COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — In the interest of accountability, let’s rewind to my column of Aug. 31 regarding over/under guesses for the West Virginia 2015 football season:
REGULAR-SEASON WINS: 8
What I wrote then: UNDER. Most everybody expects a 3-0 start, but posting a winning record in the conference looks dicey, made tougher by the Mountaineers facing an odd-year five-game road schedule. Sure, this bunch could be entertaining enough, and the defense might remind us of how West Virginia used to stop teams. But that itchy feeling won’t depart and I can’t talk myself into anything better than 7-5, with 6-6 looming as a strong option.
