Not so instant analysis

When my team plays I don't blog. I'm watching (complaining or cheering). My fellow blogger, 'Eye, has so wisely pointed out that West Virginia wasn't supposed to run all over a mighty SEC team like Auburn. But the Mountaineers did. And they've been doing it for years now.

Pat White and Noel Devine were dominating and almost unstoppable, Dorrell Jalloh is still spinning away for Tiger defenders and doing a little dance to celebrate.

Finally, that was the offense that all WVU fans have been expecting this season under first-year coordinator Jeff Mullen. I still question a few calls, but that's to be expected (still not sure that fourth-quarter misdirection play with Jock Saunders was real bright).

What has been the most impressive part of the Mountaineers up-and-down season has been the defense. This was supposed to be the weak link. Coordinator Jeff Casteel has done an outstanding job with this group. Sure, they play a little too much of the bend but don't break approach, but they dominated Auburn in the second half (I know Auburn's offense is horrible).

Still an impressive come-from-behind win on national TV that could give WVU the confidence it needs as it gets ready for the heart of its Big East slate. It's a much better position than Auburn right now, who is spiraling out of control and could finish with a losing record.
