Show Notes:

INTRO:

• WVU loses by another field goal margin to Texas Tech, 23-20

Segment 1:

1st Half

• Daryll Talley's number 90 officially retired pre-game!
• Tech moving the ball pretty easy.
• Thankfully, they try a dumb trick play, Mahone with the interception.
  • The offense promptly wastes this turnover, punt.
• TT marching again a little too easily and score their first td.
• Gmiter gets beat on the next possession, strip sack of Doege, Tech ball.
  • Hard to blame this one on Doege. He had no idea that guy was closing in on him.
• Tech seems to just be executing a good game plan on O and on D they aren’t asked to do too much except guard 5 yards from the line of scrimmage to each side.
• It's early, but this game has the feel of spelling the end of climb trusting across the board...
• Oh look. First downs. With Greene in the game. Interesting.
• Anyone know if TT is missing any key players? ESPN loves a talking point. They only need one to run with.
  • Greene stole home in high school?
• Frazier with an untimely false start penalty.
• Brown visibly frustrated with Greene in the camera shot to commercial after the series turned over on downs, which is odd since we never see that from him with Doege.
  • At least we got a few first downs?
• Defense can’t stop anything here...
• We feel like Brown needs an intervention on his use of Doege...
• Rushing 3 and then still giving up chunks.
• This is bad football.
• 17-0. This is embarrassing.
  • The longest first half play was a Greene scramble for 16 yards...
  • One of the worst halves of football we can remember.

2nd Half

• Jay Jacobs recognized at halftime with a lifetime service award.
• Defense needs to defense.
• Whole team looks unprepared, really.
• Lots of patting yourself on the back since Norman?
• Wasted a timeout, but scored. Yay? Crowd boos prior.
  • What was the whole run Greene in make him stand there call a timeout thing?
  • Why would he not already have the play...?
• O line getting eaten alive here.
• Suddenly...we know how to pass down field...honestly can’t believe it.
• Then a td pass to Esdale where I cannot believe the pass was there and I cannot believe he was able to hold on after taking a massive hit.
  • Who lit a fire under Doege?
  • Two passes that I didn’t think were possible.
• Camera crew struggling.
• Also struggling: Nester and the O line.
• Timeouts always a challenge aren’t they...
  • It's a consistent theme...
  • No one understands why it keeps happening...
• This team is a mess. I am frustrated with the mess. I don’t see them doing anything to clean up the mess!
• Doege missed Wright early and Leddie late. Like, at least just pick one, but not both.
  • Such a huge missed opportunity.
• I hate football...
• Completed pass to Edsale, small chance. Instead of killing it and getting a new play in you snap and stand and let 0:08 run off the clock?!
  • And after all that...the choice is to pass it out of bounds...
• An all around disaster, horrible loss.
• Texas Tech sings "Country Roads" in the visitors locker room.

Post-game:

• HCNB:
  • "Doege played well."
  • "2nd timeout was on me."
  • "Pissed at how we played in the 1st half. Not Good enough."
  • TT "Had better energy than ours."
  • "If people wanna get pissed with me, that's fine, but that kid (Doege) he played well in the 2nd half."
  • Taking a knee on kick off was the correct play.

"Tweets that moved us" post-game:

• Same old stuff, only now we're also boring to watch.
• WVU has now lost 3 years in a row to Texas Tech (?!)
  • Matt Wells has 12 wins at Texas Tech. Three of them are against Neal Brown...
• It's like the worst case scenario.

Trapezoid of Evil Update

• Pitt beat Georgia Tech to move to 4-1.
• Virginia Tech was off, so no one had to be subjected to that.
• Maryland got completely housed by Iowa, 51-14, for their first loss.
• Penn State blanked Indiana to move to 5-0.
