Stagnant West Virginia looks for spark against stingy Wolfpack defense

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The only offense in the country yet to break a run longer than 10 yards through the first two games of the season will try to get things in motion against one of two defenses that has yet to allow a touchdown this season when North Carolina State visits West Virginia on Saturday afternoon.

The Mountaineers (1-1) are the team on the statistically challenged end of that equation, entering the game averaging a meager 1.1 yards per carry.

“If you watched the film and that doesn’t spark you to get better, then you obviously shouldn’t be here,” offensive lineman Josh Sills said in the wake of WVU’s 38-7 loss at Missouri.
