MORGANTOWN — Let’s be honest, West Virginia holding Robert Morris to three points and just 123 total yards of offense may look good on a statistics sheet but what can’t be forgotten was this was not what the Mountaineers’ defense will be judged upon this year.

Was it a welcome respite after having had one of the worst defenses in football last season, including a pass defense that ranked 117th out of 131 teams in Division 1 in 2024? Of course, but when you are Zac Alley and the new defensive coordinator in town, you are looking for even better than what you saw. kAmp?5 p==6J[ H9@ 925 DA6?E 2 4@FA=6 @7 J62CD 9@?:?8 9:D EC256 H:E9 #:49 #@5C:8F6K 2E EH@ @E96C D49@@=D 2?5 E96? 925 >256 2 9F86 :>AC@G6>6?E :? ~<=29@>2’D 5676?D6 =2DE J62C 2D ;FDE 2 b`\J62C\@=5 5676?D:G6 4@@C5:?2E@C[ =6E 9:D A=2
