The West Virginia football team head to the offseason with three important storylines for fans to follow and here’s a breakdown.
The past season for the West Virginia football team was as hard to watch as it was uninspiring. The Mountaineers went 6-6 in the regular season and lost 18-6 in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl to a completely okay Minnesota Golden Gophers team. Head Coach Neal Brown has now posted just one winning season and has an overall record of 17-18 in his three years with the team.
I suppose no one said “the climb” would be easy, but at some point, Brown and the Mountaineers need to start showing some promise. Gone are the days of the Mountaineer’s explosive air raid offense, as the team has only mustered to score a whopping 24.1 points per game under Brown.
Something needs to change. The athletes, the fans, and the state of West Virginia deserve better.
And where better to build hope for the program than in the off-season, where we can talk ourselves into 2022 being the year Brown finally turns it all around and West Virginia football begins to cement itself as a real and competitive force to be reckoned with in the world of college football. Or at least the Big 12. I mean what else do we have, right?
That’s why instead of being dedicated to the woes and utter pain of the past three seasons under Brown, this blog will be about the top three storylines of the offseason.
It’ll be a way for us Mountaineers to hope for the coming season to turn out all right. But who knows, life as a West Virginia football fan is a flat circle of heartbreak. Maybe this year will be okay.
