Coach Brown: persistent lack of physicality displayed by offense

Coach Brown is an ER doctor feverishly trying to find a cure for an anemic offensive attack. The West Virginia Mountaineers offense is his patient and his patient is coding, on the gurney. Through the first two weeks of NCAA Division One College Football, the persistent lack of physicality and the inability to mount a running attack are starving the team of the oxygen necessary to survive. That’s my interpretation of what happened Saturday afternoon, in Columbia, Missouri. The Mountaineers hemorrhaged two turnovers in the first quarter and never recovered. Their SEC East opponent took only 3 minutes and 26 seconds to score ten points in the first quarter.
