That sound you hear is the West Virginia hype train derailing and careening off a cliff. The Mountaineers couldn't make it happen in the showdown with the Oklahoma Sooners.
The West Virginia Mountaineers entered the Mountaineer Minefield and promptly blew themselves up, in large part to a poor performance by Mountaineer quarterback Skyler Howard. We saw the return of "Bad Case Of Nerves" Skyler and it hurt us dearly. Howard went 17/32 for only 173 yards. But much worse than Howard throwing nearly every pass too high is the fact that he showed no pocket awareness.
