Holgorsen’s leftover house of cards crumbles to heap at Missouri

COMMENTARY

COLUMBIA, Mo. – West Virginia fans still have plenty of ire for former coach Rich Rodriguez, and understandably so. But perhaps more venom should be reserved for the recently departed Dana Holgorsen.

At least Rodriguez left Bill Stewart the keys to a luxury car. Holgorsen left Neal Brown with a 1975 Ford Pinto.

Holgorsen’s second-hand Pinto had its inevitable fender bender-turned-explosion at Missouri Saturday afternoon in a miserable 38-7 loss to the Tigers.

There were enough low points to fill a piñata.

When the Mountaineers took possession with 7:49 left in the fourth quarter, they weren’t just facing a 38-0 deficit.
