MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Even though Neal Brown’s team was only able to take the field twice in the spring before the pandemic shut down all college sports, their new practice setup for fall camp is making up for some of the lost time.
The Mountaineers are essentially operating in a ‘split-squad’ format with two completely separate units and therefore, half of the players in a traditional practice. Yet the coaches are pulling ‘double sessions’ by leading two separate workouts.
“I think we are doing more teaching now and evaluating how they do in regards to situational football mores than how they are doing in one-on-one matchups,” Brown said.
