The answer was short and succinct, “It better be” West Virginia Mountaineers head coach Neal Brown said when asked if the running game would be better than the 128th rushing attack that the team featured last season. The question is will it be?
The Mountaineers are going to give the ball mainly to Leddie Brown, a true junior who has all of the physical skills but none of the statistics. As a freshman, Brown played in 11 games and finished with 446 yards and four touchdowns, but he “regressed” as a sophomore, seeing action in only 10 games and rushing for 367 yards and one touchdown.
