What I Think After “Surviving” Youngstown State

An FCS opponent came to Morgantown and left with a lopsided loss, so why did this feel like it was a fight until the end?

I think FCS opponents are a necessary evil

I know everyone would love to see three quality opponents. The Big Ten has gone as far as to ban Football Championship Subdivision teams from their members schedules. The problem with that type of assessment is that these FCS games with big schools net a big paycheck.

WVU paid the Youngstown State Penguins $500,000 to come to Morgantown, presumably lose, and not ask the Mountaineers to come play them in Ohio.
