[QUOTE="doctom4, post: 129468710, member: 1756333"] I think there are 10 starters from the bowl win back on offense. There are only five on defense. Three LBs, three DBs and Rose on the DL will have to be replaced. In other words, we're going to be in 40-40 games all next year, as long as Big XII defenses continue to stink. Amazingly, WVU has a chance to win as many as 10 games next year if some defenders can be found AND especially if Howard remains healthy. We're one bad tackle away from losing a bunch of games because our backup QBs took what...one quarter's worth of snaps all year? How good is WVU's offense? I don't know. They played against Liberty and eight 1A teams that were ranked 90th or worse in total defense, including the two worst in the nation (Texas Tech and Kansas respectively). Arizona State was 112th, so I don't know how excited I can get about beating them by one point. WVU was 61st, just ahead of TCU and Baylor. Oklahoma had the best total defense in the Big XII at 39th - 350 yards per game. Awful. [/QUOTE]
