MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Had anyone asked Neal Brown about a bowl game over the course of the past month, it likely would have evoked a response similar to former Indianapolis Colts coach Jim Mora’s legendary “playoffs?!?” rant.
Now it doesn’t seem quite as silly.
After upsetting Kansas State this weekend, West Virginia will make a bowl game if it wins its final two games against Oklahoma State and TCU. Though it’s not be a likelihood on paper, the Mountaineers are certainly motivated to close out strong.
“Think about it, we have a lot to play for,” said senior defensive end Reese Donahue.
