Those 'kids' stepped into real man life the moment they accepted a full ride to one of the most storied football programs of all time. There was no heart and no effort on defense yesterday. They have NOT improved.

I’ve held my tongue since the ending of our game yesterday, but I can’t do that anymore after seeing what alot of people are saying this morning. Shame on all of you who are saying we are an FCs team and we have no talent and we suck. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. We played the best passing attack in the nation and we started 3 freshman on defense. What did you all expect. IMO WVU has a legitimate shot at winning 10+ games this year, their passing attack and offensive line are extremly
Talented and they block well for Grier. Hell, will Grier makes NFL throws like it’s second nature to him. As far as the VOLS , I thought we lacked an identity in offense. I think T. Helton should of stuck with the I formation lead blocker runs, because it was workiin. But he didn’t and that made me scratch my head. My hope is that we use that a lot more go My forward because Tim Jordan is a game changer when he has a lead blocker in front of him. Offensive line was shaky but they got better as the game went on. I do think their much better than what they showed yesterday though. I think our wide receivers are gonna be ok this year, on 3rd downs they came up
Big for us and I think that’s a sign of good things to come. JG- I thought he played within the game plan, and he did it pretty well actually. He was extremly accurate and decisive, and he continues to show toughness after taking big hits. He took care of the football as well and that’s the biggest takeaway I got from his performance.

Defensive line- we’ve got to find players who can get to the qb, the guys were getting a push everytime almost but they had trouble getting off their blocks so that’s something they need to work on as well. Depth is another issue we need to iron out in the next two games before Florida game. My hope is that Harris, Emerson, and Gooden can make big strides the next few weeks cause we’re gonna need them to win in the sec. overall- Out defensive line just needs to find the nastiness inside of themselves and coach needs to find a way to get that to show on the field.

Linebackers- I thought our LB’s did some good things but they were a step late on several plays as well. As for Taylor and Kongbo, they have to get involved in the game or just let J. Allen and Peterson try their hand at it, because our OLb’s were pitiful yesterday. If Peterson can play then I think we see him early this year, Pruitt needs a spark in the pass rushing game, hopefully Peterson can be that guy. DK jr played pretty well but his rust did show at times but that is understandable. I feel good about DK, DB, and QS though going forward. My hope is that they can start to be leaders on the defense because we need an alpha dog to step up and lead our defense.

Secondary- honestly, this is probably a bad game to judge our DB’s on, at least out
Young guys. I wasn’t pleased with Buchanan in the least bit though, he needs to be better. As a whole, our secondary needs to work on tackling. We have to be able to tackle in space if we’re gonna be a decent team this year. Flowers, Taylor, and Thompson haven’t figured out how to get their head around on passes yet so that’s something they need to work on, I think they did a good job of staying in position on d but they need to learn how to use their hands to keep guys from creating separation against them. Overall- I think week in and week out these young cbs get better. Come Florida game we should see a massive difference in the secondary.


Overall- Stop throwing in the towel fans. This team deserves our support. To all of you who are mad and saying negative things -stfu, your not a player so you have no idea how bad these young men want to win, and your not the one putting in work day in and day out for 9 months straight so dont bash these young men. WVU is a good team and they honestly could win 10 or 11 games this year if Grier stays healthy. If marquis Osborne doesn’t have a stupid offsides penalty then this game could of possible been 33-21 or 33-17 depending on if we get a score after that missed field goal. If that game ends 33-21 then the narrative is complete different. And for all of you who say this team is no better than last year, you are a fool and you know nothing about football. This team is better in 100 different ways from last years team, it’s one game and we have 11 more to go. When adversity hits you see the true content of someone’s character, a large amount of you on here who talk bad about UT are weenies who Lack character. Grow up and realize rome wasn’t built in a day. The VOLS will be fine, and for all you fair weather fans. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out cause we don’t need you as fans.

nice post. I just wonder how many of these so called fans have children who play sports or have played sports. Did they criticize them like this after a loss. These 80 or so young men need our support and so does this coaching staff. If at the end of the year things aren't improved then criticize this staff.

Nobody’s ok with losing that game yesterday. Where I take offense is when folks get on here and bash the absolute sh$@ out of
these kids after one game. If you weren’t making bold declarations About the team or certain players in extremly negative ways then the post doesn’t apply to you. There are some things you just don’t say and some people crossed that line frequently yesterday and this morning and that’s the whole issue. These kids and coaches and their families are putting in a lot of working and making sacrifices that most of us never see or hear about. Just show a teaspoon of respect for them that is all I’m saying man. No need to degrade them in the manner some did.

I do see you joined this forum this past July. I don't know if you've had any previous exposure to VN or not but just like the UT players you'll catch on or should. Basically what I'm saying after the last 10 yrs. if not longer it's a merry-go-round, up and down rolle-coaster ride and your long drawn out statement is just a replay that many of us have seen too many times. Keep plugging away bro!

These aren't little children playing sports with parent volunteers. They are young men, old enough to vote and fight for our country. They are coaches being paid millions of dollars.

If we are worried about what they read on a message board or hear on the radio, then we really don't have a chance.

The only people who need to stop complaining are the ones who actually thought 8 wins was possible and thought the game yesterday would be close and thougt after the dumpster fire coaching search we would end up with a top coach right out of the gate. If you're simply tired of 10 years of garbage, go ahead and vent. Dont waste money on games.

Stupid post, we didn’t start rebuilding “Rome” this past offseason. We have been trying to rebuild it for 12 seasons now. At what point does the rebuilding stop?

All us “ fair weather fans” upset with the 10+ yrs of fair weather football regardless who the coach is. Passionate fans hate constant suckage and losing. And have just as much right as the sheep to voice their observations.

You so called “sheep” and “pumpers” fed us your same sheepish lines during the last decade so whatever you say now.....it’s irrelevant and unnecessary imo.

No that is the Administration's fault going back to Hamilton. We the fans have done our part, we have spent the money shown the support, really have we only revolted once. That was to stop a person of questionable character from being hired. What happens in three years who knows but from what I have seen it isnt looking like anything overly special is coming. The only bright spot I saw from anything in recent years was an offensive coaching adjustment. Running game sure but John Kelly was fine there last year and Kamara before and Hurd before. For $20,000,000 color me unimpressed
