West Virginia University head coach Neal Brown shared updates following the Mountaineers’ tough 49-35 loss to Baylor. Speaking to the media, Brown reflected on the game’s challenges, key takeaways, and provided insight into the status of wide receiver Traylon Ray, who sustained an injury during the matchup.
“Traylon’s injury is being evaluated,” Brown said. “He’s a big part of our offense, and we’re hopeful it’s nothing long-term.” Ray’s absence was felt in the game, as WVU struggled to maintain offensive momentum in key moments.
The Mountaineers’ defense also had a rough outing, allowing Baylor to exploit gaps and rack up 49 points. Brown acknowledged the team’s defensive lapses, citing missed tackles and miscommunications as critical issues.
Despite the loss, Brown emphasized the need for resilience moving forward. “We didn’t execute well enough, but there’s still a lot of football to be played. We’ll learn from this and get better.”
Looking ahead, WVU will focus on addressing these weaknesses as they prepare for their next game, aiming to bounce back and finish the season strong.
