MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia allows the second-fewest sacks in the Big 12, testament to its offensive staff placing an offseason emphasis on improving pass protection.
So how worrisome was TCU sacking Skyler Howard five times Saturday?
After winning comfortably 34-10 to remain unbeaten, coach Dana Holgorsen sounded mildly alarmed: “I will be the first to admit we were pretty average on offense last week. TCU probably had something to do with that.”
Indeed, the Frogs defense tops the conference at 3.86 sacks per game, meaning West Virginia may not encounter a better pass rush all season.
