West Virginia MetroNews: Did the Mountaineers become 2016’s Team of Dustiny?

COMMENTARY

LUBBOCK, Texas — Yup, you read that headline correctly. Just one final flat-as-forever, parched-throat jab before leaving the West Texas city where the Mountaineers’ season turned serious.

Merely beating Texas Tech would’ve been a neat feather. Manhandling the Red Raiders 48-17 produced a shower of national bouquets and elevated West Virginia into conversations of contendership.

To be certain, most of this chatter is premature. (Exactly 20 years ago, Tarantino’s original “From Dusk Till Dawn” gave us a suspenseful half-movie before thoughtlessly devolving into a vampire chop shop. West Virginia’s promising season also is about to reach its tell-tale midpoint, and there’s more to the analogy, with Dana Holgorsen’s contract leverage currently coming back from the dead.)
