Tavon Austin, Noel Devine’s heir apparent, has been moved to the outside “Z” receiver position for the 2010 Mountaineer football season.
In a recent interview, Austin compared himself to Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith. How could a sophomore running back at WVU compare himself with a potential NFL Hall Of Fame wide receiver? Surely, Austin had taken too hard of a hit by Robert Sands in practice, prior to making that comment.
Somehow, I was missing something. I decided to compare Austin and Smith myself.

MORGANTOWN - There was a scary moment during West Virginia's first full-contact workout of the spring Saturday afternoon, but it didn't come during anything close to a full-contact drill.
No, instead it was during a skeleton passing drill when tailback Noel Devine crossed over the middle and collided with linebacker Anthony Leonard. It was three or four minutes before Devine was helped to his feet and limped gingerly off the field.

MORGANTOWN - Jeff Casteel’s true worth to the West Virginia football program can’t be measured purely by the statistics his defenses produce.
Sure, West Virginia has had one of the better defenses in the country the last five years, the Mountaineers finishing eighth in scoring defense in 2007, 11th in scoring defense in 2008 and ranking seventh in total defense in 2007 giving up just 301.7 yards per game.
