Football

• Final points from West Virginia  
  • Offense
    • Play calling and execution on final drive was so good
    • Cumbie’s goal line offense is beautiful
    • Liking how Donovan Smith is getting involved – can’t wait for the PA BOMB
    • Running 5 skill players in motion
    • Hello Freshman Jerrand Bradley, 2 catches for 18 & 12 yds
  • Defense
    • Limited big play
    • Played well enough without injured
    • WVU scored their first 2 second half TDs of the year (against FBS opponents)
    • Lack of a pass rush may have won you the game on the final play
  • Special Teams
    • Didn’t let Weston Wright get loose on a return
    • Executed a squib kick – forced Wright to make a decision on last kickoff
    • Lined up and kicked a FG with no timeouts in 13 seconds to end the first half (previous play ended at 0:16, kick was up at 0:03)
    • Fair catch every kickoff
  • Overall, Brown was outcoached
    • Probably overplayed L. Brown – looked gassed at the end
    • Burned a timeout on their opening drive second half after subbing in Green only to put Doege back in – could’ve used that TO later
    • Only 2 penalties all game – false start and facemask
    • Wright “downing” a squib kick
    • Doege not spiking the ball with 8-9 seconds left only to throw it out of bounds
    • Wells managed the clock at the end of each half almost perfectly
