It is actually crazy what a difference a week can make. This time last week the sky was falling in the wake of a loss to Kansas and Mountaineer Nation (myself partially excluded) was kicking the tires on a coaching search for Neal Brown’s replacement. Now, with Kansas on an inexorable death march to Arlington and our team finally showing that they can play an (almost) clean game of football, the narrative has flipped and has the Old Gold and Blue riding high into Lane Stadium.
As for the Hokies, I didn’t come away from the WBP preseason deep dive thinking much of their football team and nothing I’ve seen out of them in the first three weeks has changed my opinion.
