Things aren't going so well in Morgantown West Va. right now. First they lost to Pitt, then they lost their coach. Then they won the Fiesta Bowl (that was the one bright spot) and then they hired Bill Stewart. Now they've lost speedsters Steve Slaton and Darius Reynaud to the NFL. With both players skipping their final year of eligibility to test the draft waters with graduating fullback/manchild Owen Schmitt the wheels are starting to fall off the proverbial wagon (we say this because its a saying not because they still use covered wagons in West Virginia) in Morgantown. Some NFL franchise's scout team just got really expensive thanks to Slaton entering the draft, where he will probably get drafted in the first or second round only to not see the field. Don't get us wrong, we are big fans of Steve Slaton here at Understanding Lou, but he began to get exposed towards the end of the season this year, and we're not sold on him as an NFL back right now.
With Schmitt, Slaton, and Reynaud gone that leaves Pat White, a definitie heisman candidate, Noel Devine (grill included), and Tito Gonzalez left to carry the load for the Mountaineers. Theres still a lot of fire power left, but it will take a lot for this team to get back to where it was this season.
