With a big, powerful and fast group, this is the main reason the Mountaineers are in most preseason top 10s. Even with the unexpected losses of Pernell Williams and WVUs most highly touted recruit Jason Gwaltney, the unit just plugs in more names. Well-built Jason Colson is likely returning to the backfield (a slot guy much of 05), but they are good enough that the senior is a back up to emerging sophomore speedster Steve Slaton.
