What Gus Malzahn Said About West Virginia

UCF head coach Gus Malzahn discusses this week's matchup with WVU.

Initial thoughts on West Virginia

"A team that has a head coach I've got a lot of respect for. Offensively, they run the football. Defensively, they present some different things. They're number seven in the country in time of possession. They run the football, they get off the field, they're good on third down. They're number fifteen in the country in penalties, so they're a disciplined team." 

WVU exceeding expectations

"When you look at the conference, you knew that from top to bottom there was a lot of really good teams. I think you're seeing that. I mean, they had the Houston game won and they threw up a Hail Mary, and they caught it. They've been really close. They're a really good team and there's no off weeks in this league."

More on Neal Brown

"He's a really good offensive coach. He's a really good football coach, period. At Troy, he did an unbelievable job and he's doing a really good job this year. I think somebody said it that they were picked last and they're not the last-place team. I mean, they're a good football team that could even be better than their record real easy. You turn the film on and you can see. You look at the discipline of their program and that says a lot about him and he's got those guys playing extremely hard."
