GAME THREAD WVU vs. Oklahoma State

[Keenan Cummings]

 

[WVU-Brand]

Imagine that, Corso picked OSU.

 

[Vernon]

Off to a solid start. Let's see how the defense attacks that Ok State offense.

 

[WVU-Brand]

How long does WVU need to be in this freakin conference before it stops getting the "New Kid" treatment?

 

[skygusty_rivals]

Terrible interference call.

How long does WVU need to be in this freakin conference before it stops getting the "New Kid" treatment?

Perhaps one of the WORST calls I've ever seen in my time watching football......

It sure as hell was...wtf???

 

[MountaineerWV]

Well that one call has changed the momentum of this game....OSU offense has the rhythm now.

 

[WVU_98_rivals]

Howard has happy feet. He needs to settle down a bit.

 

[skygusty_rivals]

Gibson gets BOTH feet down!

 

[MountaineerWV]

Howard not looking good thus far. Looks rattled.

 

[torontoeers]

Geez Sky...just go down...swallow the loss!

 

[MountaineerWV]

We are getting about 5 yards per rush.....and we have 3rd and 4 in our own territory.....hmmm......

 

[MountaineerWV]

And THAT is on Skylar Howard and nobody else......

 

[CAJUNEER_rivals]

And THAT is on Skylar Howard and nobody else......

Somebody tell Howard the fans think the moment is too big for him. He seems to play better when he thinks the world's against him.

 

[TexasforevEER]

Geez Sky...just go down...swallow the loss!

Can you believe The Sky tried to get that pass off? Wow! What a mistake!

 

[GetYaNumbersUp]

Why do we run that keep with Howard? It never works

 

[Vernon]

I have a feeling the FG troubles are going to be costly to WVU over the remainder of the season.

 

[xWVU2010x]

Making about every single possible mistake that happens in an upset

 

[coalcountry52]

The upset is on. At least we're bowl eligible.

 

[GetYaNumbersUp]

Making about every single possible mistake that happens in an upset

Honestly this wouldn't be much of an upset. These teams are about even, but they have a MUCH better QB.

 

[Falstaff]

We need a turnover

 

[MountaineerWV]

How many times are we gonna give them the quick slant on 3rd down and short????

 

[xWVU2010x]

Need to keep them out of the end zone here

 

[TexasforevEER]

did you see the personal foul? Crazy stuff going on!

 

[MountaineerWV]

Think about it.....they score a TD here....and get ball first in 2nd half.....we could find ourselves down by 3 scores quickly.

 

[MountaineerWV]

The turning point, to this point, was Howard's turnover. We were up 10-6, with the ball, momentum on our side....and then THAT.

 

[MountaineerWV]

GAME.....OVER....

 

[MountaineerWV]

did you see the personal foul? Crazy stuff going on!

Tyler did come in late with a shoulder in to the OSU lineman. However, the same thing happened to a WVU lineman in the 1st quarter and there was NO FLAG.

 

[WVU_98_rivals]

Why didn't We use as timeout with 45 seconds left. Coaching error! Now, we have 15 seconds left and will take a knee.

 

[TexasforevEER]

Ok........................it will soon be halftime. WV will come out in the second half with emotion enough to pull out the win. Trust me on this one. Warez

 

[coalcountry52]

Game. Set. Match. Won't be surprised if this turns into a blowout. Defense can't stop OSU now.

 

[wvpaper]

Calls are mathematically one sided. But maybe OSU is playing a perfect game

 

[xWVU2010x]

We're losing and deserve to be losing. I hope we win the Big XII, but idk if we want to see this team in a playoff game vs Bama, OSU, or Mich. Would be a 3 hour commercial of us and the Big XII being exposed

 

[torontoeers]

GAME.....OVER....

Not quite yet...need one or two of those big D turnovers 2ND half.

 

[torontoeers]

Can you believe The Sky tried to get that pass off? Wow! What a mistake!

Needs to have a solid 2nd.

 

[torontoeers]

I have a feeling the FG troubles are going to be costly to WVU over the remainder of the season.

Yep...and force Holgs to go at times when he really shouldn't ....pulling for the kid. Needs to land a longer one...may not get that chance now....

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

1. OSU is handling our pressure well, frequently hitting the slant in single coverage just before WVU pressure gets there.
2. Howard made a huge blunder on that fumble. I know he wants to make a play, but he has to eat it when a D lineman has his throwing arm hindered.
3. That offensive PI call on White was total horses**t. No contact at all by White and arguable PI against OSU although not egregious.
4. We did get hosed on that second Gibson TD. He was forced out of bounds making him eligible to come back in and catch the TD while dragging the foot like he did.
5. Molina is becoming a bigger and bigger liability. Not being able to kick off into the endzone or reliably make a 40 yard field goal hurts us.
6. Offense needs to show its experienced leadership ... 10-6 with the defense getting a stop and Howard turns the ball over after 3 plays. Offense has to reward defensive stops.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Not quite yet...need one or two of those big D turnovers 2ND half.

Maybe, maybe not. However, if OSU takes it down field and scores again to start the half....then it's time to look at what bowl the 2nd or 3rd place team in the Big 12 gets.....

All that said, I would be very happy with a 9-3 regular season. Now, after this start, going 8-4 would NOT be a good season in my opinion.
