An early look at Missouri's Week 1 visit to West Virginia

Related Topics: Missouri, West Virginia

On Thursday, my 2016 West Virginia preview went up at SB Nation. I thought this would be a good time to not only draw reference to it but also talk about a few tidbits that pertain most directly to Missouri's Week 1 battle against the Mountaineers.

1. Dana Holgorsen's seat is a bit hot

West Virginia set the bar high and then failed to clear it, first for a month, then for 30 key minutes.

That can be more frustrating for fans and administrators than simply being mediocre would be. Holgorsen and his squad showed what they were clearly capable of, then lost three games by 20-plus points and blew a double-digit lead.
