MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — What was good enough for West Virginia in Neal Brown’s first season at the helm isn’t going to cut it in Year 2.
“A 5-7 record is not good enough,” Brown said in a season wrap-up press conference on Friday afternoon. “That doesn’t meet the standard here. I’m well aware of that. But we were only favored in two of the 12 games. And I was pleased with how we finished the season. I’m excited about the future. I’m excited about where we’re going.”
The Mountaineers will need to replace both starting offensive tackles, both starting cornerbacks and their starting punter and long snapper.
