It'll be interesting to see what Helton does tomorrow. I'm guessing he would like to be more conservative the first game and let the QBs build some confidence with a short passing and running game. Or if he's feeling lucky or daring, he could test WVU's inexperienced corners right away and put them on notice. Don't really see Pruitt as much of a riverboat gambler, but ya never know.

For some reason, I'm thinking we take a shot downfield on first play. Then again, it could be Austin Pope on a fullback dive for all I know.

Well I think the non-trust in the QB’s will accentuate the short passes, not eliminate them.

As much as we would like to run the ball it’s not just going to work without a semblance of a passing threat. Which is why I bet our entire offense will be some pattern of run up the middle/play action screen/run up the middle/play action curl.

Nobody said anything about eliminating short passes or not having a semblance of a passing threat. I simply commented that I think Helton would like to have a higher pass/run ratio than he will in the first game.

So why can we post about West Virginia's schedule and the scrubs they beat last year but we can't mention how terrible Tennessee was last year? That's hypocritical and homerism at its finest. We want to talk about how West Virginia really isn't that good, and use their schedule last year as an arguing point, but then we don't want to reference how bad Tennessee was last year because, well, yeah, you know, that was last year.

I hope someone emerges. Special Teams looked ROUGH during the spring. I’m probably more concerned about who will be kicking our PATs and FGs than anything else though.

We didn’t know what we had in Trevor until he punted in the first game. Posters were wondering how long before Thompson took over.

This will date me but I think it was Art Shell of the Raiders(OL-tackle I think) use to put cast on his forearms slip a pad over them and club
the heck out of D linemen. Football was different back then and I loved the Raiders as a kid. 00 Jim Otto center was one of my favorite!!

Because not only did they keep their entire coaching staff together, but they're bragging about the continuity of the staff... the staff that coached their crap defense to give up 300 yards on the ground to Kansas in their 4th game of the year.

We replaced our camp counselors with teachers and doers.

We're looking to improve, they're looking to ... stay the same?
