Zac Alley’s days at WVU could be numbered—and Mountaineer Paul has sources on the growing questions surrounding his future. After West Virginia’s 45–42 loss to Iowa State, Rich Rodriguez called the defense “atrocious,” adding fuel to an already heated conversation about what comes next. On this episode of Locked On West Virginia, Paul breaks down what he’s hearing, Mike Casazza’s revealing comments, and why WVU’s defensive struggles could force a major decision.

We examine the mounting pressure on Alley, what remains unconfirmed, and what Rich Rodriguez must address to keep this season from slipping away.
