Country Roads Confidential: A WVU Mountaineers podcast

Michael Swain of CycloneAlert joins the podcast to help preview this weekend's West Virginia game against Iowa State.

Was it something he said? Neal Brown said everything was on the table during the open week, and WVU looked similar. against TCU ... but did make some changes. What did we see? What did we think? What about the quarterback position in the past, present and future?

A powerful running game, an efficient quarterback and an aggressive defense carried West Virginia to yet another win over TCU.

WVU's poor run game meets TCU's poor run defense Saturday night in Texas. Is it as simple as that or is there more to the matchup as the Mountaineers seek to end a three-game losing streak and a seven-game slide on the road?

Basketball season is underway. Football is back from an open week. Business is about to pick up for both. What can we expect from this point forward?

Another loss, another round of questions about the past, present and future of West Virginia football and the Neal Brown tenure.

WVU gave up a touchdown on the second play from scrimmage and had to call a timeout before its first snap. It got worse from there in a 45-20 loss to Baylor.

WVU is 2-3 overall and 0-2 in the Big 12 following a discouraging loss to Texas Tech. Subscribers wonder about the future of the program, the coaching staff, the roster and more.

This is a new episode, even though it may sound like older ones. WVU once again contributed to its own demise Saturday and lost a third straight game to Texas Tech.
