MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The sun still rose over the West Virginia football facility Monday morning.
Though West Virginia’s 45-41 loss at Oklahoma State was an undeniable setback, the primary goal Dana Holgorsen set for this season remains on the table. With a win over Oklahoma on Friday, the Mountaineers will be playing for a Big 12 championship in two weeks.
The only thing erased for the Mountaineers is a shot at the College Football Playoff, which was always more of an aspiration than a goal. West Virginia couldn’t control the chaos that needed to unfold in order to reach college football’s Final Four.
