Latest from WVU

I’ll make a bold prediction that media will talk about coaching search and how WV lost the game or Tn is terrible and has no players that would play on Alabama’s roster.

No idea how our game against WVU will go, but they’re probably just about an 8 win team this year. Zero depth and will wear down as the season goes on.

Thanks for the update!! Hopefully our team will be able to make it to halftime!

LOL....Just make sure you come back here and take your medicine after the game.

West Virginia fans have a long history of setting things on fire -- couches and chairs are the most frequent victims.
The Morgantown City Council's latest effort to stop the tradition was passed unanimously Tuesday, banning outdoor upholstered furniture in the college town.
In 2005, fire officials ordered all "upholstered furniture, debris and flammable objects" to be removed from city porches in student neighborhoods. Couch burning became a felony in Morgantown in 2011, but students have continued to set items of furniture ablaze after big Mountaineer victories. In 2012, the school made a PSA urging students to stop burning couches.
That didn't work either.wvu.jpg

Defense:

Defensive line a strength. No real concerns. WVU believes its DL is night and day from last year.

At LB the first four, lead by David Long and Dylan Tonkery, are exceptional. Not much experience after the top four of Long, Tonkery, Benton and Hensley. WVU will be in trouble if one of the top four goes down.

The Spur (Dravon Askew-Henry), Bandit (Toyous Avery) and FS (Kenny Robinson) are solid to exceptional.

LCB Hakeem Bailey has had a good fall camp battling against one of the best group of WRs in the country, but Bailey has always been a practice superstar who only started to show his talent in games late last year.

RCB Derrek Pitts has the skills and attitude to be a shutdown CB but he's up and down as r-frosh starting for the fist time will be. Pitts is a big hitter with good speed.

Offense:

OL is a strength of the team and one of the best in the country. They've had a few titanic battles with the DL.

The WR group truly is one of, if not the best in the country. Dana describes Alabama transfer TJ Simmons as "pro" with the ability to "go get the football". Frosh Sam Jones has shown blazing speed. Marcus Simms has had a great fall camp and has Grier's full trust going into the season. And there's always David Sills and Gary Jennings...

The breakout has been TE Javoni Haskins. Haskins has shown incredible hands and has the speed and size to take advantage of LB coverage. If Haskins has a weakness its blocking. If he's in the game then he's likely a target or a decoy.

The RBs have been somewhat disappointing with 4* frosh Leddie Brown being the only true standout. Brown, 6'1", 190, will not start but he might just get the bulk of the carries.

Dana and DC Tony Gibson have done nothing to curtail expectations. As a matter of fact both have been downright cocky.

Its a safe bet that WVU will use a three WR set with TE Trevon Wesco in as h-back for max protect to start the game. They expect Tennessee to blitz early and often and exploit the matchups that result.

Expect Grier to take a few shots deep early especially if Sills has double coverage and Simms or Simmons are one-on-one.

If Pruitt and the Vols see this, I'm sure they will just for go playing the game and throw In the towel, God have mercy on dem ol Vowels

You'll have to pardon me Mule, you just scared the living shatt right out my butt, I must relieve myself immediately.

I pray coach Pruitt and Co don't see your post, they may just forgo playing the game and go take a dump as well.

Usually when a teams has the best QB,OL,WR,RB and offense in the country ,they are not usually ranked #17 as a team. The more I hear from this fan the more I think Tn wins. I understand bragging on your team but this fan is taking it to a new level. Instead of trying to convince our fan base that WV is the best in the history of football , they might need to convince themselves first.

I wouldn't throw too many stones at them for that, our D sucked last year too.

Could their D improve? Yes, definitely.

But so can ours. And the reasons I feel like we have more room for improvement are these..

1. Better defensive coaches.
2. More talented players with a higher ceiling.
3. Better defensive planning.
4. Better in game adjustments.

We expect a little BS but not this much. If you don't play well this season and lose a few games Butch Jones is available to coach.

Okay mule, sounds like you all have the up and coming National Champions. lol

Here's the way I see it, does WVU have some talent? Absolutely, but keep in mind, our VOLS don't have an empty tool shed either. Our LBs and D line will be remarkable this season, especially with a solid coach. We have RBs than can possibly run with any team in the nation, along with solid veteran WRs. Our main question on offense is QB, and we still don't know anything about that, but if the O-line plays well, that can make a mediocre QB look good.

All in all, this will be a great game. I do feel the VOLS will win this in a nail-biter due to the QB situation and new coaches on a neutral field. My prediction: VOLS 30 - WVU 27

Can you imagine this guy's take if they were actually any good ?

Like what if they actually had a legitimate Top10 team for the first time in their history. I'd pay to read his position breakdown on that.

Please, please tell me he's white.

Can't wait to see Trey Smith work up to the second level to meet Dylan "Honky" Tonkery!!
