Nehlen should be on the field a lot, so I will list WVU as having 7 white starters. FB Lindamood probably won't be on the field much in the new system, so most of the time it will be 6 white starters on offense. No white starters on D this year for the Mountaineers.

Offense


RB (B)
38 Matt Lindamood 6-0 236 Jr.

IR (Y
89 Tyler Urban 6-5 251 Sr.

WR (Z)
80 Ryan Nehlen 6-2 204 Jr.

LT
62 Don Barclay 6-4 305
Sr.
C 74 Joe Madsen 6-4 300 Jr.

RG
55 Tyler Rader 6-3 296 Sr.

RT
57 Jeff Braun 6-4 320 Jr.


Defense

* Courtesy of Twenty two LB's Branko Busick & Casey Vance(the white Sam Mills)... or add fighting for position?? Other guys that should get into the rotation include DT-J.B. Lageman(wonder if related to Jeff former NYJet?) ..... two (RS-Fr) FS Wes Tonkery & DE Trevor Demko

Is this the best a nearly all white state could do? 7 white starters? Pathetic! They've been sticking with a black qb for quite some time as well.

I hope none of the thug affletes on WVU try messing with Lindamood after he trucks them in practice. That's because Lindamood was a 215 lbs. wrestling state champ! He's one bad a$$ you know what!

Yes, this is truly pathetic. Can you imagine an all-White Defense in a state that was 95% black? There'd be riots.

They got darker when Rodriguez left to go to Michigan. During last year's Big East Championship game in Morgantown, there were 10,000+ empty seats. And, shortly thereafter, the AD fired the head coach saying he wanted to "go in a different direction". I wonder if this had anything to do with the attendance or if he was getting a lot of complaints. Hopefully this means they'll Whiten-up some over the next few years and field a team that the majority of West Virginians can relate to.

SportingNews has 2 white starters on Defense....has Phil Steele become a caste-clown??

LB's Branko Busick & Casey Vance(the white Sam Mills)...or addfighting for position??

Would like to see Lindamood tote the rock! Interesting ex-Coach Nehlen grandson now a starting WR....

Can you imagine 9 white starters on D in 95% black state?? Even be a stretch in baseball....

WVU had 7 white starters on offense for the opener against Marshall: the O-line, the TE and WR Nehlen. I didn't see much of Nehlen as the game progressed, and I don't remember Lindamood getting much of a chance at FB, either. The winner of the Friends of Coal game had an all-black D for the weather-shortened contest, although I did see Vance out there at LB a bunch.
