Are we playing enough guys on defense? It seems like starters get 90% of the snaps on that side of the ball. Is that by design, or do they just not trust the ones behind the starters enough?

A little bit of both is the correct answer here. West Virginia has done a good job getting off the field in many games which has allowed the unit to rest so they aren’t taxed as much as they could be. But there are some issues with trust at some of those positions, notably at the second and third levels.
