After starting the season with five-straight 30-point games, West Virginia’s offense hasn’t reached that milestone since. Coach Bill Stewart said teams are “getting the book” on West Virginia, which plays at No. 4 Cincinnati Friday night at 8 on ESPN2. Stewart said he asked for more from starting quarterback Jarrett Brown, whose production has slipped since suffering a concussion against Marshall in the team’s sixth game.At the time, Brown was completing nearly 69 percent of his passes, averaging 202 yards passing and had eight touchdowns to just five interceptions. Since then, he has completed 58 percent and is averaging 50 yards less passing. He has two touchdowns and three interceptions in his past three games.
“He needs to pick it up, and he knows it,” Stewart said. “I told him that I wanted him to be alive in the pocket and have fun. I want him to play like it’s sandlot football.” Stewart also said he would like to see better pass blocking and more precise routes from his receivers.
“We all need to pick it up,” Stewart said. “We need to coach better, play better.” Starting wide receiver Alric Arnett said the offense had a team meeting prior to Monday’s practice.
