These are, in many ways, similar teams with similar problems, a breath of relief for the Mountaineers after playing a schedule ranked 33rd nationally in strength:

This game isn't going to qualify for instructional video status, but that doesn't matter much to The Mount at this point: It's a chance to drop a fool and enjoy the spoils of war.
