GAME THREAD WVU vs. Oklahoma State

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Is it okay to start ignoring all the DH haters? I mean if they haven't shown up before now......

I'm no DH guy but this performance is more on the players than the coaches. Bad decisions by the QB, O-Line can get a push, WRs dropping passes ... etc.

Stream of the big game today

Tough day for the offense. When things go bad, about this time of the year - every year, it's usually because the offense gives out.

Passive-aggressive *******

Score a td here and we are still in it. Going to be tough with the way we are playing, but doable.

Dana has earned a lot of criticism, or "hate" as you put it. Although the way he finally adapted to making the most out his players rather than trying to force incompatible personnel is good progression as a HC. Still think he deserves a bit of a dig on how the offense is playing today and how inefficient it has been in all games except the TTU game.

 

[EERs 3:16]

It was really the PI against White that set the tone for the day......

 

[WVU_98_rivals]

Td! Now, if the defense forces a 3 and out, we will be in business.

 

[WVU_98_rivals]

What a play by Fleming! Getting blocked and makes the solo tackle!

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Defense has played very well. Think about the turnovers that have put the OSU offense is great position to score.

The defense hasn't played bad, however no turnovers and not many three and outs. You are right that the offense put them in a bad spot for 14 of those points, but giving up a lot of yards and losing the field position battle. Point being I was worried that the defense wouldn't be as good as it has been at some point and the veteran offense would need to step it up. Defense has been a great surprise, but the offense not being better than what we've seen is disappointing.

Preston heard you ex-pat !

We`re turning it around. Go D! Go Skyler!

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Gotta get points here to have a chance

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Good run by Durante, but Jennings needs to block better as that could've been a TD.

 

[.Bodhi.]

Two TERRIBLE calls in a row.

 

[EERs 3:16]

followed up by a terrible pass

 

[WVU-Brand]

Scratch and claw

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

No TD means more pressure on D. Cannot give up any points now.

 

[MountaineerWV]

On 2nd and goal, we had them set up PERFECTLY out of the eye formation for the fake handoff bootleg by the QB around the end for a walk in TD. Instead, we did a dive play with 9 in the box.

 

[WVU-Brand]

If only Will Grier could have found a transfer loophole

 

[Orlaco]

No TD means more pressure on D. Cannot give up any points now.

True..but OK is now in 'can't make a mistake' mode too.

 

[xWVU2010x]

At least we won't have to rely on the kicking game in a big spot to tie, gotta stay glass half full

 

[WVU-Brand]

Is Molina 12? He has serious baby leg.

 

[Orlaco]

I f'n hate our kickoff coverage. ..an embarrassment

 

[MountaineerWV]

Defense cannot give up any points here. And although OSU has a great FG kicker, he has missed one already. But the odds of another aren't high, so cannot let them get it inside the 30 yard line.

 

[MountaineerWV]

I f'n hate our kickoff coverage. ..an embarrassment

You realize, they forced TWO turnovers last week with great coverage????? How quickly we forget....

 

[EERs 3:16]

An interception would go a very ...VERY long ways

 

[Orlaco]

You realize, they forced TWO turnovers last week with great coverage????? How quickly we forget....

You realize that you can't count on TO's... ...and the unit sucks... ...right?

They suck. Make it something diff if you want...

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Gotta stop em now. at our 40

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

You realize, they forced TWO turnovers last week with great coverage????? How quickly we forget....

True, but that return guy held the ball like a loaf of bread.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Giving up that 3rd down may be it. they can go up 2 scores with less than 6 min in the game.

 

[MountaineerWV]

True, but that return guy held the ball like a loaf of bread.

He was also one of the best in the league at returning.....

 

[MountaineerWV]

OK....now can we say "GAME OVER"???????

 

[MountaineerWV]

That was as much of a PI as f**king White's was early in the game.....he shoved our DB.

 

[.Bodhi.]

Will we drop out of the top 25?

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Well that will do it .... and that was bad defense when WVU needed it most. Still have 3 very winnable games left and 2 big boys that we can still compete with.

 

[xWVU2010x]

Yes it's over. We got away with the f@$( up fest against KSU, weren't so lucky today

 

[MountaineerWV]

Will we drop out of the top 25?

I laugh....but in a way, it's also a serious post. I know there will be guys shoving their chests out saying "see, told you so" on ESPN afterwards. And as for ranking drop, I can see them dropping us to #20.......which would again prove that rankings and those doing know nothing.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

That was as much of a PI as f**king White's was early in the game.....he shoved our DB.

More so. The White offensive PI call was complete phantom as White only received hand contact and never reciprocated.

 

[ChattanoogaEER]

OK....now can we say "GAME OVER"???????

U happy now?

 

[MountaineerWV]

Of course there's a flag on that play......but not one for Defensive PI on 1st down.....

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

HUGE screw up by Crawford. even if he gets leveled it would've been enough for Durante to break free.
