COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A handful of questions as No. 13 West Virginia (8-2, 6-2) hosts No. 6 Oklahoma (10-1, 7-1) in the Black Friday regular-season finale:
Is this a defining moment for Dana Holgorsen?
He claims “this ain’t a do-or-die situation for me or this program.” In reality, that’s precisely what it is.
We’re at the tail end of Year 7 for West Virginia in the Big 12, and Holgorsen’s program has finished higher than fifth only once. After such an extended run of mediocrity, the fans expected Will Grier and a loaded offense to carry this year’s team to the Big 12 championship game.
