MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For his weekly news conference, coach Dana Holgorsen typically brings to the podium a cheat sheet on West Virginia’s upcoming opponent.
Tuesday he also came armed with statistics from last Saturday’s 26-11 win over Missouri, in which his offense made five red-zone trips and produced only one touchdown.
“The famous red-zone question,” Holgorsen joked. “We averaged 3.7 yards a trip. They averaged 1.3. So we won by 2.28.”
While West Virginia settled for four chip-shot field goals, Missouri also penetrated the 20 five times and fared worse—coming away empty on three possessions.
