Kwiatkoski, Tonkery provide consistency at linebacker
KYLE MONROE/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMLinebacker Wes Tonkery, No. 37, jumps to try and knock down a pass from Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb Saturday.

@Dailyathenaeum
Prior to the start of the 2014 season, West Virgin-ia’s linebackers garnered attention as one of the bet-ter units in the Big 12. Mid-way through the season, the Mountaineers’ linebackers are continuing to make a name for themselves.
Despite the abundance of defensive mishaps in Saturday’s 37-34 win over Texas Tech, middle line-backer Nick Kwiatkoski remained the consistent force he’s been all season, registering a team-high 11
tackles. Kwiatkoski seem-ingly had ball carriers’ numbers all afternoon and was able to get into Texas Tech’s backfield for two tackles for loss.
Although strong side linebacker Wes Tonkery didn’t play his best game against the Red Raiders, the redshirt senior has been an instrumental part of West Virginia’s defense thus far. Tonkery racked up nine tackles against then-No. 2 Alabama in Week 1 and eight against then-No. 4 Oklahoma in Week 4.
After suffering numer-ous injuries over the course of his career, Kwiatkoski
believes Tonkery’s ability to stay healthy this season has helped the most in his improvement.
“He has had shoulder injuries and knee injuries, so that’s the biggest thing,” Kwiatkoski said. “I like to see him on the field. He has been here for a year longer than I have, and we both played safety when I first got here so we have been together since then. He’s a great player, and the big-gest thing is him staying healthy this year so he can be out there on the field.”
Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said Tues-day that Tonkery has been
playing at a high level, but wasn’t happy with his per-formance Saturday.
“He was exposed in his space a few times, and they were cut blocking him,” Gibson said. “Some of that stuff I am not so sure was on the up and up, but it is what it is.”
After moving linebacker Brandon Golson to defen-sive end prior to the Kansas game to establish a better pass rush, Kwiatkoski and Tonkery figure to have their hands full with Baylor’s No. 1 offense.
Baylor is known to mix in a lot of play-action passes with its running game, and
both Kwiatkoski and Tonk-ery will need to be able to play disciplined football to counter it. The Bears feature a physical run-ning back in Shock Lin-wood, who has rushed for 627 yards and eight touch-downs this season, includ-ing his most recent 178-yard performance against TCU.
Head coach Dana Hol-gorsen said setting the tone on defense will go a long way in establishing con-fidence and momentum against the nation’s No. 4 team.
“A start is a start. How you finish is more impor-
tant. But getting off to the right track and starting quick is something that we do emphasize,” Holgorsen said.
After facing two ranked teams in the first half of the season, Kwiatkoski said there’s no intimidation fac-tor when it comes to facing Baylor.
“We have opened up against two top-five teams earlier in the season, so it’s something that we have seen,” he said. “We have seen the best of the best, so it is just another game to us.”

Trickett searching for key to finishing top-five upsetBy Ryan PeTRovich
SportS Writer @Dailyathenaeum
West Virginia quarter-back Clint Trickett was disappointed with his per-formance following WVU’s win over Texas Tech last Saturday.
Even though Trick-ett felt there was room for improvement, he still amassed 301 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Red Raiders.
“It just shows the kind of competitors we are,” Trick-ett said. “We know how
close we are and the little things we could’ve done. After the game we watched and thought we played bet-ter than we thought.”
Trickett remained calm and collected under pres-sure during West Virginia’s final drive to set up Josh Lambert’s game-winning 55-yard field goal. The ma-turity level for Trickett is leaps and bounds above where it was last season.
While there was the pressure to set Lambert up for the game-winning field goal, Trickett also faced a lot of pressure in terms of
Texas Tech’s pass rush. A similar fate awaits the red shirt senior Saturday.
While Baylor’s offense is usually the topic of discus-sion, the Bears’ defense is no laughing matter.
“The biggest thing I see with them is what they’re doing defensively,” said head coach Dana Hol-gorsen. “That to me is the difference in what Baylor is now, and what they’ve been the past couple of years.”
The Bears’ defense sur-rendered 58 points to TCU, but their pass rush will
present trouble for Trickett. Trickett – for arguably
the first time this season – faced excellent pass rush-ers in Lubbock last week. He was constantly chal-lenged in the pocket and the pass rush often caused his passes to miss their mark.
“They bring a lot (of pressure), bring one more guy than you can pick up,” Trickett said. “It leaves some holes back behind there. You just got to be able to make plays.”
Baylor will also play a lot of man coverage, which
Trickett and the Mountain-eers said they are looking forward to playing against.
“It gives us more confi-dence in ourselves and the system,” Trickett said in re-gard to playing against the man coverage. “When they do go zone, the system kind of takes over, but when they go man the playing style takes over.”
Trickett will rely on his star wide receivers, Mario Alford and Kevin White, to continue to make big-time plays against the man coverage.
The key will be keeping
Trickett upright and hav-ing the ability to expose the man coverage and hit the “home run” plays Bay-lor’s been hitting all season long.
On Saturday, West Vir-ginia will play its third top-five ranked team of the sea-son, but this time around they will look to finally pickup a win.
“I’d like to win one,” Trickett said. “This is the third one, and not many teams get to play three top five teams in a season.”

@Dailyathenaeum
To say that West Virgin-ia’s secondary has its work cut out for it this weekend against Baylor may be an understatement.
Baylor enters Morgan-town with the No. 1 of-fense in the country, while West Virginia owns the No. 8 spot. Defense will be a crucial factor in a game that could come down to a shootout.
The Bears are averaging nearly 625 yards per game. West Virginia is giving up an average of 213 passing yards each game. Last sea-son, the Mountaineers al-lowed 347 passing yards and 298 rushing yards against the Bears.
“Offensively it starts with their quarterback. (Bryce) Petty is a great player,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. “He un-derstands their system, he’s got great experience, he’s big, he’s fast and he’s strong. He runs their of-fense the way it needs to be run.”
Petty threw for 510 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions in Baylor’s comeback victory
over TCU last weekend. What will WVU’s de-
fense need to do to pre-vent Baylor from putting up so-called video game numbers?
Cornerbacks Terel l Chestnut and Daryl Wor-ley chalk it up to just do-ing their job.
“We have to do our own job,” Chestnut said. “We have to win our own battle. We can’t do too much to try and make the play be-cause that’s usually when they make the play against you.”
“Everyone has to do their job,” Worley said. “That could be the sim-plest way to say it, but that’s truly what we have to do. Everyone has to do what they have to do, all 11 players have to be in tune.”
Earlier this season, Wor-ley was suspended for bat-tery charges, but WVU’s No. 1 corner returned from suspension against Texas Tech last weekend.
Worley admitted he felt rusty against the Red Raid-ers, but the Mountaineers have to hope he’s knocked off all the rust, as Baylor’s offense will test their de-fense to a tee.
“I’d rather just get thrown into the fire. This
is where I was meant to be,” Worley said on his re-turn during WVU’s tough-est part of the schedule.
Baylor boasts tremen-dous talent when it comes to their receiving corps. In the Bears’ game against the Horned Frogs, wide
receiver Antwan Goodley reeled in eight catches for 158 yards and two touch-downs, while Corey Cole-man amassed 144 yards on eight catches and had a pair of touchdowns as well.
“(Goodley’s) big. He’s
fast. You wouldn’t think someone so big could run that fast. They run great routes,” Chestnut said.
Defense could very well be the difference in a matchup that features two up-tempo offenses.
“It’s no special formula
on how to win a football game,” Chestnut said. “You just have to go out there, do your job and compete. That’s why we play foot-ball, to play teams like Baylor.”

Smallwood adds different element to WVU run game
FILE PHOTORunning back Wendell Smallwood returns a kick against Texas Tech in 2013.
By Dillon DUrStSportS Writer
@Dailyathenaeum
Heading into the 2014 sea-son, it was uncertain how West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen planned on using his stable of running backs.
Midway through the sea-son, sophomores Rushel Shell and Wendell Smallwood have risen to the top of the depth chart and were instrumental in the Mountaineers’ 37-34 win over Texas Tech Saturday in Lubbock.
Shell racked up 110 yards on 24 carries and two touch-
downs, including a one-yard, game-tying touchdown run with 2:02 left to play in the fourth quarter. Although Smallwood didn’t register a touchdown, he chipped in 123 yards on 15 carries.
Prior to Saturday’s matchup, Holgorsen said he’d been disappointed with Smallwood’s big-play ability.
“He had his best week of practice last week, and he had his best game as a Mountain-eer last week,” Holgorsen said Tuesday. “He needs to build on that, and he needs to con-tinue to improve.
“He’s a guy who has a burst, so when he gets four or five
yards in on that safety, he’s a guy who can make that guy miss and burst.”
Since Texas Tech’s main de-fensive goal was to take away perimeter playmakers Kevin White and Mario Alford, Shell and Smallwood were able to take advantage of some good matchups in the box.
“(Texas Tech) put safeties over top of (White and Al-ford),” Holgorsen said. “I’ve been in that situation before in the past where they put safeties over top of receivers to where you have a favorable box to be able to run the ball, and you can’t. Now you’re in trouble.
“We finally started get-ting some explosive plays in the run game, especially in the second half. … When you get that kind of coverage and take away the deep guys and you can’t run the ball, you’re in trouble. We’re in a situa-tion now where we’re able to do that.”
Although Shell is the Mountaineers’ leading rusher with 490 yards, Small-wood plays a more versatile role within the offense and often splits out as a receiver. Smallwood said former WVU running back Charles Sims showed him how to be versa-tile and effective in both the
running and passing games, but he wants to stay true to his style of play.
“I would like to be like Charles Sims, but I would like to put my own spin on it,” he said.
Through six games, Small-wood has tallied 278 rushing yards on 57 carries and 18 re-ceptions for 241 yards.
Holgorsen said he expects No. 4 Baylor to load the box and take away the run Satur-day. Baylor’s defense has been on the rise the past several years under defensive coor-dinator Phil Bennett, and the Mountaineers figure to have their hands full with the Bears’
aggressive defensive scheme.“They’ve transitioned what
they’re doing defensively to match what they’re doing of-fensively, which is take the air out of the defense and pres-sure and pressure and pres-sure – junk up the box and put a lot of people in there to the point to where you bet-ter score quickly,” Holgorsen said.
As with every Big 12 game West Virginia has won this year, the Mountaineers must be able to successfully run the ball to have a shot at unseating the No. 4 team in the nation.

Defensive line still struggling to bring pressureBy Anthony PecorAro
AssociAte sports editor @pecorAroWVUNeWs
As the No. 1 scoring team in the nation enters Morgantown Saturday in the No. 4 Baylor Bears, the West Virginia defense knows it has its hands full.
Despite the defense giv-ing up an average of 27.2 points per game this sea-son through six games, defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said he still believes his defensive line will be prepared for Saturday.
In the Mountaineers’
latest victory against Texas Tech, not much pressure was put on Red Raider quarterback Davis Webb, as head coach Dana Hol-gorsen said following the game-winning field goal Saturday.
“He had hours of time to throw in the first half,” Holgorsen said.
Holgorsen said Baylor, who loves the long ball, also presents top-notch running threats in sopho-more Shock Linwood, who has 627 rushing yards with eight touchdowns on the season, as well as in run-ning backs such as red-
shirt freshman Johnny Jefferson and sophomore Silas Nacita.
“They’ve got plenty of backs. Shock Linwood is a quality back. You take him out and put a couple of the other guys in there, and it doesn’t miss a beat, as well,” he said.
“They’re moving the ball. They’re scoring. They’re doing it quickly. It will be a challenge for us defensively.”
Knowing West Virgin-ia’s defensive line will be challenged Saturday, the Mountaineers will have to bounce back from a
lackluster performance against Texas Tech. Junior Red Raider running back DeAndre Washington put up a career day with 132 rushing yards, and Tech ran for a total of 217 rush-ing yards, the second-most Tech has put up in a Big 12 game over the past decade.
That outburst on the ground has now made West Virginia eighth in the Big 12 in allowing 4.8 yards per carry, with only Iowa State and Texas Tech allowing more per carry with 4.9 yards each.
Gibson said even with
those unpleasant statistics for West Virginia, the fo-cus will remain on doing all the Mountaineers can to attempt to contain the beast in the Bears.
“You always try to con-trol what they are doing and how they are doing it,” Gibson said. “Right now, we are facing an-other animal as far as that goes. They are going to spread you from sideline to sideline.
“We just have to get better at space, and that’s easy to say, but when you are used to playing in the back, stopping the run and
going out on wide outs, it gets difficult.”
Gibson made it clear when he said with the im-mense amount of weap-ons the Bears will bring into Milan Puskar Sta-dium Saturday, some re-arranging on the defen-sive line, as well as with the entire defense, should be expected.
“Some other guys may have to step up and do some things,” he said. “You will see some differ-ent people on the field at times against these guys.”

West Virginia’s top-three upperclassmen receivers have been invaluable to the 2014 Mountaineer squad.
From senior receivers Kevin White and Mario Al-ford to junior receiver Jor-dan Thompson, this trio has combined for 125 receptions for 1,582 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns through the first six games of the season.
That’s 28 more receiving yards out of the top-three re-ceivers in only half as many games, compared to the top-three in the entire 2013 sea-son from Alford, White and Daikiel Shorts with 1,554 re-ceiving yards combined.
However, even with out-standing numbers early on for the offense and the man connecting with them in redshirt senior quarter-back Clint Trickett, who is No. 3 in the nation in pass-ing yards this season with 2,203, Thompson said the entire receivers squad each week is focused on the task at hand and knows what to expect out of the No. 4 Bay-lor defense.
“Every receiver’s dream
is to have a defense play man, because it’s one-on-one routes,” Thompson said. “We are definitely look-ing forward to the challenge of Baylor’s defense playing man coverage.”
Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said he knows what his offense must prepare for as the Bears are capable of far more than most teams, but that still doesn’t change the overall game plan for West Virginia.
“Obviously, we have to take shots by the nature of their defense, and we have to throw the ball vertical, but that can’t be all that you do, because your percent-ages are going to go down when you are taking shots,” he said.
“At some points, it is like a tennis match. We might go out there and it might be a defensive battle. You never know what the overall game is going to be like.”
Even with the major threats Baylor presents, Dawson said the best thing the Mountaineers can do Saturday is worry about themselves and not the opposition.
“All you can do is control what you are able to control
on your end. We are going to go out there on Saturday and try to execute,” he said. “Obviously, the game plan is different from week to week, and philosophy is different from week to week, so we will see.”
Thompson, who found out first-hand Saturday against Texas Tech that anything is possible – even when trailing by two touch-downs with less than six minutes remaining in the game – said that’s the men-
tality this entire Mountain-eer squad will be taking moving forward.
“There is no such thing as a comfortable lead, es-pecially with all the high-power offenses in the Big 12 Conference,” he said.
“People will generally quit when you get behind a cer-tain amount of points, but this team didn’t quit. We be-lieved that we were going to win the game.”
