LIVE BLOG: WVU-Colorado
11:56 p.m. – Aric Goodman boots the game-winning field goal to complete a stunner. This one has to be even more difficult to swallow than the East Carolina loss. 17-14, Buffaloes, in overtime.
It will be interesting to hear what the team has to say again this week in post-game.

Keys to the Game: WVU-Villanova
“Keys to the Game” typically are used to describe what needs to happen for each team to win. While the outcome of this game shouldn’t be in doubt, West Virginia will have a few secondary goals beyond winning the game. Villanova will be looking to make the game as competitive as possible for as long as possible.
West Virginia:
Put the game out of reach early.
This is of particular importance to the Mountaineers in this game on multiple fronts. Of course, they want to squash any hope Villanova has of actually trying to win the game. But more importantly, the team needs a solid early performance on both sides of the ball just for confidence’s sake.
The team has struggled on offense this fall, and the young players on defense have been hearing about their inexperience for the better part of a month now. Jumping out on the Wildcats with a few early scores and quick defensive stops would do wonders for a team that will need to carve out its own identity under the new coaching staff.
From a schematic standpoint, this will be important for different reasons. If WVU pulls away early, they can put in the backups and let them get some valuable experience in a game. Furthermore, offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen could go to a very “vanilla” playbook to avoid showing East Carolina any more of the modified offense than they have to.
