Mountaineer Postgame Show: West Virginia Drilled by UCF

In this story:
Rich Rodriguez and the boys will be flying back to Morgantown this evening in a sour mood, following another disappointing loss, dropping to UCF 45-13.
True freshman Scotty Fox Jr. got the start at quarterback, but it didn't take long for Rodriguez to get Khalil Wilkins in the game. Once UCF realized Wilkins wasn't posing much of a threat in the passing game, they keyed in on the ground game, creating trouble for Wilkins and the WVU offense. Both split time in the second half, but Wilkins exited the game with an injury late in the fourth quarter.
This evening on the Mountaineer Postgame Show, Eugene Napoleon and I discuss what went wrong, why the future looks bleak, and what the offense needs to do to produce better results.
