WVU struggles on the ground

West Virginia running backs did not have the best of days in the 34-13 win over Marshall. Andrew Buie led the way with 30 yards on 15 carries, but he left the game in the third quarter with a minor collarbone injury. And Vernard Roberts rushed for just 12 yards on seven carries but he did score a touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

Buie should be fine, but the Mountaineers have an awful lot to work on this week in practice when it comes to running the football. The backs need to improve and so does the blocking.
