MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – In an ideal world, Isaiah Hardy would be starting on the West Virginia offensive line next season with another year of practice under his belt.
Alas, the world is not often ideal.
Hardy has hit his maximum of four games played this season. With just one additional snap, the senior’s eligibility will be gone next year. Heading into the season, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen envisioned Hardy being part of the Mountaineers’ future. As recently as last week, Holgorsen was still hoping such a thing was possible when Week 1 starting right guard Joe Brown was cleared to return from a neck injury.
