That WVU team racked up over five hundred yards against last year's LSU defense


did you even watch that game?

WTF? Yes, I did. And I saw a WVU team that moved the ball on us very effectively using a controlled short passing game with precise route combinations and quick releases. The difference in the WVU game was special teams (Claiborne's TD return) and turnovers (e.g. two spectacular plays by Tyrann, among others), not a stifling defensive effort that generated three and outs. Without the turnovers and Claiborne's return, the outcome may have been very different.

Here is Tharold Simon specifically stating that UW plays a system similar to WVU's and that the Tiger defense must do a better job this season than last:

"We're taking this team just like West Virginia last year," said junior cornerback Tharold Simon. "We just have to approach the game better this year because I think we gave up 500-something yards last year and we don't want to do that again this year."
