Big 12 offers new challenges for Mountaineers

Posted: Updated:

Training camp for the Mountaineers starts a week from today, and everyone around Morgantown and the program are eager to get things going. Not only are the Mountaineers coming off that impressive 70 point Orange Bowl performance, but the are also a number two preseason pick in their new conference. Quarterback Geno Smith says his team is looking forward to facing new teams in new places. For these guys it's a brand new start."It's gonna be awesome to get a chance to go to some different venues and to play against different coaches and players." said Smith, "It's gonna bring about a huge challenge for us as players, as an offense. Everyone's hearing about 70 points and no one wants to be the team to give it up so I expect so see many blitz packages, I expect to see lot's of different looks to try and throw us off as an offense."
