Mountaineers piling up yards, but need points to follow

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia owns the nation’s 17th-ranked passing attack and stands No. 16 in total offense, which essentially pleases Dana Holgorsen.

The coach, however, is entirely unsatisfied with his offense in the category that matters most, points. Scoring just 29 per game, West Virginia ranks only 66th nationally and eighth in the Big 12 Conference.

“We’re moving the ball, we’re averaging a lot of yards, (but) we’ve got to score more — period,” Holgorsen said.

West Virginia (4-0, 1-0) carries an unbeaten record into mid-October though its previous two wins each were tainted by turnovers inside the opponent’s 5-yard line.
