Having watched WVA for the last few seasons, I am becoming a huge believer in Rich Rodriguez. I have always known he was a decent coach, but I always figured that defenses would catch on and eventually slow these guys down.

Of course he has some special athletes right now, but even still, it looks like the WVA train will not be derailed anytime soon. I am beginning to have fewer doubts about what an RR offense could actually acomplish in the SEC.

Are you relieved that he backed out of his deal with Bammer?

Take a good look at our run D Vader. What do you think WVA could do to our beloved Vols this year?

without white and slaton WVU would be a 5 win team, they make that offense go and we all know they can't play d worth anything. Their depth is also horrible. I think if they played 9 confernece games in a real conference rather than 7 they couldn't compete. devine did look good though did anyone else notice he got caught from behind twice? against maryland? I thought he had elite speed?

He's a poet, he's a picker
He's a prophet, he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.

Yes, their players now are special, but after two years, and a third this year, it seems like this is not just lightening in a bottle. RR can coach some football.

He can certainly put an offense together. Defense? Not too great.

That has more to do with athletes and less to do with scheme.

Considering he is in Morgantown, I think he has proven an ability to recruit.
