West Virginia’s 2019 football season won’t be written in the stars

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – With no obvious meal ticket on this year’s roster, West Virginia knows it has to take a lunch-pail approach to the upcoming season.

Five key Mountaineers from last year’s team were drafted. Another, wide receiver David Sills, is a strong bet to make it on Buffalo’s roster as an undrafted free agent. All-conference safety Kenny Robinson is off the team, lingering in the NCAA transfer portal.

For the casual college football fan that had reason to catch a West Virginia game for a chance to see a Heisman candidate and three stud receivers last year, these Mountaineers probably won’t have much to offer.
