West Virginia and opponents have 4 straight games of 1,000 yards in total offense
West Virginia's football team has a productive offense and a terrible defense. That has added up to four straight games in which the Mountaineers and their opponents have combined for 1,000 yards. According to Sportradar, that's the longest streak of 1,000-yard games among Bowl Subdivision teams since 2020. West Virginia is 1-3 over that four-game stretch. Its defense ranks last nationally in passing yards allowed and next-to-last in total defense.
That has overshadowed some great performances by quarterback Mike Hawkins Jr. and running back Cam Cook. Hawkins leads the nation in rushing touchdowns and is third in total offense. Cook is fifth nationally in rushing yards.
