Holgorsen evaluating what led to 2nd-half energy dropoff

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It was as if someone had walked along the West Virginia sideline with a giant Shop-Vac that sucked away all of the energy.After jumping to a 35-10 halftime lead at Texas Tech, WVU sat back with an attitude bordering on disinterest as the final 30 minutes slowly melted away.

“We kind of settled in after halftime thinking it was going to be an easy second half,” said right tackle Colton McKivitz. “I don’t think guys were focused 100 percent. You’re not doing your job to the fullest, and it started showing.”

It almost showed in the most embarrassing way possible.
