Well Mountaineers it sure did not go the way we hoped in Laurence Kansas this past Saturday as the Jayhawks dominated the Mountaineers in all three phases of the game. A total disaster on the field. This tends to make me believe that the Pitt victory was nothing but fools gold and the Panthers simply may not be a very good football team and so the Mountaineer victory in the Backyard Brawl may not have been as special as we all believed at the time.

In any event it became pretty clear in the game at Lawrence Kansas that WVU has a long way to go before we can seriously compete for a Big 12 Championship, However we should have already assumed this much with 80+ new players on this squad attempting to figure out a new offence and defense for all of them. On top of this the Mountaineer offense has lost 3 offensive lineman in a group that was already thin. They have lost their star senior tailback Jahim White for the season early in the Ohio Bobcat s game after rushing for a 43 yard TD earlier in the game. They then found a new tailback in Tye Edwards who starred in the Backyard Brawl with 141 yards and 3 TDs but lost him to a hip injury.

This season will be a struggle but who knows, I still believe its possible to win 6 games and go to a bowl game which would be a pretty good accomplishment in this first season in the 2nd era of Rich Rodriguez football.

This week we have Hall of Fame week in Morgantown with 3 familiar names going into the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. Former WVU Punter and current Sports celebrity Pat Mcaffey, Longtime WVU assistant football coach Bill Kirelawich who coached for legendary Mountaineer football coach Don Nehlen for many years. And finally we will induct former Mountaineer Head Coach the late Bill Stewart. It should be a great fun day for all in attendance.

As for the game against the Jayhawks, well it really does not deserve a recap as the Mountaineers simply didn’t show up and quite frankly nobody would bother to read it anyway. For complete recap click on the game date of the Kansas game in the WVU schedule, however it is grim reading.

Now we take on the Utah Utes in Morgantown this Saturday at 3:30 pm FOX.



Until Next Time: Lets GOOOOOOO Mountaineers!!!!!!!
