West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson seems far less worried about facing the nation’s top offense this weekend than most defensive coordinators would be. And for good reason. Since taking over as the Mountaineers’ DC in 2014, Gibson has had more success against the Kliff Kingsbury “Air Raid” than almost any of his colleagues.
In the past four meetings between the Mountaineers and the Red Raiders (all WVU victories), Gibson’s defenses have allowed on average just 28 points per game, ten points below what Texas Tech has averaged overall in that span. And Tuesday, Gibson gave DKPittsburghSports.
