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.
  • ...and this seems like the main question to ask.
  • Do you just go ahead and use LIU to prep Greene?

Other WVU Football:

• It looks like BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF are the expansion candidates for a retooled Big 12 and could be invited this month.
  • Dana's likely fired at Houston before WVU plays them, but it's still interesting to think about.
  • Better than the ACC and / or Pac-12?

Other WVU:

• WVU Men's Soccer notches victories over nationally ranked Pitt and Penn State.
