Joey Galloway of ESPN picked Bo and the Guins to upset WVU in week 2. Mountaineer fans going nuts lol.

If all this pregame stuff meant anything, we wouldn't have to waste all that time playing the damn games!
Joey Galloway's prediction means jack s _ _ _!

This will be a big week coming up for all 3 of them. My issue is still the WR's. Who's going to step up and be able to make some plays. A lot of kids vying for a spot...

On a recruiting note: Eric Bentley, a 2017 DL from Akron SVSM just committed to us. 6-3, 260 lbs. Nice get for Bo.
Eric is a great get for this program. Yes chief it will be a very important week not only for the Qb's and receivers, but also for several players on the defense. I think a handfull of defenders step up this year that were not expected to. Starters and depth charts should be finalized by this weekend. Just curious if Hosick got any snaps with the 1st team today and who got the most in practice

Agreed, predictions don't matter compared to playing the game, but that being said, I would be interested to see what he said? Couldn't find it on the internet, and no apparent fan outrage by WVU online in a forum or anything about it either? Where did you see that chief?

I saw it on twitter. A couple blogs from WVU were saying "There's no way we lose to Youngstown State".

Link to the tweet? I didn't anything new regarding WVU fan forums. They have been consistently discounting YSU though so nothing new regarding his comment that I can see.

I really think our run defense will improve drastically from our 61st ranking a year ago. I'm really thinking our offense is not going to have to score a ton of points this year to pick up wins. We could probably average around 300 yards a game and 20 points a game and have a legitimate chance of making it to the playoffs if Zac can do what he did last year. That's how good I feel about our defense

Even a great defense will tire out if on the field all day.  The second half of NDSU was pretty bad.  I think the D will be legendary...the offense...idk.....

Your right nation forgot about the T.O.P. side of it..can't be out there all game long..What we do on 1st down this year will be crucial

TOP was a huge problem last year too.  When our sissy spread offense plays good defenses it gets shut down and we lose TOP.  Look at the game against NDSU Last year.  Of it weren't for some unbelievable big break away plays from Webb we wouldn't have come close to beating them.  The defense did their job but couldn't hold them off.  I don't think we had a first down from the 6 minute mark of Q3.

cheif, I looked for a while and couldn't find anything from Galloway saying as much. Do you have a link to the tweet or anything?
