"It's just one game
This time last season West Virginia lost to Penn State by a similar score and still turned things around to win nine games."
It is just one game. But it is one game that looks an awful lot like MANY underachieving games WVU has had under coach Brown. At a point it becomes a pattern. Secondly, it is highly doubtful WVU gets a majority of it's opponents being .500 or less quality teams this year. So if WVU hasn't improved from last years opener to this year's with most players returning, it's a pretty big problem.
