1st Quarter Update

3-3 at the end of the 1st quarter.
The Mountaineers are looking sluggish in all phases of the game--not bad, just not quite clicking. As Holgorsen would say, they are not playing smart football. West Virginia has already committed a personal foul and a turnover.
Ivan McCartney coughed up the ball at the WVU 37 yard line. Last year, it was turnovers that killed the Mountaineers as they turned it over 7 times in their first ever loss to the Huskies.
The defense has been the most disappointing so far by not getting off the field. They are allowing the Huskies to sustain long drives, putting the Mountaineers in a huge time-of-possession hole. UCONN has held the ball for 11:07, with West Virginia getting it for only 3:53. Part of that is WVU's quick-strike offense...but this needs to improve in the rest of the game.
