...is brought to you by WBGV, who opines on the bizarre offensive mutations of the formerly unstoppable Firecouchbone:
Do we not scout? Do we not have a gameplan? Do we not know what the other team is going to do and how to react? Do we not practice during the week and prepare?
West Virginia's fans are prepared, at least.
Ahh, the undeniable cri de coueur of a fan stuck in post-greatness coaching comedown. The fun for West Virginia fans looking for statistical poo to throw at their coaches is only starting: with Pat White, Dorrell Jalloh, and Jock Sanders, the offense has gone from the 15th in total offense in the nation to 72nd and fallen from 3rd nationally in 2007 to 14th overall in rushing offense.
The big emphasis on the pass Stewart mentioned before the season? Like-a-this?
"I think you'll see a more diversified Pat White," Stewart said. "He's a very good passer. The guy's got touch. He's going to be even more exciting for the game of college football."
The West Virginia passing offense ranked 114th in 2007. The emphasis on the pass has improved them to 106th in the nation, or ahead of only Syracuse in the Big East in that department.

The game wasn’t as close as the overtime made it appear. If it weren’t for a bad game against UConn by the 3rd and 4th string qbs, the Bearcats would be ranked even higher now.

the only reason Stewart said last week “i dont like the rankings” is because he knows that creates expectations…. the natives are growing VERY restless…

4 failed pass attempts in a row from the 6 yard line with Pat White and Noel Devine in the backfield. I’m speechless.

the visible frustration shown by Pat White throughout the game was a nice new twist in this fucked up season though and something we never saw during the previous regime…. ripping off the chin straps and his helmet, yelling at coaches, genuine frustration toward the staff… I’ve been a diehard fan for years, and I’ve never seen any player not named Chris Henry yell at coaches on that sideline….
PW should just start calling his own shit in the huddle and give a big FU to the staff… they can only call 6 timeouts a game to stop him! and heaven save them if they pull a healthy Pat White outta a game for “insubordination”

WBGV, I hear your pain regarding the need for a new offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.
We here in Columbus have a deal for you. One man can do it all, and his name is Jim Bollman. He can be found right here in Columbus. We would LOVE to see you spirit him away with promises of corn liquor and a new double-wide.
Value added bonus: by hiring one guy to do both jobs, you can save money for replacement couches, assuming you ever win another game.
