Infatuated with punt-unit problems? Holgorsen has the cure-all

COMMENTARY

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia’s Dana Holgorsen dislikes media members stepping on the WV logo inside the weight room almost as much as he dislikes watching his players commit punt-team blunders.

He comically addressed both issues Monday, the opening day of preseason camp.

“Stay off the logo!” he hollered perhaps a nano-second before the wandering tennis shoes of a cameraman breached sacred ground. When I suggested using orange cones to protect the area, Holgorsen joked, “We normally do that whenever we have foreign objects in here.”

His categorization of the media as “foreign objects” is hardly the worst thing we’ve been called, and when it comes to catching foreign objects, few have been worse than West Virginia’s punt returners.
