Awful, just awful
- Thread starter Soaring Eagle 74
- Start date
There is a reason Army is 9 and 3. They do know how to play football. Did you really think they were going to just let us run over them? Get a life folks. We won a bowl game against a good team. We did not lose to terrible syracuse and our team looked like it wanted to be there as did our coach. Unlike the previous regime who never looked like he wanted to be anywhere but at a bar.
End of the day you want to see something from the US Military Academy because those are the future Leaders in the Army.

WVU had a short time to prepare, but Army is not Florida or some other major opponent either.
WVU looked horrid all game. One of the worst looking WVU teams ever.
This doesn't bode well for next year when all but maybe two opponents are better than that Army squad.

Hey, Florida's super QB threw THREE interceptions in the 1st quarter of his bowl game. Everyone has a bad day. Doege had his. Kendall, usually a moderate backup QB, played just well enough to rescue the team from defeat. I am happy for Kendall and the Mountaineers. Now, Huggins, how about that national title in basketball?
Why are you here? Obviously you hate WVU. This was far from the worst team ever. Remember the game against Syracuse in the pinstripe bowl, or the last three bowl games DH coached and we lost badly to bad teams. Go away man. Your act is old and out-dated. Houston would love you as a fan.
Nailed it Wilmington. He does nothing by but ***** about Neal Brown. His alter ego Muraca777 got banned for trashing the basketball team
Look, Doege was terrible. But Florida's superstar QB & top 5 NFL draft pick, according to the experts threw THREE interceptions in the FIRST QUARTER of his bowl game. So it happens to the best of them. I'm just thrilled that the defense and backup QB Kendall saved the victory from a disciplined Army team that, appropriately, did its best work in ground battles. That will serve our country well as they move into their military careers. My hat's off to the Army once the game was over. America needs them more than my alma mater needed a bowl victory.
The game was ugly. There’s no getting around it.
Browns coaching philosophy of keeping the score as low as possible nearly cost WVU the game against a G5 opponent.
Thankfully he finally gave Kendall a chance to play in his last game before he transfers so they could pull out a victory.
Have to wonder who is coaching the receivers, or what is happening between the QBs and receivers. The number of drops was horrendous as it was all season.

I remember all too well all the bitching and moaning when the previous staff had poor showings or close losses in bowls or even won a narrow game or two. Their prep time wasnt considered, their players out wasnt considered, just the end results. All that people cared about. Even when they won it didnt matter- all you heard was “ the score was too close, could have gone either way, terrible coaching, etc etc”
Well, WVU just got a very narrow win over a G5 opponent that lost 38-12 to Tulane. And WVU looked pretty awful doing it. The coaching was not good, but the desperation move to put Kendall in was just enough. Kendall should have seen more time this season for sure, Doege has regressed.
Doesnt bode well for next season when most of the productive players are either transferring out or gone.

What terrible Syracuse team did WVU lose to in a bowl?
rewrite history much?
The last time WVU played Syracuse in a bowl SU was a top 15 program that had a 10-3 record with a 4 pt loss at Clemson and a 30-7 win over FSU. WVU was without its starting QB and multiple other top offensive and defensive players, plus had about a week and a half to prepare without those players.
Army won some G5 games but also lost to Tulane 38-12.
Your boyfriend Holgs was 0-3 vs Syracuse. With 2 of those in bowl games and Syrcause sucked balls like a G5 team.
I have sent notice to the board owners to boot your kind off. (again) So quit making profiles and showing up.
Clueless freak.
Good to know that extended layoffs effect performance. That must explain why Marshall lost their last 3 games.
Pinstripe Bowl 7-5 Syracuse team that was G5 level.
Liberty Bowl 7-5 Texas A&M another low level P5 team that had no business beating WVU. A&M came in with 2 game losing streak and finished the year 2-5 in final 7 games.
Russel Athletic Bowl to Miami,
Heart of Dallas butt whipping at the hands of 6-6 Utah
34-18 to butt kicking loss to SU. Ranked for a joke of a schedule. WVU was favored by 7. They were also ranked higher. SU finished 17th and was ranked 20th going into the game.
Thank God Brown was here to stop the Holgorsen bowl losing streak.
With the vast majority of the this extremely young team coming back next year, if Garrett Greene can take a few major steps forward this offseason, you see we are just a few critical pieces & better execution away from being a competitive team. Its painful at times to watch, to see the potential, the upside, but routine plays are not made. Bad passes, drops, missed block... Brown dont have many highly impactful upperclassmen, not yet, but our talent & depth are improving yr to yr, we just gotta be patient and give him time for the young talent to mature, develop, and gain actual experience. Nothing but time will solve these things. In many ways, I feel bad for Brown, some criticizing results based on DH's lack of recruiting in the 2015-2017 years.. Our talent improves starting in the 2018 class, takes a step back in 2019, then takes another step forward in 2020 & 2021, but it will be a couple years before the fruits of that talent really yield the result potential we seek.
I read somewhere a while back a WR coach, buying Brown Magic markers and painting tennis balls brown, then having WR's catch from a tennis ball machine. Our WR core def needs to work on hand+eye & finger strength, the drops was a serious issue all season.
No matter how well Brown recruits and gets quality transfers, WVU will not take that next significant step forward until he finds a quality QB that can make the routine plays. I appreciate all the work Doege puts in, and for all the plays he makes, he leaves so much on the field, just simple routine plays missed, bad ball placement, or dropped by the WR... Garrett Greene will only be a redshirt freshmen next yr, still very young, but Id rather he play early, which will increase his upside for his Jun & Senior seasons. It usually takes 1 full season for a QB to find "it", id rather that be early on... It would be nice to have a good QB for more then 1-2 yrs too..
Offensively, while I understand Brown is constrained by talent, experience, or skillset, when Greene takes the QB1, I want to see more creativity, less predictability, an identity of adaptability and dynamically versatile. We need more home-run threats, WR's that can turn a quick flat into a 70 yrd TD. More Speed & Shiftiness would be nice...

Brown's philosophy is:
Make sure both teams score as little as possible.
Occassionally this works out, but usually it has not.
Until he gets a high powered offense WVU is going to have trouble getting to .500 in the BIG 12 and beating major OOC competition.
Before he came, the running game was not awful.
Before he came, WVU didn't have problems dropping the ball.
Those problems the last two years show issues with COACHING, not talent level.

Holgorsens philosophy was to choke at the end of every season and to get stomped in bowl games. Thank god for Brown ending Holgorsens Bowl losing streak. The only bowl Holgorsen won with a team he recruited was eking out a 1 point win against a 6-6 pac 12 school. pretty pathetic.
You are an idiot and obvious clueless. Good grief man, we had no offensive line at all. These great players you say were here obviously were not good.
But the players coming in are much higher ranked, better players and the in-state guys are staying in state. Amazing isn't it. The wide receivers will be better as the Sams play more, and Reese. The tight ends are going to be really good next year and that offensive line will be filled with very good players and should be much improved for Leddie to run better. QB development will be paramount to next year. The Defensive line is going to be good again as the young guys got a lot of time in as well. The secondary is back and should improve with the Arizona transfer playing more. Linebackers should be better as they are almost all back as well.
So please go away. You see nothing but negative because you don't want them to succeed and that makes you a ridiculous and clueless.
Wrong as usual. Yeah because WVU never dropped a pass ever when Holgorsen was coaching. Are you high? Addicted to coke or crack? You have never posted here with any substantial information.
Brown has a better conference record the first 2 years than Holgorsen had.
