WVU notebook: Mountaineers far from game-ready in first scrimmage

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – With three weeks remaining before West Virginia’s season opener, Neal Brown sounds like someone who is happy to have every minute available to him to practice.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Brown said following WVU’s first preseason scrimmage. “The good news is we have plenty of time to get there.”

When the Mountaineers are at their best, Brown sees a team that can compete with anyone on a very challenging 2019 schedule. But when they aren’t sharp, it sounds like the opposite is true – any game is loseable.
