  If there's one quality that a defensive back must have, it's confidence. Confidence he can make the next play. Confidence that a recent bad play won't be repeated. It's as much mindset as anything, but without it, those players charged with covering the fastest, rangiest offensive weapons the opposing team can muster are dead in the water before the ball is snapped. West Virginia senior defensive back Charles Woods has it, and he isn't shy about discussing it. "We play one of the hardest positions on the field, and if you get beat, you can't let that mess with you. If you do, you are probably going to get beat the rest of the game. You have to have that mindset of what's next," Woods explained.

There's no backing down in the Illinois State transfer, who wanted to prove himself against top-tier competition. "It was to prove to everyone I could play at this level," he said of the reasons for his move to WVU, which came after he earned FCS honorable mention All-America honors after his second season with the Redbirds. "Coming out of high school, I was under recruited, because I didn't fit the eye test. So I wanted to prove to everyone I could play with the best. It gave me a big boost to my confidence, so having made some plays at this level, I think my confidence is through the roof right now." - Charleston Gazette-Mail
