Well the season is getting close and no one expects WV to be much of a threat in the Big 12 this year. Not so fast naysayers. 2 names will rise to forefront this season for the Mountaineers and carry the Mountaineers to a overachieving season. With the loss of Austin, Bailey, and Geno Smith, WV's offense should be in shambles---but it wont be because Dana Holgerson knows how to score points and he knows the kind of players it takes to score those points. Enter into the picture: 1) Charles Sims RB transfer from Houston. This is a versatile back who can do all the things Austin did last year minus a few secs of speed. Expect to see Sims get lots of action running, catching, and possibly returning kicks. The next player to remember is the kid of a football coach who has been around football his entire life. 2) Clint Trickett--son of one time Mountaineer Football Coach Rick Trickett. This my friends will be your starting QB because Mallard doesn't have it and Childress isn't ready. I predict Trickett will be a HUGE surprise for WV because he is a smart player and will understand the mechanics of the Holgerson system better than the other QB's. Trickett's skill set is far above the other two QB's as well. So will these two newcomers make the difference? The Diehard thinks so.
