Homecoming weekend and the West Virginia Mountaineers’ Coal Rush game brought plenty of excitement for a program that entered the matchup against TCU with a 2-5 record. Though the Mountaineers came up short in a 23-17 loss, there were numerous positives on both sides of the ball that we had not seen much of in the previous 4 losses in Big 12 play.
"Couldn’t play much worse [than last week]. We played harder; the guys didn’t quit. Probably going to be mad after we watch the film, left a lot of stuff out there," head coach Rich Rodriguez said following the loss.
