For me it all comes down to two points

1 - did we improve from week 1 to week 2? No, no we haven't. This team is as good in week 2 as it was in week one

2 and if not....why not? From what I can tell, players haven't grasped the system, there seems to be a lack of effort, and we have a career backup at the QB spot.....

And to be honest, I don't see a team that (overall) lacks talent, but I do see one that lacks direction and identity; the good news is that the direction/identity thing can be corrected. Also see a team that lacks enthusiasm. Football is a game - play it like it's a game...have fun. Neal Brown needs to bring the joy of playing and competing back into the fold....I miss that. Going back to the RR days, win or lose, this team was fun to watch.....this ......this just isn't fun.

Coaching is a problem. This is the worst rushing for decades at WVU.

The defense is not good.

Special teams arent good.

What may be worse, the offense is offensive.

This season looks to be a disaster after Brown pushed out so many starters into the transfer portal.

But not much to see to give any evidence of improvement moving forward either. Lots of blowout losses on the horizon.

Need toughness, pride and discipline. HCNB can care for the team without trying to be there best buds. We will get there but we have to be prepared for a lot of pain along the way.
