Column: Mountaineers check the right boxes during Week 2 drubbing

COMMENTARY

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — He left behind a program that went 40-4 the past three seasons yet Jabril Robinson says the mission here, at West Virginia, is the same as it was there, at Clemson.

Through two games at least, changing addresses hasn’t changed the winning experience.

The Mountaineers stand 2-0 after dismantling Youngstown State 52-17, doing what was necessary to make this rainy Saturday night satisfying.

Robinson collected his first TFL and then granted his first interview, sounding introspective yet inclusive about why he appreciates his new program. When he visited WVU for his transfer look-in, he said coaches “told me their only goal is to win,” and he sensed an optimistic vibe from the older players.
