Pat White and Steve Slaton had us up 28-0 before the final notes of The National Anthem wafted away in the wind.Tell that to the 2013 Oklahoma State, #11 in the country when Trickett made his first Mountaineer Field start.Tells that to Arizona State in the Cactus Bowl. The game went back and forth the entire game so that you couldn't take a breather. And David Sills made the game-winning TD catch.Tell that to Baylor in 2012, when 63 points wasn't enough to beat WVU.Tell that to Clemson in the Orange Bowl when WVU more than doubled the score against the great ACC team.Look, no one is unhappier and more dismayed about the Iowa State disaster than me. But the Big 12 is an extremely tough conference, game after game. You play everybody. Nearly every bottom half team wins a game against a top half team.And it's college football, where the most predictable thing is unpredictability.WVU is 5-1. If it matches the Geno Smith's team freefall to 7-6 then we'll re-visit this topic in a somber tone. But if my alma mater can beat Baylor and go 2-2 against the November From Hell schedule of Texas -- this, IN Texas, will be a tough one to hook with a W -- TCU, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, that would be an 8-3 season. Not exactly chopped liver.The way the Big 12 works, with teams surprising each other, WVU isn't out of the Big 12 title game yet. Yes, serious work ahead. But it is doable.We'll see.
