MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Vic Koenning’s top priority as a defensive coordinator is stopping the run. That being the case, his first dress rehearsal at West Virginia was an unqualified success.
Going up against the No. 1 offensive line in the spring game, the first-string defense allowed 81 yards on 32 rushing attempts.
“If you can’t stop the run, you can’t stop anything,” Koenning said. “We’re going to be good at stopping the run. We’re going to do what it takes to have enough numbers to stop the run.”
Koenning made it clear that mentality is coming with him on the recruiting trail, as well.
