[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 132811755, member: 1488840"] Something I could never understand. Why go away from something that is working? From the mid point of the second quarter on, but especially the third, WVU was playing some good defense. It can even be argued all the way up to the 5 minute mark of the 4th. The stats would bear this out as it seemed Spitt could do nothing. Maybe a play here or there but nothing consistent. Then, as usual, things go downhill. 2nd and 30 and you don't blitz to make them throw underneath? They had them in these kind of positions (2nd and 3rd and LOONNGG) several times and allowed big plays. Making your weakness (your corners) play and cover for longer periods? Then, when you drop into what they did, you get the concrete shoes and never find a player in your zone to cover - just allowing easy chunk passes and QB runs because you've never gotten your head on a swivel? No matter how you cut it up, this is just bad football. These are mistakes you would expect from a JV high school team. Not WVU... But, it may even could be excused if it was a one-off type of deal. But, the mistakes WVU makes happen repeatedly, year after year. It's like playing roulette - you spin the wheel to see what type of stupid mistake(s) will be made this week. Will it be the one from week 1 or two years ago? [/QUOTE]
