MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Neal Brown revisited the decisive moments of last Thursday’s 17-14 loss to No. 11 Baylor during Monday’s Big 12 coaches teleconference.
West Virginia had a golden opportunity to take the lead or tie the Bears after George Campbell recovered a muffed punt in Baylor territory. After back-to-back Leddie Brown runs provided the Mountaineers with a favorable third-and-2 situation from Baylor’s 26, Neal Brown decided to go for it all.
The coach elected to throw the ball deep, but Austin Kendall’s pass was into double coverage and came closer to getting intercepted than completed.
