Film Study: West Virginia’s running game may be hopelessly broken

NORMAN, Okla. – With the season more than halfway in the books, there is very little remaining opportunity for deception in college football. Teams have either been exposed, or a template has been created for that exposure to happen in coming weeks.

You are what you are, to paraphrase a thought from Bill Parcells.

And that means West Virginia’s running game may be hopelessly broken.

After a three-game stretch of respectability against North Carolina State, Kansas and Texas, the Mountaineers crashed back below the Earth’s surface against Iowa State and Oklahoma.

Of WVU’s 30 carries against Oklahoma, 20 went for 2 yards or less.
