It's not that WVU football necessarily overlooked the Ohio Bobcats and were caught in a 'trap game.' Last Saturday, the Bobcats were just better in all aspects and were able to pull out a convincing seven-point victory, sending WVU back to Morgantown to lick their wounds and prepare for the Backyard Brawl against Pitt on Saturday.

WVU defense was giving entirely too much cushion to a good quarterback who can hurt you with his feet and arm.
