defensive backs bad, wr bad. Purdy bad - not checking down, throwing into coverage, bad read option decisions, no scrambles. No Mitchell. very bad half.

WV looks like they're playing some sort of junkyard defense where the timing is screwing ISU up.

The most important half of the season thus far is here. This will be interesting.

I’ll never understand not trying to get a score with time left in the half

30 seconds left might be short enough that i'd still just take it to half, but yes overall we are way too conservative in this regard. Plenty of teams have scored on us with 2 minutes left in a half, but we'd usually be happy to run out the clock if we'd been given 2 minutes.

Not one pass to Jones, our best reciever, and only 2 runs by Purdy.

Has Jones been open?

Have the Purdy runs been there?

They've got a spy on Purdy so he's not going to get a ton of room.

WVU playing 4 freshmen in 2ndary, 3 true freshmen, 3 freshman on oline. wrs all true freshmen(James, te who picked on crossing pattern, jemmings, wheaton).

Jack Allison was a 4 star qb out of high school. he has a cannon, just hasnt started bc he is a statue in the pocket.

WVU gave 4-2 nc state a bad loss.

WVU had the ball down 21-17 in 4th quarter against texas before kendall threw back to back picks deep in our own territory.

In short, WVU has a good coach, a real good coach, and kids are getting better each week.
WVU also has 3 future NFL players on its dline, and ISU is doing better blocking them than Texas did.

This is a very young WVU team, but there is a lot of talent there.

Breece Hall is running the ball hard.

Our secondary definitely missing Eisenworth.

Our offense line is blocking like pansies.

Really hope that we come out of the break, stop shooting ourselves in the foot every single drive, and really get things going here. Yes I know we've been waiting for that all year and it hasn't really happened yet, but maybe the 6th time is the charm?
