If you look at the top teams in the Big XII on offense

Oklahoma- Showed in the Ohio St game that if needed can move the ball on the ground. They have two great RBs

TCU- Very efficient offense but lacks the explosiveness as OU

Oklahoma St Very explosive but even with their RBs they have had issues moving the ball in certain games

Iowa St- Might have the best balance but they lack the talent to be explosive or to grind down opponents

West Virginia- Very much like Oklahoma St but have had more problems than Okie St in recent games

Texas-Have not found their offensive identity but have dominated inferior defenses in conferences and out of conference with explosiveness and wearing down opponents

West Virginia needs to start developing players that can play multiple positions. RBs that can play FB.
TE's that can line up wide. WRs that can play TE.
RBs that can play TE.

What I have seen the teams that can use multiple formations have been able to move the ball against all opponents like Oklahoma has.
Watch OU against Ohio State. They played the second half with a FB. That lead blocker allowed them to ground down Ohio St.

have we even thrown a pass to wesco this year? this kid is 6'5 260 and can create mismatches...i've not seen much at all from him this year. i think wellman pulled in 3 passes this year? i know wellman figures in our pass protection but i was under the impression we were going to utilize this position a bit more in our offense
