West Virginia's defense performed about as well as could be expected in 2019 considering it was their first year in a new scheme. The per game stats weren't particularly great due to some down-to-down inconsistency and the fact that we were often playing from behind last year (read: they were on the field a lot, often in less-than-idealn situations), but if you dig into the per play and situational stats you'll find that we actually had a pretty good group out there and were especially stingy against the run. The anchor of that unit was undoubtedly our defensive front, led by the Stills brothers and team captain Reese Donahue.
