Country Roads Confidential: A WVU Mountaineers podcast

WVU basketball welcomed former Gardner-Webb, Marquette and Manhattan guard Jose Perez on Sunday as the 6-foot-5 guard announced his plan to transfer into the Big 12. How will it work from here, though?

West Virginia's defense gave the offense chances late in Saturday's game, but the offense couldn't follow through to pull off the upset as No. 7 TCU remained undefeated.

The Mountaineers are a touchdown underdog at home to one of the best offenses and last unbeaten teams in the country. There's a way to make some magic happen. Where can WVU attack? Who and what must the Mountaineers control and avoid?

One topic trumps all the others in the returning Q&A episode.

The time, explanations and excuses are expiring for Neal Brown & Co. after a one-sided loss to Texas Tech.

West Virginia will have to do a few things it does well if it's going to get Neal Brown his first win against Texas Tech. The Mountaineers would be wise to look into doing a few things others have done to the Red Raiders as well.

Things looked grim until WVU exhibited a bit of grit that had been lacking during a 2-3 start. The Mountaineers are now a .500 club as they ready for another important road trip.

Baylor tries to win for the first time in Morgantown and put together more points than it has in the prior three visits. West Virginia looks for a win it needs in order to get this season back on track. Who will prevail and why on Thursday night?

As the Mountaineers press pause for a weekend, Chris and Mike press on with a discussion about the season and the many aspects involved.

WVU football has a weekend off, so we change formats, too. Rather than a Q&A, it's time to let the subscribers offer their solutions.
