WVU coaches, players share the blame
As my post-game analysis, I respectfully submit my column in today’s DA, written after wrapping up this blog and after that disaster of a football game. Apparently nothing can go right lately, so that link cuts off the last few paragraphs of the column, so I’ll present it here so the thing actually makes sense.
While everyone will look to one person or one reason to point a clear finger at for these early struggles, it just isn’t that simple.
Part of the problem is the new coaching staff.
Part of it is the loss of last year’s key players.
And another part falls on this year’s players and an inability to execute the fundamentals at critical times.
As former coach Rich Rodriguez often reminded us, the children’s movie “The Lion King” teaches us that what’s in the past no longer matters.
That’s one lesson this year’s team would be well-served to learn if it hopes to find its stride quickly enough to even be competitive in a weak Big East Conference.

1:28 p.m. — As the noon kickoffs reach halftime, there are surely some raised eyebrows among college football fans around the country.
Ohio U. takes that 7-6 lead over Ohio State into the locker room in Columbus.
Wisconsin scores a late touchdown to take a 17-14 lead over Marshall into the locker room. It’s been 17 unanswered for the Badgers to end the half after the Herd jumped out to a two touchdown lead.
Auburn is only up 7-0 on Southern Miss around halfway through the second quarter.
It appears a lot of these “big name” teams have come into their games today a little listless. Tough tasks remain for any team hoping to pull a big early-season upset, however.
An update on the defending Big East co-champions: Mighty Temple has a 6-0 lead on Connecticut at the half.
