Sunday Notebook: WVU defense completes impressive opening month

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For the second consecutive season, West Virginia has opened up with victories in three of their first four games.

“The defensive success starts up front with our D-line,” said WVU head coach Neal Brown. “We’ve got some guys there that are doing a nice job and winning one-on-one battles. We are mixing it up with how we are getting to some of our pressure stuff.
