West Virginia Football: Inexperienced Defense Doesn’t Mean Young

You know the Mountaineers are replacing 9 starters from last year’s defense but that doesn’t mean this year’s replacements are young pups.

The Mountaineers are one of the most experienced teams in the Big 12 this season. Thanks to returning your starting quarterback, starting wide receivers, starting offensive line and a running back, the Mountaineers have one of the most experienced offenses in the Big 12. Last year it was the senior-laden defense that was the most experienced. This year, the Mountaineers must replace 9 of those starters from last year’s #2 ranked defense in the Big 12.
