w va averages 286 ypg rushing
va yields 206 ypg rushing and over 420 ypg total defense...
i think it`s hard for a leopard to change it`s spots...
you have a startling strength vs weakness aspect here that is tough to ignore....and by the end of the season,the big east appeared to be a stronger,more physical conference(in the upper echelon teams)...
ole miss was perceived to be a weak team vs the run but yielded only around 150 ypg in the tough sec....i think that when you yield over 206 ypg rushing and over 420 ypg total in a fairly weak acc,you have an innate defensive weakness....
and in west virginia,you have a good road club travelling with lots of fans,that is starving for big time success.....i think virginia is in trouble....and i`m an acc guy....the big east looked as physical as any conference by season`s end....
west va 5-1 ats as fave this year
u va 1-4 ats vs non-conf this year
u va 1-5 last 6 on neutral turf
u va 5-8 last 13 ats vs big east
and that`s just one man`s opinion......
