Sport Columns

MORGANTOWN - Rich Rodriguez comes into his second season of his second go-round as West Virginia's football coach knowing he has to rebuild his offense from the ground game up and that makes the first order of business completely replacing an offensive line that could not move a moveable object, let alone an immovable one. Working with a new cast of characters up front and with old friend Rick Trickett coaching them, one of the most pleasant successes out of fall camp is that new offensive line that both he and Trickett believe to be of Big 12 quality and just getting started with the ...

WVU coaches confident in rebuilt offensive line

Local Sports

MORGANTOWN — West Virginia football’s offensive line received a complete rebuild this offseason. From the coach of the room to the players. It needed work. The Mountaineers were one of the worst units in the Big 12, and Rich Rodriguez has admitted they weren’t very good at that spot.
