West Virginia University's football team is regrouping after a disappointing 34-12 loss to No. 8 Penn State in their season opener. Players and coaches consistently stated they did not meet their own standards during the game, highlighting issues like an ineffective offensive line and problems with ball security. The Mountaineers' defense struggled against Penn State's running game, allowing 222 yards, while multiple dropped passes hindered offensive momentum.

Moving forward, the team is focused on addressing their shortcomings and ensuring improved performance in their upcoming game.
