GAME THREAD WVU vs. TCU

[Keenan Cummings]

Scouts for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots in attendance here today.

Also representatives from the Russell Athletic Bowl and Advocare V100 Texas Bowl are expected today.

 

[Orlaco]

My concerns for today's game...

--Special teams (as usual).

--Stopping the run. Expect TCU to (again) overload one side and pound the ball...probably with some success. We can't let them get into a rhythm where they control too much of the clock.

--Despite DH saying (to paraphrase) turnovers are not that big of a deal....I don't think we're good enough to lose that battle on a regular basis in close game and keep winning.

Robert Walker honorary captain for the coin toss. Awesome!

 

[WVU-Brand]

That was fast lol

 

[bugEER]

Dayummmm!! We're back!

 

[WVU-Brand]

Paaaaaaaper
Where's Paper?

 

[EERs 3:16]

Obviously, we're not going to tackle Hicks

[WVU-Brand]

I love this defense

 

[EERs 3:16]

Curious play calling .........

 

[WVU-Brand]

Arndt is all over the place

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Great start, but a 6 point swing on two misfires. At least 3 points left on the field from missing open looks and another 3 dropping a TCU pick in the red zone. Would like to see our run game be more like TCUs so far.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Damnit ... tackle guys. Easy sack turned into a 10 yard gain.

 

[EERs 3:16]

Defense?........Defense? ........Defense?

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Need the offense to answer here. Given up 10 unanswered.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Defense?........Defense? ........Defense?

They are in good position, just missed on a few tackles and that hurt.....

 

[EERs 3:16]

They are in good position, just missed on a few tackles and that hurt.....

Well, that's the problem, they keep missing tackles......esp for losses.

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

Just a little push from the receiver on the TD. No call, but would like to see another replay.

 

[EERs 3:16]

Well, let's see just how good the running game is......

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

They are in good position, just missed on a few tackles and that hurt.....

When we had two guys around hill for a 7 yard loss, but instead let him get out for a completed pass hurt the most.

 

[EERs 3:16]

Nice response!!!!!

 

[EERs 3:16]

Now we need at least ten more stops of defense.....

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Good answer there by the offense. A defensive stop next should get the momentum securely in our corner. At least hold em to 3.

 

[EERs 3:16]

that's going to be fifteen yards

 

[WVU-Brand]

This game is becoming so pussified

 

[EERs 3:16]

They really need to work on this targeting rule.......it's so subjective it's not even funny

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Aw, horsesh*t!

 

[EERs 3:16]

OH BS...there's no way that should be an ejection........what a crap fest

 

[WVU-Brand]

Absolutely ridiculous. The rule makes no sense the way it's written.

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

I actually saw a worse call in a high school game Friday night (hard to believe) but that targeting call was the worst call I've seen in a college game in, oh, ...forever.

Just an awful call.

 

[WVU-Brand]

This game is so lopsided toward offense it's hardly football anymore.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Sustained drive for some points

 

[EERs 3:16]

Shell came to kick ***.......


good

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Gained field position, but needed points or a little more time off the clock. Quick stop by defense and hopefully we get last offensive possession of the half.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Poor decision by Howard. Durante bailed him out big time

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Don't agree with that 2nd down call. I do agree with not going too fast to not give TCU a quality last possession. Gibson or shorts here on 3rd down

 

[WVU-Brand]

Just like last week, more Howard runs

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Or that ...
