Wood to sharpen speed for WVU season opener versus Boston College
West Virginia University coaches anticipate Pete Wood, a key Mountaineer back, will gain speed and better elusive running next fall. Wood, who clocked 4.6 to 4.9 seconds for 40 yards last spring, plans to trim weight to around 190 pounds and improve his open-field moves. He enters his final season just under 1,000 rushing yards with 713 last year while recovering from an early-season Duke injury. Richmond’s Ray Easterling is being touted for All-America honors as he anchors the Spider secondary.
