HALFTIME: Rich Rodriguez Has Somehow Made West Virginia Football Even More Miserable to Watch Than It Was Under Neal Brown

MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — There was a time when Rich Rodriguez returning to West Virginia was supposed to make Mountaineer football exciting again. The high-powered offense, the intensity, the toughness, the attitude that made his first tenure in Morgantown so memorable. Fans were supposed to look forward to Saturdays again. Instead, watching West Virginia against a 3-6 Kansas team on a dreary November afternoon feels like another miserable reminder of just how far this football program has fallen.

OPINION: West Virginia Should Build Around Scotty Fox and Jyron Hughley, Not Spend $5 Million to Keep Michael Hawkins Jr.

MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — Rich Rodriguez has some extremely difficult decisions to make this offseason, and perhaps none will be more important than determining the future of West Virginia’s quarterback position. Michael Hawkins Jr. has provided plenty of exciting moments for the Mountaineers this season, but I believe the program’s best path forward is to build its 2027 team around Scotty Fox Jr., Jyron Hughley, a few additional offensive weapons from the transfer portal, and a significantly improved defense.

KU Sports

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia entered Saturday’s game against Kansas as one of the nation’s worst defenses statistically, and the Mountaineers certainly played like it.

What was more impressive was the way that KU limited WVU’s typically high-flying offense. The Jayhawks held the Mountaineers under 100 total yards through the first three quarters of action and at one point forced them to punt on seven consecutive drives. WVU made the final margin more respectable...

The Michael Hawkins Jr. Paradox: The Better He Plays, the More Pressure West Virginia Faces to Build Around Him

MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — Michael Hawkins Jr. is becoming everything West Virginia hoped he would be when he arrived in Morgantown. He’s explosive, dynamic, capable of taking over games with his arm and legs, and rapidly developing into one of the most exciting quarterbacks in college football. And somehow, that might be creating an even bigger problem for West Virginia. Because the better Hawkins plays, the more obvious it becomes that the Mountaineers have to do more around him. That’s the Michael Hawkins Jr. paradox.
