GAME THREAD West Virginia football vs. Oklahoma State
- Thread starter Keenan Cummings
- Start date
That is some effing bull**** from the Big 12 officials. James was clearly not down until his back hit and the football was across the plane. Still not excuse for us not to score on 1 and goal from the 1, but a clear touchdown. The only thing down before the ball crossed the plane was the side of his ankle.
blow all the smoke you want but there IS NOT a single O lineman on this team that will play on Sundays
Another BS call...that wasnt a hold....amazing....we score a TD and complete a 30 yard pass and the refs say no.
Refs are garbage. There was no evidence to overturn the OSU first down call on the field. Then they missed a blatant hold by OSU 2 plays later.
So far we haven't stopped them in the redzone and left 7 points on the field. Doege needs to be a bit more decisive and not take sacks. We've outplayed them so far, but made too many mistakes. Gotta play clean the last 10 min.
Do we not audible? OSU tipped their hand on the all out blitz and we didn't hot route or audible? Had plenty of opportunities, but mental mistakes and stone hands killed us.
Yes, but then the offense's inability to get six inches in three plays is shameful enough to bench the entire line for the rest of the year.
Would not have been in that situation if they don't screw you. You know the line sucks but you don't put 2 huge TE in the game to push you over the line for a TD. Is nuts. QB should have went low instead of sneaking high.
Missed a FG, settled for 1 FG in the red zone, and got screwed while also screwing up 3 tries to score a TD after starting 1 and goal from the one. Doege took too many sacks instead of getting rid of the ball. Brown played good for the most part, but took too many negative plays by trying to be shifty in the backfield. Tavon Austin he is not, so trying to stop on a dime and completely reverse field hurts. When you actually have a defense and limited offense, a no gain play is much preferable to a 4+ yard loss. WR's need to make some damn catches.
I'm tired of hearing about a "bad O-Line". I've seen bad Offensive lines still gain 100 yards a game. Our problem is our head coach will NOT commit to the run.
When the officials allow a sub for defense to come and they get in 3 point stance. Then Defense changes their min and sub again taking 8 seconds to run off the field. Then the official steps away with 3 seconds to go on play clock. You have to call time out.
On the plus side, WVU no longer has to decide whether or not to play Doege in a bowl game and burn his redshirt.
Doege has looked really good so far but near the end OSU was blitzing big time and Doege didn't look as good then. So that's something they can work on. I'm still glad they redshirted him.
Although there are still big lapses on defense now and then (like Texas Tech scoring a TD on their first five possessions), WVU is developing a strong defense. Although they missed a few tackles today, they generally tackle well. They don't miss many and also, when they do tackle they usually prevent the ballcarrier from falling forward for a yard or two extra. I think that's good coaching.
The announcers commented today on how well the WRs are covered. How often on a fleaflicker do you see a sack? Not often but we saw one today and I suspect that's because our DBs read it well and the QB had no one to throw it too.
People that liked the 45-41 games may end up not liking the current regime but it's okay by me. I don't need flashy stuff, I just like good football, even if it's good defense and lower scoring games.
And I've yet to see WVU loafing on defense (or offense for that matter). The guys are buying in and playing hard.
And they mentioned Murph Tinsley (I could have that last name wrong), the guy that took video from the endzone at the WVU games. I had never heard of him until the other day when I read a long article about him in The Athletic. Lots and lots and lots of former WVU players had good things to say about him in that article.

Quit making excuses. The rule is that the defense is given time to substitute. On a 40 second clock, 8 freaking seconds isn't that much.
Ultimately time wasn't the issue. In fact WVU had plenty of time and needed to try to bleed the clock before scoring to prevent OSU from having any time later. The downfall was a 1 yard loss on second down, a drop by Simmons on 3rd, and Doege not recognizing the all out blitz before the 4th down play that was going to take too long to develop.
It was more than 8 seconds and should have been a delay penalty on the defense. If a second one is called it's unsportsmanlike penalty and 15 yards from then on. You can't snap the ball if the official is standing between the QB and center. That official is suppose to be out of the way at the 30 second count and was not. With only 10 seconds left because Okie State was allowed 2 substitutions.
No excuse being used.
maybe not wait till 15 sec left on the play clock to change out offensive personnel and you wouldn’t have to blow TO’s
