DL Will LeBlanc

The defensive line is beat up right now, so LeBlanc got some extended playing time, logging 20+ snaps for the first time this season, and it resulted in his best game as a Mountaineer. He came up with a pair of tackles, one defensive stop (blew up the RB right at the line of scrimmage), and had one pressure on the day. Regardless of where Corey McIntyre Jr. is health-wise, LeBlanc definitely needs to be involved.

LB Miles Khatri

Khatri moved from nickel/sam to linebacker, as we reported in pregame, and he looked like a completely different player. He played faster, more physically, and helped stuff the run. It just seems like a more natural fit for him, and that's because he played the position in high school. Ben Cutter and Isaiah Patterson are the top two, and Cam Torbor will continue to get reps because of his upside, but Khatri has to be in the mix.
