Best Coach in the Big 12 mid point Offensive MVP Mid Point

[Mike]

Best coach: After a 4-8 season last year, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen was on the hot seat coming into 2014. But just halfway in, he’s already solidified his job status while turning around the Mountaineers. Despite facing a brutal early-season schedule, West Virginia is 4-2, with its only two hard-fought losses coming against Alabama and Oklahoma. He’s also helped turn quarterback Clint Trickett into one of the most improved players in the league and orchestrated a passing offense that has been prolific. This weekend, the Mountaineers even have a chance to jump into the Big 12 title conversation against Baylor.


Offensive MVP: Even though the Mountaineers have faced one of the nation’s toughest schedules in the first half of the season, West Virginia wide receiver Kevin White has been unstoppable. White, who has at least 100 yards receiving in every game so far, leads the country with 888 receiving yards, placing him within striking distance of challenging Michael Crabtree’s Big 12 single-season record of 1,962 receiving yards.
