FORT WORTH, Texas — The calendar says it is still 2019, but in order to realistically ascribe any meaning to West Virginia’s season finale, one must look forward to next year.
The Mountaineers (4-7, 2-6 Big 12) have no chance of making a bowl game, so the message is that finishing with a win will send the young team into the offseason with improved odds of making sure the team isn’t in the same position a year from now.
“We need to finish this on a positive note and send our seniors out on a positive note feeling good about what they’ve done,” said first-year West Virginia coach Neal Brown.
