West Virginia University football coach Neal Brown addressed criticism of the team’s performance in the 2024 season during his weekly radio show on Thursday night. Brown expressed his frustration with the team’s inconsistent performances, acknowledging that the 5-5 record is not as bad as it may seem compared to a 0-10 record. However, fans are disappointed with the team’s failure to contend for the Big 12 title as promised.
Despite the possibility of reaching a bowl game with one more win, fans are disheartened by the team’s struggles at home and a lack of consistency in both offense and defense. Brown has acknowledged the team’s shortcomings and is focused on improving performance in the home finale against UCF.
Offensive coordinator Chad Scott has emphasized the importance of staying mentally strong and not dwelling on past failures. West Virginia is seen as an underdog against UCF, but the team is determined to bounce back and secure a win to keep their bowl game hopes alive.
The game between West Virginia and UCF is set to air on ESPNU at 3:30 pm ET, with the Knights favored to win. Fans will be watching closely to see if the Mountaineers can overcome their inconsistencies and finish the season strong.
