COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When it was announced pregame that West Virginia starting guards Josh Sills and Mike Brown were both out of Saturday’s game against N.C. State, there likely wasn’t much confidence that this would be the week the Mountaineers’ offensive line was going to turn it around.
The most criticized unit during the first two games of the season, the big guys up front offensively struggled in almost every facet in the win Week 1 against James Madison and the Week 2 drubbing at the hands of Missouri. Pass protection wasn’t the main problem, though — it was the Mountaineers’ inability to do anything on the ground.
