A wild, wild Saturday at Trice, and they good guys found a way to win. It was the classic "make one more play than the other team" kind of win.
While nobody enjoys watching their defense get sliced and diced, it was a typical game for the WVU offense. That's what they do, and they do it to everyone. Your goal is to get as many points on the board as possible.
This point was made by others: this staff is quickly adjusting the offense to what they do well, regardless of the long-term offensive philosophy. We've watched other staffs stubbornly stick with "this is what we want to be" rather than "this is what is working today". Bravo. It's going to be fun watching the offensive evolve, and Raynor grow into his role.
The win was due to the work of one player: Aiden Flora. Post-game, we struggled to put that game into context with Cyclone football history. The stat line is ridiculous:
22 carries, 212 yards, 9.6 y/a, long of 63, 3 TDs AND 2/2 passing for 2 TDs.
It was a 1 of 1 day- no comparisons.
It came at the perfect time, and sent Cyclone fans home happy.
Now a tough roadie to BYU for a Friday game. On paper, BYU is on par with Utah, but hasn't looked the part. Here's hoping they remain in a funk.
