What happened
West Virginia beat UT Martin 52-7 and moved to 2-0, and the fanbase spent the evening performing an autopsy. The turning point was the second quarter, when the offense went quiet long enough for everyone to remember what they'd been worried about all along. One fan declared there is "legitimately no hope for this defense," guessing it holds "more than 3 FBS players" at best. Another was already conceding Virginia. Misery held at 76, because a 45-point win apparently proves nothing.
What fans said
“our defense is bad. Our offense got basically shut out in the 2nd quarter. We are in trouble next week against UVA.”

“Hawkins looks to be a half-decent QB, though, and it was very clear that there was never a real QB competition.”

“There is legitimately no hope for this defense. I’m not sure there’s more than 3 FBS players on it.”

“Current score 28-0. Score taking away UTMartin errors, 21-17. 210 UTM vs 250 WVU total yards. It’s all around yikes.”
u/bamaeer▲ 5frustration
“I still can’t understand the thought process in the second half last week.”
u/montani▲ 5frustration
“The defense looks like ballsack. I’ve watched a lot of bad WVU defenses but this one might be the most inept.”
