MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia defensive coordinator Vic Koenning, in the care-free demeanor he’s shown since he arrived in Morgantown in January after following Neal Brown from Troy, sensed his defense was going to get better after a rough first quarter Saturday against James Madison.
But like any coach, he wasn’t just looking at the end result — he wanted to study the whole picture. What that entailed were missed assignments and blown containments, but also improvements on pressure and in coverage as the game progressed.
“Those guys got a good team, I’d be shocked if they lost another game all season,” Koenning said.
