COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — On the off chance his mom is a loyal reader, we shan’t repeat the word West Virginia defensive lineman Reuben Jones boomed off the walls of the locker room tunnel following the Mountaineers’ 38-14 loss to Iowa State.
Rest assured, though, that it captured the spirit of the moment.
Only the most overzealous fanatics can deny that West Virginia is on a slow but nonetheless upward trajectory halfway into Neal Brown’s first season. There’s a visible tire fire emanating from the southeast side of Houston providing a weekly reminder of why the WVU program has been entrusted in better hands than it once was.
