his gameplan against WV was AWFUL. It was Cooper-esque. I'm not a football expert, but it looked like we were playing staright up zone coverage against a spread option team, with a 3-3-5 defense, which meant we were rushing three guys in the first quarter. It looked like we went back to a 4-3 and we did pretty well against them from the second quarter on defensively.
Yeah, we got a bad break at the beginning of the game, but I also think that we allowed them to dictate what we were doing on defense too much.
In hindsight, it probably helped us when the Egg Bowl came around, because no one runs that offense better than WV and Appalachain State, and I really think O installed that offense in part because he thought that we would struggle with it.</p>
