The West Virginia Mountaineers defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies, 33-10, on Thursday night in Lane Stadium. The final score is as sad and depressing as indicated. No, the game wasn’t a blowout from the beginning, as the Hokies last led only a few minutes before halftime. Unfortunately, things unraveled from there.
The Mountaineers pulled away in the fourth quarter against a tired Virginia Tech defense. However, at one point, the Hokies were in control of this game and let it slip away. Realistically, though, the Hokies were never winning this game. Sure, some of us were optimistic — with hesitation — in our predictions, but we understood the offensive issues would doom the Hokies if WVU’s high-powered offense got going.
