Worries at WVU

To say that I am now worried about this week’s matchup between WVU and UConn is an understatement. With Brown hurt WVU has to rely on true freshman quarter back Eugine (Gino) Smith. While he did look pretty good finishing up the game against Marshall…he is still a true freshman.

Now what I want to see is… is Coley White possibly the second coming of Pat White? WVU fans can only hope he is just as magical

Pat White goes out a winner

It was the way it had to end for who could be considered college football’s greatest winner. In his last game as a Mountaineer Pat White did something he had never done before.. Throw for over 300 yards and 3 touch downs. The man who everyone considered suspect when it came to throwing the ball was zipping lasers to over 7 different receivers. How better way to end such a stories career than with such a different win.

I can only hope the rumors I have been hearing are true. If anyone deserves to have their number retired and enshrined in Mountaineer lore it’s number 5

Now let’s hope the NFL recognizes the talent and skill.

It looks like folks we be over at the manor for the game. I am mildly concerned about this game because it’s more or less a home game for UNC. People underestimate however just how well WVU travels – I fully expect a hoard of ‘eers fans to make their presence felt.

I think the WVU offense will come alive for this game – while this isn’t a BCS game it’s Pat White’s last game for WVU – the man has become the face of the program and it’s a very mutual thing – he has the Mountaineer tattooed on his right arm.

Who out there can’t wait for him to bring the ball down, juke the defenders out of their shoes and glide for a couple TDs?
