Monday Morning Quarterback: WVU鈥坈oasts vs. Wildcats

The last four seasons鈥� battles between WVU and Kansas State have been nailbiters decided in the final minutes. But this time the Mountaineers totally dominated the Wildcats in coasting to a 35-6 victory. After having an off week following the weather cancellation of the game at North Carolina State, the West Virginia offense had to shake off some rust as evident by two turnovers in Kansas State territory on its first two possessions. But on the third possession, Will Grier hit Marcus Simms in stride for an 82 yard touchdown and WVU remained in control thereafter. The Wildcats ...

Big Red Madi Mace鈥檚 other sport

Being a professional, preparation is my key when requests are made for my contribution on a project. About a month ago, my writer friend Sean McNamara requested help with a PHS/Morgantown football preview on his new radio show.

Performance by teams in a league in the nonconference portion of the schedule becomes very ...

COLUMN: An Xs and Os rain delay in Spencer

As soon as the first lighting bolt forked across the sky Friday night at Roane County鈥檚 County Stadium I thought, 鈥淥h boy ... This game could take a while.鈥� As an already steady rain became stronger by the minute and thunder boomed overhead late in the first quarter, the chances steadily increased of a shrill whistle signaling a storm delay. Sure enough the ultimately deadline-shattering wail rang out at the 7:33 mark of the second quarter, with the host Raiders up on St. Marys 14-3. Roane cruelly waiting longer to snap a 13-game losing streak 28-17. Players, coaches, fans ...

Monday Morning Quarterback: Rain no problem for WVU

It was a rainy afternoon for the home opener at Mountaineer Field but after a slow start West Virginia cruised to a 52-17 victory over Youngstown State. Recognizing its secondary would be overmatched against the WVU passing attack, the Penguins basically dropped seven into coverage and invited the Mountaineers to run the football. West Virginia successfully did so, accruing 289 rushing yards on the afternoon. But even with the coverage approach by the opposition, quarterback Will Grier still completed 21 of 26 passes for 332 yards and four touchdowns, three of those to Gary ...
