Let's see if I really read the OP right.
WVU's offense had more yardage against Bud Foster's defense than any team in the past 10 years, so that's "bad" playcalling.
WVU's defense was given a much shorter field than VT's Bud Foster defense throughout the game but gave up less yardage than Bud Foster, considered the #1 defensive coordinator in America by many.
The ONLY problem with WVU was special teams, which handed VT 2 TDs, the difference in the game.
Dropped passes? Yes, early, because Grier and EVERY receiver had never played in a game before. Not so much in the second half, but a bunch.
And perhaps the best receiver of them all was not in the game because of his suspension. He'll be back against East Carolina so Grier can do even more damage.
My nearly two decades as a sportswriter, which makes me a professional analyst, says this team may have an awesome W-L record. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will be major mountains but, by the end of the season, the Big 12/TV schedule-makers may regret having WVU play Oklahoma at the end because the Sooners and Mountaineers might have to play a 2nd game a week later for the Big 12 title.
If you're unhappy with WVU's offense giving Virginia Tech defense its worst whipping in 10 years, there's no hope for you.
I love this team, and it's chances. For starters, I think East Carolina, Delaware and Kansas are facing a formidable QB, one of the best in the country. After all, he's only 7 points from being unbeaten in his college QB career of 7 games. That's not chopped liver.
By the way, Grier's father was the East Carolina QB in his college days, transferring from Richmond.
