I’ve heard he’s taking some heat……. that Big Money down in Houston wants to WIN, and if they don’t, it won’t be pretty for Holgorsen….. 8)


Absolutely have got to slowdown and keep Houston’s offense off the field and out of the endzone. The Mountaineers defense, thats been pretty darn good so far, although the back end is suspect, will be the key….. Holgorsen will spread them out and run uptempo and sling it all over the field, if they get a couple of scores ahead it’ll be difficult for WVU to score enough points to win, as the offense has been about ball control, eat clock and don’t turn it over e.g. conservative.

ENJOY…… :wink:

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
