GAME THREAD WVU vs. Oklahoma State

[Rootmaster]

Seems like we have seen this kind of thing happen in the past few seasons. Maybe it is some kind of Halloween curse? After that thud of a 1st half maybe things will get on track in the second half.

Same thing under Rich Rod too. I remember the South Florida loss....we fumbled it....could do anything right, and Levitt's team dominated us.

GAME.....OVER....

At least you wont have to watch the rest of the game then.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Big play right there.....had QB sack and ends up completing a long 3rd down pass...

 

[MountaineerWV]

WOW....big break there.....gotta answer with a TD drive here.

 

[torontoeers]

Take advantage here O!

 

[MountaineerWV]

Game too fast today for Howard.....that's a fact.

 

[WVU-Brand]

Second week in a row Skylar shows himself to be a mental midget.

 

[dogeered_again]

Change the uniforms and you're watching WVU the past two weeks.

Bullett, meet foot.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Maybe, maybe not. However, if OSU takes it down field and scores again to start the half....then it's time to look at what bowl the 2nd or 3rd place team in the Big 12 gets.....

All that said, I would be very happy with a 9-3 regular season. Now, after this start, going 8-4 would NOT be a good season in my opinion.

I agree. With 2 definite should wins in KU and ISU on the schedule. An 8-4 season means we either screwed up in a loss to the bottom 2 BIG XII teams or we went 0-4 against OSU, UT, OU, and Baylor. should win at least one of those 4.

The Sky will come back and show the Mountaineer fans what he is made of. I promise.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Team with a pocket QB and team without......

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

WVU is 6-0 only because Howard is NOT the focal point of the offense. Until this point, WVU has compensated for his inability to run the offense wide open. I agree with the current strategy with or without Howard. Good D and strong run game will always be more likely to win games that flashy offense and sieve D. See 2012 and 2014 Mountaineers along with current TTU team. That being said, a slightly better passer would do wonders for this team.

 

[EERs 3:16]

So, when will the OL finally showup?

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

C'mon Howard ... how did he miss McCoy in the flat as an outlet to avoid that sack.

 

[jpoppa]

Damn

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

Team with a pocket QB and team without......

Team with good o-line play today and one without.. That's the difference so far. We`ve put no pressure on Rudolph.

So, when will the OL finally showup?

Shell AND Crawford out? We become pretty one dimensional.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Big drop by Gibson

 

[MountaineerWV]

We have had him sacked twice, and he slipped out both times. Howard is creating his own pressure by holding on to the ball and not making his progressions across the field. He's looking at one side of the field and holding on to it. Pay attention to Rudolph. He makes his initial read, looks at his second, and then tosses it out of bounds.

Shell AND Crawford out? We become pretty one dimensional.

I thought it was Antonio Crawford the D back.

 

[WVU_98_rivals]

We are getting outplayed and only down by 10.

 

[EERs 3:16]

A pick six would be huge

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

The offense was supposed to be our strength ... 10 points in about 3 quarters is unacceptable.

 

[EERs 3:16]

well, we have good field position, let's hope Howard can finally start seeing the field. wonder if they'll start rolling him out of the pocket...cause the OL ain't blocking

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Big sack there ... kudos to Preston

 

[torontoeers]

Preston heard you ex-pat !

 

[EERs 3:16]

and cue wvpaper

 

[MountaineerWV]

And..........that's ballgame folks.......

 

[WVU-Brand]

That's the game

 

[torontoeers]

Oh Gsus!!!!!

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Game, set, match. Turn out the lights.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Remind me.....who is in charge of this "potent" offense? Our defense has saved us, but the offense continues to put them in bad situations that they cannot get away from....

 

[.Bodhi.]

whoops, right in the fvcking hands. pathetic play all around today.

 

[EERs 3:16]

Is it okay to start ignoring all the DH haters? I mean if they haven't shown up before now......

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Well that makes this so much harder. Not a great throw by Howard, but not his fault. However, not much in the good category for his performance today. Defense finally getting worked like I worried would happen eventually and the offense is no where to be found.

Not anymore...

Defense has played very well. Think about the turnovers that have put the OSU offense is great position to score.

 

[wvpaper]

Tough day for the offense. When things go bad, about this time of the year - every year, it's usually because the offense gives out.
