Notebook: WVU’s run game vastly improved, but not at ‘championship level’ yet

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It took Leddie Brown just eight games to surpass West Virginia’s entire rushing total as a team in twelve games last season. With a 156-yard effort against TCU Saturday, Brown upped his season total to 897 yards. WVU rushed for just 879 yards in 2019. While the progress rushing the football is clear, head coach Neal Brown says more work must be done.

“I knew we weren’t going to get it completely fixed in a years’ time. I thought that we would make significant gains, which we have. I think to be at a championship level, we have to continue that improvement.
