Geno Smith took to Twitter last night and declared that West Virginia University would do something its never done before: win a national championship in football. It is a bold statement to be sure but one that I can get behind. Dana Holgorsen has done such a tremendous job here at WVU, taking a program from 60-ish scholarship to the full limit of 85 while building depth for the program.
Geno’s declaration comes slightly out of the blue but it also comes on the heels of the Mountaineers gaining two more commitments. The first was 2018 cornerback Jayce Rogers, who committed to the Mountaineers thanks to Doug Belk’s connections in Georgia.
