The whole team was flat, but the offensive line owns this loss, Howard was eaten alive, had no time at all to do anything, so he made poor decisions and hurried his throws. I hope they learn from the L and move forward, with as many of our kids injured to some degree today, I am glad it is Kansas next week on the schedule!!!
A changed man. Nice to see.
Indeed, Shell knocking out 6 yards on first down reliably really helps the offense on 2nd and 3rd. I don't know that I have changed, but Holgorsen sure has, I am seeing some WVU football on the field this year, some good defense, utilizing the running game efficiently. There is still work to do, play selection in the red zone had been better against TT and TCU, this week the offense was limited by Shell going down, so I will give Holgorsen a pass on some play selection. We still have ST work needing addressed, and WTF happened to the offensive line this week???????
Yes, seems the idea was to milk clock and have the last possession, if would have worked had the O line let Howard have a few seconds to work with!!!! Or maybe as someone said above, with a little quicker tempo the offense would have clicked, who knows.
I didn't see the whole game, just the second half, and didn't see a replay. I saw live action only, and from what I saw, Howard did not have time to get through his reads, he was not protected well at all. WVU played well enough to win, if not for the turnovers, I will not get into officiating, there are bad calls both ways in every game.
