MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — After allowing 1,000 yards of offense and 77 points the first two games of the season, Colorado came to a realization it was making things too easy for the opponent because things were too hard for the Buffaloes.

MORGANTOWN – Jarrett Brown admits that while he’s no masochist, he still couldn’t help but subject himself to watching West Virginia’s game at Auburn over and over and over again.

Not smart all the time, but hard and well. “I’m not pleased, I’m not happy, I’m not overjoyed,” Stewart said in the wake of West Virginia’s [...]

MORGANTOWN – Anyone who watched West Virginia lose 41-30 to Auburn late Saturday night came away with pretty much the same conclusion: Had Jarrett Brown not turned the ball over five times the Mountaineers very likely would have won. It’s hard, though, to pin the loss on the shoulders of this rookie redshirt senior quarterback [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia’s 41-30 loss at Auburn on Saturday night looked a lot like a rerun of the Mountaineers’ 21-13 loss at South Florida two years ago.
