## Resource

West Virginia received devastating news on Darius Wiley—and Rich Rodriguez made a shocking admission that completely changes how we should view WVU’s second-half collapse against Coastal Carolina. Rich revealed that the Mountaineers went from using approximately 20 different plays in the first half to only eight in the second—and admitted that his own frustration contributed to WVU becoming overly conservative. Mountaineer Paul explains why West Virginia nearly coached itself into disaster, who could replace Wiley, why Amari Latimer needs more carries and what Rich’s answers mean for Michael Hawkins, the offensive line and the struggling defense. Plus, could Georgia transfer JaCorey Thomas become a plug-and-play starter before WVU faces Virginia? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
