Final Thoughts On The 2016 Cactus Bowl: What I Think About West Virginia Football

The West Virginia football team heads into the offseason riding the high of winning their bowl game. After a thrilling 43-42 come from behind win, which saw QB Skyler Howard set the bowl and school passing yard mark, I have some thoughts as we head into the football offseason.

Well if you were unable to stay up to watch this game because it didn't end until almost 3 am, you missed the a rousing barn-burner of a game. West Virginia saw what should have been a 10 point lead [23-13 after the extra point] turn into a Pete Carrol-esque 22-18 halftime lead because Arizona State blocked the extra point, returned it for a 2-point conversion then kicked a field goal going into halftime.
