Coach Dana Holgorsen Press Conference

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University football coach Dana Holgorsen addressed members of the media on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2017, at the Milan Puskar Center Team Room.
Opening statement
We're excited about our five-and-a-half day turnaround from the end of Sunday night until noon on Saturday. It's going to happen quickly, obviously, and we're prepared for that. We're ready to get started. The mood in the locker room after the game, there was a lot of disappointment, especially geared toward the fan base more than anything. Just being able to play in that game was special.
Our players embraced it, our coaches embraced it and the fan base was great. We knew it meant a lot to them. We talked all week and had a bunch of ex-players send some things in to explain to them what it meant. Ex-coaches, ex-players, the fan base, we knew it meant a lot and it meant a lot to our players to play in that game and want to win it for them. So, there is some disappointment that we let everybody down. With that said, it was a heck of a football game. I told our guys to not put their heads down. We're a good football team; Virginia Tech is a good football team. It came down to the last play; they made the play, we didn't. That's unfortunate, but what are we going to do about it? We're not going to hang our heads, we're going to go back home and get started. We had a good day yesterday with meetings and getting our lifting in and recovery. We watched the video and there's a lot of things that we know we can improve on. That's what our goal is this week, to try to identify as much improvement as we possibly can and to get out there and work hard on it to improve and that's what I expect our guys to be able to do.
We have another challenge this week with ECU. It's a funny deal – Coach (Scottie) Montgomery has been there going on his second year and they have guys. They always have. My experience with ECU is back when Skip Holtz was there when I was at Houston. We had some wars back in 2008 and 2009, which is about the same time that West Virginia was playing East Carolina and had some wars with East Carolina. They've been known to take out Power Five schools left and right as we well know. It happened at West Virginia, I believe, back in 2008. It was about the same year they took out Virginia Tech and North Carolina. They've done it consistently throughout their program. They're in some transition right now; a couple of years ago my buddy Ruffin McNeill was there. Pretty much the same group that's running Oklahoma right now was running ECU for three or four years there. But, anyway, they're in a transition right now with Coach Montgomery coming over from Pittsburgh. He was up at the Steelers for a year and then had a couple of different stints at Duke. So, he's a really good offensive mind.
If you look at what they do offensively, they brought in a quarterback from Duke that took over for them in the second half, and I think they figured out what their identity is. They started throwing the ball all over the place, almost 35 passing attempts in one half. That's quite a bit. So, they're throwing that thing all over the place. That's what their receivers are used to, that's what their (offensive) line is used to. They had a hard time running the ball. I know when coach (Lincoln) Riley was there, they had recruited a lot of good receivers – always have. They had one of the top ones in the country a year ago. They have two or three guys running around there that are pretty good. That quarterback is big, and he gets to them as well.
Defensively, they have some really good-looking guys running around everywhere. They lost quite a bit off last year's team, so they're replacing some guys. Losing to James Madison, I discard that. James Madison could beat about anybody in the country right now. They won the national championship last year and haven't lost in a long time. Everybody says you have a team that lost to an FCS school, they must not be very good or whatever it is. I'm going to go ahead and tell you James Madison could play with anybody; they've won a whole bunch of games, and they're extremely well-coached. Just watching that video of James Madison, they have a whole bunch of players and they're doing a good job. But ECU on defense, they look like they've always looked to me. They have a lot of (defensive) linemen, they're big, and they're running around. Their middle linebacker, No. 7, (Jordan) Williams, he made a ton of tackles. (Tim) Irvin out of Miami, the No. 1 kid and nickel, SAM guy, he's running around making all kinds of plays. One of their captains is their free safety. No. 8 (Bobby Fulp), so, they have a lot of guys running around. We're trying to figure out who they are. I'm trying to figure out what exactly they do on defense, because they do a lot of different stuff. They kind of got them out of position, did a lot of blitzing and James Madison greased them for a couple of real long plays.
Special teams-wise, they're good in the kicking game. They have a transfer punter that's interesting. He's averaging almost 50 yards per punt. The kid came in from Eastern Michigan and he launches that thing, which is similar to what we saw last week. They've always had good return guys, so it's going to be a challenge. We're excited about being at home, it's a Gold Rush. I would assume we're going to get a lot of people there and it should be a good day. Hopefully, it's not doing what it's doing out there right now. I think it's supposed to clear off and be good, so we're looking forward to it. The main thing is we can't wait to get back out there and play. That's the bottom line, so we're excited about that.
On if the team has to take a day off during the short week
No, we don't. Obviously, we cleared all this through compliance and everything. We're taking like 12 days and we have like two days off, then we have to go like 12 days and then we have to go two days off. That allowed us to come in yesterday. We didn't practice them like I normally do at night because I wanted longer meetings. But I did want them to come in, feed them, lift them, condition them and then sit them in a room and watch that video. To me, the most important thing after Game One is to sit down and to take your time in watching the video, which is what we did yesterday. Then, we let them go and coaches stayed here all night and got caught up on East Carolina. Today is a normal Tuesday.
On if the analysts helped out this week
Yeah. This would have been hard to do without them. Coaches sit there and claim that they stay up all night and watch film all night. That gets kind of impossible. If you don't sleep, then you're going to fall out of it at some point. So, when we came in yesterday morning, there was a notebook about this big that had everything written down. Yesterday, we watched our video from Sunday night and had meetings with our players and then took that James Madison game and confirmed a lot of things from what they did all last year. It definitely helps.
On if the analysts travel with the team
You can have non-coaching staff members travel. That's no different than Alex (Hammond) and (Ryan) Dorchester.
On if the analysts make a presentation of their work to the coaching staff
Correct. That happened at different times yesterday. I would have those guys come in and give me a report on East Carolina when I had an hour here and an hour there.
On if he thought he played enough players against Virginia Tech
We played 55. We traveled 80 and played 55. In a tight game, 55 is quite a bit. So, we'll take that and say, "This guy needs to play a little more and this guy needs to play a little bit less. I didn't like what I saw out of this guy, let's try that guy who had zero snaps." There's probably another 15 guys that we probably could have played but just didn't feel comfortable playing them in a tight game. You can only travel 70. We traveled 80 because it was a non-conference game. In conference, you can only travel 70. Hopefully, you don't get to the backup snapper, the backup kicker, the backup punter, the backup quarterbacks, a couple of redshirt guys that you're trying to hang on to.
On his takeaways from the Virginia Tech film review
I don't have time to talk about it. I mean there's a lot. There were some good things that happened everywhere, there were some bad things that happened everywhere. Individually, technique, scheme, there's just all kinds of stuff. There were a lot of good things and a lot of bad things.
On if the film revealed some things he didn't know about the team
I would like to think I know our team a little bit, who they are and what they're capable of doing. There really weren't any surprises to me, honestly. We played a good team and we knew their specialists were good, we knew we probably wouldn't win the field positon battle but we just didn't want to lose the game in that phase, which we didn't. We knew it was going to be hard to run the ball against them and it was. We knew they had some skill kids that could do some good stuff and they did. It played out the way I thought it would. It was an evenly-matched game with a great experience and great atmosphere. We had a chance to win there at the end and just didn't get it done.
On sophomore wide receiver Marcus Simms
He'll be ready to roll.
On redshirt senior Grant Lingafelter
He's going to be fine, he's day-to-day.
On if redshirt junior Billy Kinney was hurting against Virginia Tech
He was cramping, which I can't explain. I get how (junior wide receiver) Gary Jennings falls out because he ran over 10 miles. I get him falling out. They had No. 22, who is a really, really good player at safety, I get how he was in full-body cramps. I can't explain how Billy Kinney is having full-body cramps, but he did and it affected his punting. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.
On if he expected such a big game out of junior wide receiver Gary Jennings
Yeah, I did. I just felt like he's ready to take the next step. A lot of that is not my decision, a lot of that is the quarterback sits back there and goes through reads and looks at where he's comfortable throwing the ball and he throws the ball to a specific guy that he feels comfortable with. I've been saying this for three weeks, we have three guys that he's comfortable throwing to. And who'd we throw the ball to? Three guys. So, why are we not throwing it to eight, to 10 like we have in the past? It's because receivers 4-10 are not progressing the way I need them to progress. I don't know how else to put it, I've been saying it for a month. So, how we practiced and the comfort level with the plays we called with (offensive coordinator) Jake (Spavital) and also the comfort level that (redshirt junior quarterback) Will (Grier) has with Gary, we knew we were going to him a lot. We really felt like he was ready to take the next step to be a lead guy, and he did.
On what sophomore wide receiver Marcus Simms can provide to the offense
He helps. He has that speed factor. We played (freshman wide receiver) Reggie (Roberson Jr.) about 30 snaps; he got targeted I think twice. The more he plays, the more (redshirt junior quarterback) Will (Grier) will feel comfortable targeting him. He gives us a speed guy and then Marcus gives us a speed guy that we desperately need at both those wide out positions. We feel good with (junior wide receiver) David (Sills V), we feel good with (redshirt senior wide receiver) Ka'Raun (White) playing outside. We have to have the next guy in there that can stretch it and those guys can do that.
On how it was like to not call plays against Virginia Tech
I didn't know what to do for the first quarter. I was looking for people to talk to. This is a true story, it's funny. I'm literally talking to myself because the worst thing you can do is click over to the offense and start talking. There's communication that has to exist and I've told people to shut up numerous times. "Shut up, I need this guy to talk. Nobody else." So, I knew better than that. I've never done that to (defensive coordinator Tony Gibson). I've flipped over and listened and change of possession stuff or decisions or timeouts or whatever it is. I hear it and I react to it, but I don't have the talk button on. So when I went to that third line, which is special teams, which those guys go back and forth on a lot – you have to go on offense to do a lot of things and have to go defense to do a lot of things. So, I'm sitting there and talking to myself for the whole first quarter. I was just like, "This sucks." So I went over and yelled at (Ryan) Dorchester to just go to the empty line so I had someone to talk to. It was fine, I didn't feel the urge to intervene whatsoever. I thought we had a really good handle on it.
On what he talked about on the empty line
All kinds of stuff.
On what redshirt junior quarterback Will Grier's running ability can add to the offense
We need to get him the ball into other people's hands more than his. Virginia Tech was hard to run the ball against and we forced a bunch and (redshirt senior running back) Justin (Crawford) ended up popping a couple. I thought we did pretty well; we wore them down and got some good yardage running-wise against those guys. We had 250 or something like that, I'm guessing. Last year, they averaged about 110-115, so I thought we ran the ball pretty well against those guys. We don't want Will to carry the ball as much as he did. If it's a couple of quarterback run plays and he gets a first down, then great. But it has to be wide open for him to do that. When the game is on the line, he needs to do anything and everything that he has to do to get first downs, and he did. I knew that about him, he did that at Florida. But we're trying to control that a little bit as much as we possibly can. It doesn't bring a different dynamic to it.
On if he's happy other teams now know that redshirt junior quarterback Will Grier can run the ball effectively
They know they have to account for him. We've done that obviously with Skylar (Howard). We did it very little with Geno (Smith) and wouldn't even think about doing it to Clint (Trickett). But with Skylar, we did it obviously quite a bit. They have to account for it and they know they have to account for Will.
On his thoughts about the officials' emphasis on coach's behavior
I'd really like to sit here and talk about officials. I can if I want to, it's based on who they are. They're not associated with our conference. That, to me, was the biggest deal in the game. They declined like four penalties. We had how many? A lot. I don't agree with a lot of what happened. I thought you had to argue. Evidently not. Here's what it is, I said this on the radio a little bit ago: How many officials are there? Eight? Any of the eight can throw the flag. I wasn't even arguing the call but I stepped out of the box. I stepped out of the box and did one of these deals. Three of them looked at me and didn't do anything and one guy that was all the way down there came running in and threw it at me. I don't know what his problem is, but evidently I did something to p*** him off. He can throw it if he wants.
On if he got a warning before his penalty against Virginia Tech
No, I didn't do anything. How do you get a warning if you don't do anything?
On if he noticed the official turning to him and looking upset
They encourage communication. Coaches encourage communication. Officials encourage communication. So, I was communicating on why I didn't think (freshman safety) Kenny (Robinson) should be called for that personal foul. Because it's loud, there's 80,000 people there and the guy steps out of bounds by this much – because I'm looking at it right here – and he continues to run down the sidelines. So what am I supposed to tell the safety? Just let him go score? So he hit him and I didn't agree with that, so I was just like, "Look, what do you want me to tell him?" He's like, "You can't hit him out of bounds." He's tip-toeing down the sidelines, what do you want me to tell him? He says, "You can't hit him out of bounds." I said, "Yeah, I know, I tell them that all the time. If they're out of bounds then don't hit them." So, that was the communication that was going on.

So, I was communicating on why I didn't think (freshman safety) Kenny (Robinson) should be called for that personal foul. Because it's loud, there's 80,000 people there and the guy steps out of bounds by this much – because I'm looking at it right here – and he continues to run down the sidelines. So what am I supposed to tell the safety? Just let him go score? So he hit him and I didn't agree with that, so I was just like, "Look, what do you want me to tell him?" He's like, "You can't hit him out of bounds." He's tip-toeing down the sidelines, what do you want me to tell him? He says, "You can't hit him out of bounds." I said, "Yeah, I know, I tell them that all the time. If they're out of bounds then don't hit them." So, that was the communication that was going on.
