MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- The combinations of individual and small group work continued this past week on the practice field and inside Milan Puskar Stadium as West Virginia continues to move toward the Backyard Brawl with Pitt, now fewer than 20 days away.
These practice periods, and others like them, are building toward 11-on-11 work, which has mostly been hidden from view. However, there's still a good bit to see during the open practice sessions of the first couple of weeks.
West Virginia defensive linemen emphasize choppy steps to maintain balance while working on punch and rip moves
West Virginia punt return team members work on rush paths and shield avoidance
West Virginia defensive linemen drill on punch and slide techniques against a blocking target, with emphasis on additional techniques such as staying low and correct hand positioning to maximize impact and create space for movement. Waiting for the ball to move, simulating the snap, is also important.
Combination work with interior defensive linemen and linebackers provides a stepping stone between individual position drills and full squad reps
