MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – It’s no secret that the back end of West Virginia’s defense is largely lacking in experience.
There’s a pair of seniors starting at cornerback, but after that things start getting dicey. Josh Norwood is a senior, but playing a new position after moving from corner to safety when Kenny Robinson and Derrek Pitts left the program in the offseason. Sean Mahone is also a former corner who has primarily played special teams his first two seasons.
As for the second-stringers?
“We’re running a daycare with the twos,” said defensive coordinator Vic Koenning.
