The West Virginia Mountaineers will score points, and plenty of them, in the 2012 College Football season.
Holy smokes! What’s going to happen with the offense of the West Virginia Mountaineers in 2012? The Mountaineers showed off just how good this offense can be when they ended their college football season with a 70-33 victory over Clemson in the Orange Bowl, setting the stage for the fireworks sure to come in 2012. Quarterback Geno Smith, who threw for a record six touchdowns in that game, is returning with a year of experience in the system under his belt. The Mountaineers will also have the talents of wide receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey again, both of whom thrived in 2011 and should be even better in 2012.
Did we forget to mention that leading rusher Dustin Garrison is also coming back? Shame on us. But with all these pieces of the puzzle returning it would be impossible not to see the West Virginia Mountaineers as one of the most exciting teams in college football in 2012. Head Coach Dana Holgorsen is an offensive genius and his offense is sure to baffle more than one defensive coordinator.
If there’s a fly in this ointment it’s the uncertainty of the defensive side of the ball. The Mountaineers will lose some good players to graduation and possibly their defensive coordinator. Furthermore, the attempted move to the Big 12 could turn out to be a distraction. But there are far more positive things going on in West Virginia to let politics stand in the way of what’s going to be on offensive season of football for the Mountaineers.
