After moving like a machine through its first five games, the West Virginia offense looked like a moped struggling to climb up a mountain against Iowa State, gaining 152 yards and scoring one touchdown.
“I just thought our timing was a little off last week, which was weird,” said coach Dana Holgorsen.
The key to that weirdness wasn’t resolved, even after Holgorsen and offensive coordinator Jake Spavital dug deeper into video.
“Jake and I sat and watched previous games, and our timing wasn’t messed up in those. Why was it off at Iowa State? I have some theories on it, but I don’t think it will be a hard fix.
