COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Ask him about the Tennessee scouting report and West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen makes a C-shape with his fingers spread two inches apart.
“There’s an offensive book on my desk that thick, and a defensive book on my desk that thick, and a special-teams book on my desk that thick,” he said. “The scouting report is done. It’s been done for about a month.”
Yet those pages and pages of Vols information, compiled by Holgorsen’s staff analysts, won’t reach Holgorsen’s eyes until this weekend, a sort of demarcation line when the inward focus of the preseason shifts outward to the season-opening opponent.
