There’s a difference between being good enough to compete and being disciplined enough to win.
With just three games remaining in the regular season, West Virginia’s football team continues to live somewhere between those two realities.
Saturday’s gut-wrenching loss at No. 15 Texas Tech provided another example. The Mountaineers proved they could trade punches with a nationally ranked opponent in front of a sold-out crowd in Lubbock. But they also demonstrated how quickly self-inflicted mistakes can undermine an otherwise winning effort.
In this episode, the “Guys” dissect the loss to the Red Raiders, examine the plays and decisions that shaped the result, and consider what the final three games might reveal about the direction of the program.
The conversation also turns to a productive weekend elsewhere in Mountaineer athletics, with basketball, soccer and volleyball providing plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Hoppy Kercheval delivers his Obvious Observations, while Brad Howe examines the numbers behind the headlines with Spreads on Stats.
Listener questions and comments complete the episode with Textual Healing.
