What WVU Players have proven special on offense? Who shall join the list this year?

The simple and obvious answers to question 1 would be Noel Devine and Jock Sanders. Since their arrival on campus 4 years ago the "little guys" have produced. Noel and Joche came to a team that already had incredible talent at the running back/slot receiver positions. What has been amazing is the fact that they both made contributions early and as the Steve Slaton's and Darius Reynaud's left for the NFL they just plugged themselves into those rolls and WVU never looked back. This season we see the two of them leading the offense in terms of on the field prowess as well as Senior leadership. They were both invited by Coach Stewart to represent the offense at the Big East Media days and both approached that honor with class and dignity. I have been impressed with both these "lads" for so many reasons but probably most of all for their development into men. WVU is blessed with both of them.


The answer to question 2 would in my humble opinion include several other gentlemen. I think Tavon Austin tops the list of newbies. While showing some signs of explosion last season, I anticipate a much larger dose of that in this one. Joining both Noel Brandon and Jock in return duties again this year could prove to be a lot for other teams to contend with. I would want to neither punt the ball or kick off to us. ( Let us hope that we only have to endure 1 kick-off a game; but I anticipate plenty of punt returns-shameless defensive plug intended.) In addition to Tavon I would include Ryan Clark and Bradley Starks. These two shall have increased responsibilities in the offense this season. They have begun to receive praise and accolades from the coaching staff and I simply think they have too much to offer not to get those ever desired touches. While there are several other members of the team who I think can be stars on offense I think that these 5 "lads" Noel, Jock, Tavon, Ryan, and Brad shall have Toni C calling their names often "...and that is another West Virgina touchdown" (Clicking on the image shall take you to MSNSportsNet.Com. Has a great article on Tavon.)

I am excited by the prospect of watching them all in this 2010 campaign.
