The No. 4 ranked WVU Mountaineers hit the road for four of our next five games.
Destination #1: Greenville, NC to face the ECU Pirates. East Carolina Coach Skip (son of Lou) Holtz knows what is coming. At his monday press conference he acknowledged, "They're fast. They can reach you. They're quick. They're athletic... They're scary."
After swiftly rushing past our first three challengers let's hope we don't hit a bump in the road against this perennial pain in the backside. Let's not forget this is East Carolina. The same team that just last year held WVU to less than 130 yards on the ground. So let's not overlook the Pirates.
Okay. Enough of the cautious "coach speak."
Who am I kidding? We are the No. 4 team in the nation and while ECU may have slowed us last year they did not face the wrath of Slaton, White, and Schmidt.
Let's hope our ground game may is so dominating that Pattrick White only attempts 8 passes and Steve Slaton starts the off week early in the 3rd quarter.

In other news, how bad is Miami (da U)? Or just how good is Louisville?
Talk about a scary thought, you lose your elite RB for the season and your star QB for at least a month. They haven't missed a beat. Credit has to be given to the U of L. As a Gold and Blue faithful I can only hope that we could reload as quickly as they have this season.
As for Miami (da U) and the rest of the ACC, they are getting their just deserts. While it may only be a aberration the ACC is not the conference that it was hyped to be when they raided the Big East. The only natural ACC team that is undefeated is Wake Forest. I love it!!! A-C-C... A-C-C... A-C-C...

How good is the Big East (and its former Members?) Just think about that for a second...
