COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Even 23 games and some 734 days later, the shame is readily rekindled.
Ask West Virginia players about their 37-0 beating in Baltimore and the embarrassment washes over them anew. Same goes for the coaches.
(“It’s not something I can hide from,” joked Dana Holgorsen, whose offensive genius card was temporarily renounced that day. “Worst effort I’ve seen by a West Virginia team,” said Ron Crook, who probably felt like crawling out of M&T Stadium straight back to Stanford.)
The Mountaineers may have dominated the series with Maryland the past nine years, but the single loss in 2013—lordy—was that ever the mother of all rock-bottoms.
