The first year (take two) under Rich Rodriguez is officially in the books for the West Virginia Mountaineers, who finished the season with a 4-8 record. WVU struggled throughout a season that had relatively high (certainly higher than a 4-8 record) expectations, even with a new head coach and a roster made up of 81 new players.
