Some of the complaints of the past have been - we faded in the 2nd half of games... and in the 2nd halves of seasons.
The sample size is small, but here is something encouraging; scoring by quarter. I think it shows we make halftime adjustments.

I am throwing out the Missouri game - not because it wrecks my theory, but because it was a blowout. Playing Missouri even in the 2nd half means nothing if it is on their third string.

In games that were still undecided in the second half (JMU, NCState, KU), here is what we have:

1st Q: WVU 21, Opp 14 + 7
2nd Q: WVU 13, Opp 21 - 8
3rd Q: WVU 27, Opp 19 + 8
4th Q: WVU 32, Opp 10 +22

Sample size is small, but I am hoping this shows we are good at halftime adjustments.
