COLUMBIA, Mo. – It’s official. Through two games, no team in the country has struggled to run the football more than West Virginia.
The Mountaineers are dead last in the United States at running the football with an average of 1.14 yards per carry.
Perhaps no one can put it better than junior offensive lineman Josh Sills.
“Two weeks in a row, we’ve had a piss-poor run game,” Sills said after Saturday’s 38-7 loss to Missouri.
Measured by total yards and yards per game, West Virginia is better than just one team – Texas State, which is coached by former WVU offensive coordinator Jake Spavital.
