Allar hype is legit. He made a handful of jaw dropping throws - the out patterns across the field are not guard able and his accuracy on the run, phew. 4 drops in there as well, just need those cleaned up. His awareness and ability to move with his eyes staying down the field are elite.
WR room will produce, which was a question mark. Seems like Wallace and Cliff will be the possession types with KLS as the big play threat. McClain and Cephas had good moments as well.
OL looked DECENT - we could run the ball (sometimes felt like we got away from it) and Allar was generally clean. A few missed assignments though.
Singleton and Allen were very business like in their contributions. Singleton seems more polished than last year. Allen seems to have added some quickness to his power game.
Defense underwhelmed but they did hold them to 7. They were able to get off the field in key moments. No TOs or 3 and outs. Carter hopefully was humbled because he missed a few easy tackles. Still seem to be soft at DL (some guys out noted) and up the middle. DEs were neutralized, although Adisa put together a nice game. King and Dixon played well outside of one blown coverage.
Need to figure out ST. Kicker and punter are going to be liabilities. The missed FGs were huge in the moment, those six points would’ve really put WVU in a hole at half.
Can’t be upset with a double digit win over a P5 opponent in week 1. WVU had a strong OL and RB and I think they’ll lean on them to finish middle of the pack in the BIG12.
OSU/McCord look good, but not great. They’re definitely beat-able this year. Michigan seems similar to last year - they’ll try and shove it down our throats with the run game, so we’ll likely need Allar to be great that day to win.
