Hard Work in Football

Hard work and college football have gone hand in hand from the days of Walter Camp and John Heisman all the way to the present. Teams one through 125 in this year’s FCS rankings are all going to work hard, but, naturally, some feel the need to work more than others.

For years, West Virginia has prided itself on outworking its opponents. There have been countless occasions when good, old-fashioned hard work and will-power have helped the Mountaineers prevail.

And, of course, there have been other instances when too much work has turned into a double-edged sword and harmed the team.
