This one bears repeating for those who doubt the Mountaineers:

WVU is the only team in the Big 12 to finish better than its preseason prediction for the past three straight years.

Dana does more with what he has.

Having Tony Gibson as defensive coordinator means that it's happening on the defense side, too.

Teams that disrespect WVU pay the price.

Now, let's roast that turkey VT Sept. 3!

IMHO Dana is meeting or exceeding the amazingly high standard of coaching up great athletes that were under the radar. My favorite part of Mountaineer pride!!

I feel very good about this game. I believe a lot in DH being able to coach a legitimate top 5 offense so long as the QB is of a high caliber and this is outside of Geno our most highly touted player for that position. Additionally I believe a lot in Gibson's ability to keep the wheels on after major turnover which has always been an issue for us.

Bottom line, top 5 offense and a top 50 defense will equal another nice season and hopefully a win over VTech on Sunday.
