Office of Title IX, It’s On Us hold consent and sexual assault panel BY CONNOR SCHLEGEL CORRESPONDENT

A panel Tuesday challenged what students know and understand about sexual consent. The Consent and Sexual Assault Discussion was held as part of Diversity Week to allow peer advocates and students to engage in an open discussion about sexual assault on college campuses. The WVU Title IX office and the It’s On Us campaign sponsored the panel, which was moderated by Title IX Specialist Mariana Matthews. “We thought a really great opportunity was to have some of the advocates who are also leaders in SGA, as well as LGBTQ organizations,

to sit on a panel and facilitate a discussion in the middle of the Mountainlair about what consent is,” Matthews said. Participants included former and current peer advocates, Julia Durbin and Christine Jacobs, as well as Student Government Association members like senator Garrett Burgess, Senator Tyler Brewster and President Pro Tempore Erin Heeter, who also serves as a peer advocate. Panelists outlined consent as a multi-dimensional issue with numerous factors necessary to establish consent including verbal assurance and body language. The It’s On Us campaign, a national initiative created by Vice President Joe Biden, urges students to serve as re-

sexual assault. Heeter and other members of the panel also en-

couraged students to engage in conversations about sexuality with one another, saying it will lead students to be less reliant on alcohol when trying to initiate a social encounter. “Sex and sexuality has been so taboo for so long that people want to take a step back when discussing sexual assault,” Heeter said. “A lot of times it’s misconception or undereducated and we’ve learned, especially growing up in West Virginia, I did not get that education. That’s something that we’ve seen as a major gap between high school and college is that people don’t have the proper education to handle how frequent sex and sexuality is in college.” The main goal of the It’s

On Us campaign is to open a dialogue and spread education about sexual abuse and consent on college campuses, and to make students aware of the resources at their disposal. Victims of sexual abuse on campus are encouraged to contact the Title IX office, when comfortable, to report abuse. All reports are completely confidential and the office aims to take steps to provide mental and physical resources to victims affected. The office of Title IX is located at the Suncrest Center on Evansdale. Title IX coordinator James Goins Jr. can be reached through the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at 304-293-5600.

Fireworks fly at second presidential debate BY DANIEL BLAIR STAFF WRITER

Rhetorical jabs abounded on Sunday night in St. Louis, as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump squared off in the second presidential debate. The second encounter between the two candidates, set on the campus of Washington University, was a town-hall style debate, featuring questions from a live audience of undecided voters. “If it was ever a policy election, it is no longer one, it is very much a character-based election,” said political sci-

ence professor David Hauser, “Trump reinforced a lot of the people who believed in him in the first place.” Trump, coming off of a weekend of headlines trumpeting a 2005 video of him bragging about his ability to grab women’s genitals without consent, began with an apology, claiming he regretted his words, but that it was simply “locker-room talk.” The release of the video caused a number of Republican officials, including 2008 presidential nominee John McCain, to withdraw their support for Trump. Attempt-

ing to distract from the negative media coverage, Trump held a pre-debate press conference with three women who have accused the Clinton family of various misdeeds, including Juanita Broaddrick, who claims former president Bill Clinton raped her while he was Attorney General in Arkansas in 1978. Following his apology, Trump hit Clinton hard on a number of issues, referring to her as the “devil” and threatening to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her use of a private e-mail server while Secretary of State. Clin-

ton responded with a review of Trump’s past controversial comments, and reiterated that Trump is unfit temperamentally to be president. “With prior Republican nominees for president, I disagreed with them on politics, policies, principles, but I never questioned their fitness to serve. Donald Trump is different,” Clinton said. On policy, Trump maintained his pledge to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but seemed to back off on banning Muslim immigration, instead calling for “extreme vetting” in place of an outright

ban. He also broke with his running mate, Indiana governor Mike Pence, on Syria policy, refusing to commit to calling for the ouster of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. “I believe we have to get ISIS. We have to worry about ISIS before we can get too much involved,” Trump said. Clinton, for her part, acknowledged the existence of high costs associated with the Affordable Care Act, but maintained her support for the bill, advocating for individual fixes to bring down costs. On Syria, she reiterated her

support for a no-fly zone and dedicated safe zones in the area, as well as targeted strikes against top ISIS commanders. “Donald says he knows more about ISIS than the generals,” Clinton said. “No he doesn’t.” A post-debate CNN/ORC poll found 57 percent of debate watchers thought Clinton won, while 34 percent thought Trump was victorious. To Trump’s benefit, 63 percent of debate watchers believed he exceeded expectations. The third and final presidential debate is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 19.

WVU Muslim Association hosts race, religion and politics forum BY MATTHEW PENNOCK CORRESPONDENT

The rise of domineering political rhetoric along racial and religious lines has been criticized for its potential effect on the people it is used against. Tuesday evening the WVU Muslim Student Association hosted a forum on race, religion and politics and the impact of political rhetoric, specifically as it can be seen in the current election cycle. The forum featured three speakers: Kip Curnutt, an Imam and religious coordinator at the Islamic Center of Morgantown, as well as a political science graduate from WVU; Dalia El Said, a former media and public affairs officer for the Canadian Embassy in Cairo, as well as a journalism graduate student at WVU; and Mouaz Haffar, a Syrian-American medical student at WVU who also

holds a BA in biology with a minor in political science. When asked what led to the rise of such political rhetoric, Curnutt pointed to the media. ”A lot of it is the media’s fault,” Curnutt said. “More people have access to what’s going on, but you reach a point to where it becomes a little bit of a form of entertainment.” Moreover, he explained that people want to be entertained and the media is taking advantage of this. “Politics in America have become like a (disaster) movie and disaster movies are the most entertaining movies,” Curnutt said. “I do not see the mainstream media doing this in a purposeful way. I just see them as bringing the information to the people.” Haffar argues that the media outlets on the far-right and far-left are the ones per-

The WVU Muslim Students Association held a forum on race, religion and politics,as part of Diversity Week in the Mountainlair Tuesday night. petuating the problem by, as Haffar puts it, “pushing people to the extremes.” Haffar argued that the rise in intimidating and harsh

political rhetoric is a result of who America is, as a whole. “I don’t necessarily mean that the media has an agenda, but it’s the format

or the whole system that organically produces this (intimidating political rhetoric) on its own,” Curnutt said. “At the end of the day they have to do what is going to sell the ads and get the attention (of the people). It doesn’t bother me that what Trump is saying is offensive, what bothers me is to see a room of 10,000 people all screaming (in agreement with Trump).” Curnutt also attributes part of the rise in the rhetoric to the sentiment of the people, which he described as worrisome. Furthermore, El-Said said maybe what is to blame is the definition and framing of politicians’ messages, and that politicians will often frame issues in ways to create sentiment toward an issue. “By using these methods,” she said, “you disseminate information and you create a

TTH HEE DA HE DA DA

sentiment inside people and they act around it.” Aside from the media, the forum also discussed examples of intimidating political rhetoric, the most notable examples used being those of Donald Trump. Haffar spoke about how the Trump-rhetoric has put Muslim-Americans in a bad light, insinuating that they may not hold similar American values as everyone else. Haffar, however, stated that Muslim-Americans are just like every other American. “I’m a West Virginian boy,” he said. “I go hunting. I’m pretty southern in a way.” Overall, the forum discussed a plethora of issues on political rhetoric. For more information about the forum check out the Muslim Student Association’s twitter @wvumsa, where the event was live-tweeted.

Governor’s debate round two, a minor improvement? BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

Late Tuesday night, West Virginia governor candidates Jim Justice (D) and Bill Cole (R) sat down for the second governor’s debate. While more specific issues were focused on this time around, the debate focused heavily on the issues of jobs and coal, and continued to do nothing to earn the millennial vote. Justice started the debate on a positive note. “If you’ll just think about it, we have so many things that are right at our fingertips that are available in West Virginia,” he said. “We don’t need to give up on coal.” Then, Justice dropped the ball for the millennial vote when he said, “We need to develop agriculture, we need to develop a niche crop in agriculture.” This isn’t the first time Justice has made this call to action, and what may seem like a great point is more of a slap in the face to this state and its populace. Justice has continuously

used the term “niche crop,” calling for our state to become a hub for the next agricultural resource to profit from. The problem is that Justice uses this term as if there isn’t already a “niche crop” making hundreds of millions in other states: marijuana. This “niche crop” is one that both candidates have refused as an option. It became brutally ironic as Cole tonight said “To take anything off the table is not prudent.” What is phrased in a way to call for the next big thing, in reality is a way to pretend there isn’t already a viable “big thing” available, and continues to disqualify a tried and proven potential economic boom. This rhetoric would be fine if the hundred million dollar elephant in the room had gotten any mention at all, but Tuesday night featured not a single remark from either on the subject. To put this debate into perspective, we were posed multiple questions about whether Jim Justice would continue coaching a high

school sports team if he were to win office, a team whose season extends three weeks into the governor’s term, and without a single significant address of promise scholarships, legalized marijuana, broadband access, brain drain, higher education costs or our states shocking opioid problems. In regards to a state with the highest opioid-related overdoses, we learned more about Justice’s coaching hobby than what either candidate planned to do to combat this. In Huntington this year 26 overdoses were reported in one single four-hour span, and we couldn’t get 26 seconds to talk about it. Our candidates for governor spent more time speaking about the coal industry than on any plans to move on from it as it fades. As our politics continue to center around a dying finite resource, we only see how our state stagnates in the face of significant change, and close our ears to the outside world. Coal is not going to dig us

Democratic candidate Jim Justice, left, shakes hands with Senate Majority Leader Bill Cole R-W.Va. during a gubernatorial debate, Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2016 at the Clay Center in Charleston W.Va. out of the hole we’ve fallen into, even with the recent price increases both candidates mentioned. Coal only just reached its projected levels in the state’s budget, as Cole claimed, but it seems that it’s what our representatives are most concerned about. In the first debate, both

candidates highly praised higher education as the lightning rod of our state, but this too has proven empty politics as it was hardly mentioned in the second debate. Both Justice and Cole seem to think fleeting comments will get our age range to the polls, and they’re surely mistaken.

In The DA’s Oct. 5 edition, we left the gubernatorial candidates a simple question. “Why debate if you don’t address the issues?” But this wasn’t the right question to ask. The real question is “Why debate if you don’t address the real issues?” a question our candidates still haven’t answered.

SGA Topic of the Week: Parking fee increases and their effect on students BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

In its second topic up for discussion, the Student Government Association is asking students: “Would you be willing to accept an increase in student fees in exchange for better parking downtown?”

If you’ve become an expert in finding that single open spot at the Lair, or desperately searching under your seats for meter change, parking has affected you. And probably in a very negative way. Previously reported by The DA, the Department of Trans-

portation and Parking took in $626,992 from select parking violations, and WVU took in nearly $3.9 million from long and short-term parking in the 2015 school year. Why aren’t these dollars already being used to accomadate more parking options?

President E. Gordon Gee said he wants 10,000 more students at WVU. If and when that happens, the parking problems will get even worse. Would you pay student fees for more options? How about to improve existing options? What’s your limit?

While parking is one of Morgantown’s biggest headaches, conceding more money on top of a continuously increasing tuition is nothing I’m willing to consider to improve something that should already be covered by these increases. While the University drains

money from its students, I will not take responsibility for its lack of progress. What do you think? Be sure to bring your thoughts to Hatfield’s at 7:30 on Oct. 12, and if you can’t wait, tweet them @DailyAthenaeum as well.

U92 On the Review: The psychedelic transcendence of GOAT’s “Requim” BY JACKSON MONTGOMERY U92 MEDIA DIRECTOR

As a poor college student, it’s rare that I enjoy an album enough to buy a physical copy. It’s even farther out to find consecutive releases from the same act gracing my record crates, which is why I’m thrilled to say that the Swedish band GOAT’s third and potentially final album, “Requiem,” will be finding its home tucked snugly behind my copies of 2012’s “World Music” and 2014’s “Commune.” Who is GOAT? That’s a damn good question. The closing track on the group’s sophomore effort “Commune” gives meaning to the acronym: “Gathering of Ancient Tribes.” GOAT’s Afro-Oriental psych-rock certainly sounds like the tribal peoples of history (including the Deadheads) coalesced for one giant (insert-your-psychedelic-drugof-choice)-fueled jam session. The Gothenburg-based band, which has never revealed its members identities, performs in homemade robes and masks resembling any number of cultures. They tell an official origin story to complement their face-melting fusion sound. Their original members supposedly come from Korpilombolo, Sweden, where music plays a huge part of the rural town’s culture (think Elkins, WV, for example). The young GOAT members learned to play communally with the elder musicians as they grew up, claiming that the band has existed in various incarnations for decades. They say that centuries ago, a witch doctor came to live in

Korpilombolo and introduced the villagers to a style of voodoo ritual. Their music, and anonymity, is rooted in this spiritual practice as a means of transcendence. “For us, it’s easier to play better when you don’t have any focus on yourself as a person,” a representative of the group told Noisey’s Beverly Bryan in a recent interview. GOAT seeks to rise above the individual ego—a common quest in psychedelic culture— in order to improve their relationships and mentality and unite with each other. Spoken-word samples throughout the group’s recordings provide us with a rich collection of mantras to meditate on this theme of oneness, from the second track they ever released, “Goatman,” to the final track on “Requiem,” “Ubuntu.” This final piece begins with a four minute-long discussion of ubuntu, the African philosophy of human kindness, before recalling the main riff of their very first song on “World Music,” “Diarabi.” Other critics have speculated that the track prior to “Ubuntu,” “Goodbye” is the band’s way of signing off from

the world of music. Julian Marszalek wrote for the Quietus that “GOAT have backed themselves into a cul-de-sac with little room to maneuver.” Having exhausted their repertoire of heavy guitar parts and turned to acoustic experimentation as a means of breaking new ground, it seems likely they may fold. The member who spoke to Noisey even said, “If it ended tomorrow I would be fine with it, and to think like that is what really makes me enjoy it while it lasts.” This peaceful secession shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone though. It fits perfectly into the group’s mystical worldview. Closing with the riff from “Diarabi” just completes the circle. Ever since hearing the scorching West African-style guitar riff that opens that debut release, GOAT’s music has been seared into the deepest parts of my brain, but maybe it’s always been there. Maybe it’s there in your mind too, and everyone who can see beyond themselves, waiting to be born again. If one thing is certain, GOAT doesn’t just write music, they channel it.

Lambert’s journey cut short In 2014, Josh Lambert had the looks of an NFL kicker. He was as strong as any kicker in college football, making 16 field goals of 40-plus yards and four of 50-plus. Lambert was named a Lou Groza Award finalist, awarded to the nation’s best kicker. But after that, it was an up and down time after that is difficult for any individual to endure. Lambert, who’s a Type 1 Diabetic, was diagnosed with mono following the early October bout at Oklahoma in 2015. It kept him out of the weight room for weeks, leading to a struggling year that places little-to-no blame on him.

While the last year has been tough for Lambert, Holgorsen acknowledged his successes as a Mountaineer. “We appreciate everything he’s done here,” Holgorsen said. “He’s had a great career at West Virginia. He has his degree, and we wish him the best moving forward.”

Molina has converted five of his six field goal attempts thus far, with a season-long of 33 yards in the season opening win against Missouri.

Aluri spoke with Managing Editor Jennifer Gardner about the program and his interest in wearable technology. Q. Can you give me an example of the real world experience students receive in the hospitality and tourism management program? A. In Tourism Management, students are doing a group project where they are analyzing the effect of West Virginia floods on the tourism industry. We are working with the Division of Tourism and taking all of the students to individual businesses impacted by the floods, specifically in the tourism industry, and then we are helping them on how to really come back. In other words how to market themselves better and how to tell people that ‘we are ready, we are back in business, and come and visit us,’ and then how to use social media as well, but also their websites. Q. Why do you believe wearable technology is important at the business school? A. I am really passionate about emerging technologies, and part of the reason is we are at a place where academia is following the industry, whereas the industry should be following academia. The driver of technology and innovation is the industry right now, but I want to be a researcher who can use these technologies ahead (of the industry), speak about them, and come back with the best practices before they get to the industry. Because I am using these technologies, I am able to do research on them. Q. How can you use wearable technology in hospitality and tourism management? A. We are looking at how this can change the way consumers use technology. If businesses start using wearables, it’s going to only change the business. But when consumers start using the technology, everything changes. An example is how people are using mobile phones and how that changed the way we market now. We market through mobile by using advertisements on social me-

Assistant Professor Hospitality & Tourism Management dia. I’m more excited about augmented reality. It changes your real world when you are connected to the virtual world. When that happens, people can do so many things, they can share things virtually while they are connected with the real world, and this will change the way businesses have to market to them. Q. How does this change the way businesses must market toward consumers? A. In this day and age, I tell everybody that we live in an experience economy. It is all about creating experiences and that is only possible when you use technology such as augmented reality, specifically in hospitality. Hotels can do so much. A mobile user can share what their location, and share what they want. Eventually in the next few years you will see that you can set up the experience that you want in a hotel. Before you check-in to a hotel, you can tell the hotel what you want, whether you want to interact with your coffee machine, whether you want interact with your blinds or the TV, because everything will be connected to each other. That’s the way I see it in the future. Q. Will this actually benefit the hotel, or just the consumer? A. At the end of the day, this is creating value. I am looking at experiences that are affordable and create a value to the customer so that they are willing to pay more or come back to the business. If you look at augmented reality, it is still too early and expensive, but the idea is to create a customized app for a hotel. For example, there is a lot around Waterfront Place, like the trail and river that runs next to it. So when people are bored in the evening and they are looking for something to do in Morgantown, the hotel can say ‘Hey, we have a game if you want to play and you can use your mobile phone to download the app.’

Crawford becomes “Robin” in duo with Shell BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL Prior to the season, WVU running backs coach JaJuan Seider said if Rushel Shell were to be the “Batman” of the unit, somebody would need to be “Robin.” Well, it seems that junior Justin Crawford has donned the Robin mask and the two are making it work. Through the first four games of the season, Crawford leads the Mountaineers in rushing. He’s accumulated 342 yards, averaging 82.8 yards per game. Shell is right behind Crawford with 251 rushing yards and nine less carries. Crawford’s productiv-

ity is nothing that the WVU coaches are surprised about. They’ve stated what he’s doing on the field is what they’ve been seeing in practice all year. It’s to a point that many question if Crawford should overtake the starting role and the bulk of the carries in West Virginia’s backfield for the duration of the season. Despite Crawford’s output lately, WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen isn’t letting that be the determining factor for the starting job. Shell is still the main guy for the Mountaineers and Holgorsen sees something from Shell he expects from his upperclassmen. “He’s been great, leadership wise,” Holgorsen said. “He’s got a toughness to

On Oct. 1, WVU was driving down the field in the third quarter against Kansas State. The Mountaineers were on KSU’s three-yard line and Shell was called upon to drive it in; Shell was stuffed and ultimately fumbled on the play.

After the turnover, Shell ran to the sidelines and didn’t dwell on the play. He was already focused on the next drive so he could “owe” his team one. The leadership quality is one that Shell knew he was going to have to maintain with a group like this, where he has been a starter and knows how to take charge. “I’m a leader,” Shell said. “At times, I may not want them to, but everyone looks at me…so I just have to embrace that role and be the leader they want me to be.” The relationship betweeb Shell and Crawford is one where they push each other and try to get the upper hand on the other one. “We feed off of each other,” Shell said. “It’s hard

on the both of us, when I’m in, (Crawford’s) like ‘alright, he just broke a 20-yard run, I (have) to get in and break a 20-yard run’.” While on the outside it may seem that it’s a position battle, both Crawford and Shell have played respective roles to get WVU where it is at the moment. They’ve both found a role, with Shell as a threat on short-yardage plays. He has three touchdowns, all within the 25-yard line. Crawford has been explosive, especially with generating positive-yards after contact. “I wouldn’t look into exactly who it is, but why Rus (Shell) goes out there is because he’s that valuable to our team,” Holgorsen said.

WVU returns to No. 1 ranking in three polls BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER

WOMEN’S SOCCER Two weeks since dropping from the top spot in the nation following a double overtime loss to Georgetown, the West Virginia women’s soccer team is again No. 1 in three polls this week. The new ranking follows the team’s definitive 4-0 start in conference play. The No. 1 Mountaineers (12-1-1) have rebounded

since the 1-0 loss to Georgetown, winning five straight games in which the team has 11 goals, while allowing just one. Four games into the Big 12 conference slate, West Virginia is firing on all cylinders. A 3-0 loss from Stanford left a vacancy atop the polls as the Cardinal fell five spots to No. 6 this week. It’s also worth noting that with a 2-0 loss to the Mountaineers last weekend, the Oklahoma Sooners fell out of the Top 25, making WVU the only Big

12 team ranked, with the conference schedule nearly half over. The Mountaineers currently hold first place in the Big 12 standings, searching for a fourth consecutive regular season title. South Carolina sits just behind the Mountaineers at No. 2. And the Gamecocks are still unbeaten, with the team’s only non-win coming in a 1-1 tie to Oklahoma in the season opener. WVU is once again poised for a long post-season run, dominating the

conference since joining in 2012. West Virginia is 30-2-1 in conference games and has never lost a Big 12 conference game at home. Two of the Mountaineers’ final four conference games will be played at Dick Dlesk Stadium. Were West Virginia to win out, the team would be a regional host up until the final four. This could be extremely important in a national championship run as the Mountaineers haven’t lost a match at home in regulation in over 26 months.

Among the remarkable No. 1 ranking, several Mountaineers were given honors this week following wins at Kansas and Iowa State, where opponents combined for four shots on net. Freshman goalie Rylee Foster was awarded Big 12 freshman of the week honors following her fifth shutout of the season. Foster is ranked No. 4 in the nation in goal-against average (0.365) as a true freshman. Defender Kadeisha Buchanan was also named the

WVU student athlete of the week on Monday for her help in preventing scoring in Big 12 games so far. The Mountaineers will be back in action at 7 p.m. Friday as the team hosts Texas Tech. The Red Raiders began the year as the only other Big 12 team in the top 25, but an 8-1-2 start against a weaker non-conference schedule, combined with an 0-3 conference record knocked them out of the top 25 several weeks ago.

WVU struggles to capitalize on opportunities, falls to No. 1 Maryland

Promo Code:

WVU for 10% off!

BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S SOCCER This past Monday night at Dick Dlesk Stadium was electric. The then-No. 22 West Virginia University men’s soccer battled No. 1 Maryland in what was hyped up as “Monday Night Futbol” by the WVU Athletic Department. Fireworks erupted as the Mountaineer starting lineup was announced. The crowd of 2,019 spectators turned out to be the fourth-largest crowd to watch a men’s soccer game in Dick Dlesk Stadium history. All of that hype was not enough, as West Virginia lost to Maryland, 1-0. The loss was the Mountaineers’ third consecutive, but head coach Marlon LeBlanc was not upset with his team’s performance. “If not for Cody Niedermeier standing on his head tonight, he was excellent,” LeBlanc said. “I thought we were really, really good and not just from a statistical standpoint. We put them under a lot of pressure all game long and really shut down a lot of what they do well.” LeBlanc brings up several good points. Niedermeier, Maryland’s keeper, made a career-high eight saves. The Mountaineers had several prime scoring opportunities. In the 15th minute, Jad Arslan came rushing toward the Maryland

Felix Angerer, who led West Virginia with five shots, got two excellent chances to score on headers. In the 16th minute, his header went just to the right of Niedermeier, going out of bounds and narrowly missing the post. Sixteen minutes later, Angerer got another opportunity off of a feed from outside of the goalie box, but his header was right at Niedermeier. West Virginia finished with 15 shots, eight of them on goal. Regardless of the number of opportunities, WVU has failed to take advantage lately. It has not scored a goal since Oct. 1, going two straight games without finding the back of the net. The Mountaineers did an excellent job defensively, holding the Terrapins to a season-low eight shots with only two on goal. Maryland averages 2.42 goals per

game, ranking No. 4 in the NCAA, but only scored once on Monday. The Terrapins’ leading scorer, Gordon Wild, only got two shots off. Neither required West Virginia goalkeeper Jose Santos to make a save. Wild has 10 goals this season, and is tied for fourth-most in the NCAA. “I think there’s a lot to build on,” LeBlanc said. “The ball’s got to bounce our way at some stage. If that’s the No. 1 team in the country, then we’re not far off.” While the Mountaineers have lost three in a row and cannot score suddenly, there is a lot to build on from Monday’s loss. West Virginia showed that it can hang tough with the nation’s top team.
