Show Notes:

INTRO:

  • WVU loses to Maryland 30-24 this past Saturday at Byrd Stadium in College Park.

Segment 1: WVU vs Maryland, Loss, 30-24

First Half

  • White pants felt like a miss to go traditional on traditional uniforms for this game.
  • Maryland getting yards in chunks early.
  • Good stop early against running plays. Surprised that they aren't throwing every play, but we'll take it.
  • These WVU coaches shirts with the gold ram horns around the shoulders look absurd...
  • Rave reviews for Doege by ESPN, including an in depth talk about him only having 9% body fat.
  • Screens 'R Us, early. Verticals look like they're going to be a rarity.
  • Leddie is the YAC King, and he tip toes down the sideline for a touchdown.
  • Liking the jet sweep with Wright. I’d be ok calling on that a few more times.
  • Tagovailoa with a beautiful over the top pass for a long touchdown and our collective anxiety about this pass defense has manifested itself.
  • Doege hasn't kept the ball on the RPO in 3 seasons. Why do we still do that? No one is fooled. Ever.
  • Why haven’t the announcers mentioned that the Maryland QB is related to Tua yet?
  • Leddie’s the best player, so let’s make sure we pass on three straight plays...followed by a third and 23 inside handoff.
  • Fleet or Fleak Davis is a problem.
  • Messador all over the place.
  • If you’re only going to rush 3 how about WRs aren’t wide open.
  • Winston Wright's returns were a huge bright spot in this game.
  • Timeouts out of a dead ball are fun!
  • Let’s kick it OOB...
    • When those kickoffs don’t go OOB they’re short.
  • Wildcat is the dumbest thing ever...
  • Down 10 to up 4 is solid, so let's throw an interception.
  • Our entire offensive operation is bad right now.
  • Halftime: WVU 21 - Maryland 20.
  • Should at least be 24-17, WVU. Defense has to be exhausted.

Second Half

  • Every throw is behind and off his back foot.
  • Sumpter with a 30 yard punt.
  • Scoot: "Did I take a nap at halftime and wake up with 9:49 left in the 3rd quarter or not?"
  • Wright relieved of his punt return duties after the fumble.
  • Doege acts like he’s never played QB before.
  • Pass blocking isn’t great but he’s in a constant panic for some reason.
  • Defense continues to hold, Too bad the O is in neutral.
  • Maryland has the college atmosphere of a cheese sandwich.
  • Fumble and Leddie shaken up.
  • Everyone is frustrated by QB1.
  • Wonder how Austin Kendall is doing with La Tech...? Oh, just running for a 60 yard touchdown against Mississippi State.
  • This field goal to make it Maryland 23 - WVU 21 feels like it could be it with our offense.
  • Wait, we're driving...until another interception. This one in the end zone.
    • Which leads to one final Maryland touchdown.
  • Our offense looks like Winston Wright’s return game and then Leddie Brown. That’s about it.
  • Also, this O line is sort of a lot of hype about nothing. MD has been beating them up most of the day.
  • Legg looking iffy on field goals, but WVU cuts the score to Maryland 30 - WVU 24.
  • Mike Locksley looks a lot bigger than I remember him. Lot of circumference.
  • Doege, the only change Scoot can see is in his facial hair.
  • Final: Maryland 30 - WVU 24.
  • Winston Wright sets two records for kick returns Saturday.
  • I agree with a lot of this tweet.
