Hump Day

Well the Mountaineers are in full swing on fall practices for the 2012 season. Expectations are high with a #11 preseason ranking this season as the Mountaineers start threir first season of Big XII play.

Everyone knows the names of Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. These guys are the heart of our passing attack from last season that torched anyone and everyone they played. The Offense will be fine this coming season, maybe even a little better than last years, hence the high pres-season ranking.

The big question is on the defensive side of the ball where we are replacing the majority of the staff and we graduated First Round Draft Pick Bruce Irvin who will be tearing it up this season in the NFL.

There is one newcomer on defense that I will be keeping an eye on. Karl Joseph graduated High School a semester early and enrolled at WVU this past spring. He had a nice instinct for the ball and looked like he will be a next level player. He's already won a starting job for the season.

It should be a very good year, one to get excited about.
