Brown: West Virginia’s blocking trouble came from the top down

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — There are many fingers to point after West Virginia’s run-blocking woes against James Madison on Saturday.

The offensive line, of course, is the most obvious place to start after the Dukes limited the Mountaineers to 1.4 yards per carry.

In what amounts to a glass half-full or half-empty scenario depending on one’s perspective, head coach Neal Brown said that there were very few miscommunications and missed assignments. The Mountaineers were just getting flat-out beaten upon reaching the point of attack.

“It’s got to be better. That’s pretty evident,” Brown said on Monday’s Big 12 coaches teleconference.
