58-14 was impressive but was created by 4 turnovers and a QB who lost his manhood

So the other side of the coin

West Virginia was 1-10 on third down.
Back to the same issues. How can WV not get a first down on third.

This will be a big issue against Texas.

Rushing defense

Baylor rushed for 82 yards still on West Virginia

 

[CAJUNEER_rivals]

You think 82 yards is a bad stat for WVU? >2.3 per carry.

 

[TownesVanZandt_rivals]

2.3 means 3rd and 5.

3rd and 5 against Texas means that the QB Power is an option.

QB Power means you have more blockers than defenders.

Rushing yards should be less than 2 yards a carry

 

[Chazz Michael Michaels]

What? For the most part D looked very good.
Much of the yards given up vs Baylor were when we had backups in game.
But we will need to be stout vs. Baylor. This is a game that Campbell can help. Loe looked good. He looks ready to be in rotation. He plays fast.

2.3 means 3rd and 5.

[WVUALLEN]

If you run 2.3 yard avg 3 times your not getting a 1st down unless you go for it on 4th.

58 points. Didn't punt until 4th quarter.

1st drive 4 plays - 1st down on every play and TD
13 points off 4 TO's
Turnovers are part of the game. It's the same as stopping a team for 3 and out. So 82 yards rushing are a bad thing on the defense. Since when?

That 82 yard rushing quote is perhaps the dumbest of the year.

 

[TownesVanZandt_rivals]

No....
It puts teams in 3rd and 5.

Problem with 3rd and 5 for teams that run the QB power is the play is a guaranteed 4 yards.

It is the power with an extra blocker
The power is called "God's play" out of the spread because it is hard to stop if you have an OL that gets down field.

Texas getting anything shorter than 3rd and 5 is an issue .

WV needs to put Texas in 3rd and 8 or above.

 

[TownesVanZandt_rivals]

Last year with no OLine at all Texas ran for 225+ yards.
Ehlinger ran for 68 yards on 9 carries.

 

[Cuyahoga Falls Eers_rivals]

It's silly to attack a team what routed Baylor and kept its starters on the sidelines for the entire 4th quarter.

5 FGs is a concern. I'll give you that. Won't be Texas.

But defense gave up 95 yards to Baylor in the first half. That is NOT a concern. Defense made 3 interceptions. That is NOT a concern. Special teams recovered a KO return fumble. That is NOT a concern.

Everyone should feel tons better after the Baylor game than they felt after the Iowa State game.

Yes, Texas will be FAR better than Baylor. So will Texas.

But WVU is 6-1 and can play in the Big 12 title game by winning out. Lot of season left. Enjoy the ride.

How could they? Since "God's play" is in effect, it would be impossible to stop since it is a guaranteed 4 yards.

That leaves two questions:
1) What kind of special moron wouldn't run " God's play" every down since it is a guaranteed 4 yards? How could said team not score a touchdown literally every possession?
2) How could team that runs "God's play" not beat Maryland with it? Is Maryland better than God?

 

[spartansstink]

Last year with no OLine at all Texas ran for 225+ yards.
Ehlinger ran for 68 yards on 9 carries.

That's because WVU had no defense whatsoever last year. It wasn't anything special. Kansas did it to us worse.

But, that was LAST YEAR! Not this year. Perhaps Texas can repeat the performance. I'm certainly not on the hype train that came from last night's win. I saw it more as a mixture of solid defense and Baylor constantly shooting themselves in the foot offensively. Out of the 4 turnovers, one or maybe two were truly forced turnovers. The other pair or so were more lucky bounces right into our hands.

Definitely glad to see the offense switch some things up. That will have to continue to win against Texas, although I don't see Texas' defense being a whole lot better than Baylor's. Better, yes. Not by that large a margin.

If Texas plays WVU like they did Baylor, in which they barely squeaked out a victory, the scoreboard could look similar to what it did last night. I guess we'll just have to wait to see what UT and WVU teams show up.

Because first and second downs are important.

A little football speak.
Smashmouth spread football only works with a QB that can run and throw the ball down field.
Meaning that the safeties have to go over the top of the WRs. When the safeties out of the picture you can run Power and QB Power.

But on third and 11 the play is not in play but in third and short it is .

 

[spartansstink]

2.3 means 3rd and 5.

3rd and 5 against Texas means that the QB Power is an option.

QB Power means you have more blockers than defenders.

Rushing yards should be less than 2 yards a carry

What the QB Power is is a play out of the old single-wing concept in which you over power one side of the line with more blockers than defenders.

However, its pretty easy to defend if you have a lot of team speed defensively and can get penetration. Texas will have to be unpredictable when running it for it to be successful for otherwise it will play right into WVU's wheelhouse - the one thing they have sacrificed is size for speed. Or they can run it with mixed results early on and hope the pounding wears down WVU's defense late in the game.

Sure, as long as the front 6/7 aren't getting penetration or not filling their gaps. If they are, the power is out really no matter the situation. To continue with the football speak, the team that wins on first and second down wins the ball game most of the time anyway.

 

[TownesVanZandt_rivals]

I think the biggest impact will be if WV's CBs can push around Texas' WR.

If not then they have to put a safety over the top.
On third and 4 WV will have to either play the WRs or play the run game.

What you are talking only works if a QB doesn't change the play at the line.

I agree with the one on one battles between the WRs and CBs and OL and DL.

Texas wants to turn the game like this. More importantly they would much rather play a methodical game with Field position determining the outcome.

DH doesnt want to turn the game into a LOS battle.
He would much rather force Texas to open up their offense and keep pressure on them by making big plays on offense

You must be dumb as glue.
More importantly no Tennessee fan is afraid of Bama. Proof you are not a real Vol.

LSU is going in dry on Bama. They aren't as great as everyone thinks.

If Texas played Bama it will go down as it usually does with a Texas victory.
Bama has one victory against Texas in the history of their entire program.
This series goes back 115 years with a bunch of different coaches.

Your football IQ is showing....

CFB is hard to have an offense that is capable of doing everything because of personal.
Meaning no team can play with 5 WRs than go to 2 TEs than go to a Full House back field.

Next best thing is to have an offense that can attack a D at every level.

Meaning that a QB power works because the defense is afraid of having their top taken off.
Safeties are force to go out over the top of the WR


Like I have said the key matchup will be WV's CBs on Texas' WR.
The corners need to be able to handle 1 on 1 matchups.

4 yards per carry by OSU means 3rd and 2. 3rd and 2 means a loss by Texas. Now you face a much better offense and defense. It could be ugly next week in Austin.

Football is a chess game with human bodies. Offense needs to adjust what the defense is doing on every play. Defense needs to adjust to what the offense is doing on every play. What happens in the first half often determines what works in the 2nd half. If you out-guess the other team, you win. If they out-guess you, you lose. It's so simple even a caveman can figure it out.

Iowa State out-smarted and out-played WVU. The Mountaineers out-smarted and out-played Baylor. Period.

Now if my alma mater can out-smart and out-play Texas, TCU, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma and WVU's Big 12 title game opponent, we'll all be deliriously happy to watch the Mountaineers in the Football Final Four.

Not quite true but close. He's no Pat White but he has racked as many as 15 yards by running this season, one for a TD. Dana doesn't WANT him to run much because he wants that golden arm to stay in the game. Remember when Grier ran and broke his finger. WVU went 0-3 after that last season.

Texas has a Achilles heel with running QBs.
Oklahoma St's first quarter outburst was because of freshmen CBs. Those CBs won't be playing.
The rest of the game Okie Lite had about 85 yards a quarter.
A lot of those yards came do to the read option and a running QB.
