CHAMPS/LIFE SKILLS

STUDENT SERVICES

The many challenges that today’s college student-athletes face, on and off the playing field, are unmatched in the history of higher education. Unfortunately, many students are not well prepared to face these challenges or encounter life issues that undermine health and success in college. To prepare student-athletes for the demands of college life and beyond, the NCAA developed the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)/Life Skills program. In the spring of 1995, West Virginia University Intercollegiate Athletics initiated its own CHAMPS/Life Skills program. WVU was one of only 170 schools selected by the NCAA to participate in their national pilot program. Five programming “commitment” areas viewed as critical to personal growth are part of WVU’s model. They are: 1) academic excellence, 2) personal development, 3) career development, 4) athletic excellence, and 5) community service. For more information, see WVU intercollegiate athletics psychologist Dr. Ed Etzel in Room 275a in the Coliseum at (304) 293-7062 or online at http://www.msnsportsnet.com/page. cfm?section=12102

HALL OF TRADITIONS

The place to be on fall Saturdays is Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. The atmosphere is unmatched across the country. The game-day experience in Morgantown is truly special.

ðð ðð ðð ðð ðð ðð

Some of the most serious tailgating in the country begins the day The cheerleaders and nationally famous Pride of West Virginia Mountaineer Marching Band start the pregame festivities The playing of Country Roads ends the day by celebrating another Mountaineer victory When you’re a Mountaineer football player, you are loved by an entire state and the Mountaineer nation The atmosphere intensifies for a night game in Morgantown Thursday night national television games in Morgantown are matched by no other school in the country

GAME DAY IN MORGANTOWN

Mountaineer strength and conditioning is an intense, every day commitment. There is no such thing as a part-time champion.

ðð

The goal of the strength and conditioning staff is to provide the student-athletes with the best “hands-on” strength and conditioning program in the country

ðð ðð ðð ðð ðð ðð

The staff’s goal is to be outstanding teachers, especially in the areas of safety, technique and nutrition WVU nutritionists give guidance on proper eating habits The staff demands intensity and effort with the goal of training the players to be fast, strong and a complete athlete All training regimens are prepared with the goal in mind to demand discipline and mental toughness The staff’s goal is to develop a strong, powerful athlete using a variety of resistance training movements With their core development, the staff wants to develop power and speed, decrease injuries and give the athletes functional training

IRON MOUNTAINEERS

ðð ðð ðð

The philosophy is to develop a strong, fast, powerful athlete Each player has a workout plan relevant to his particular position so that he can maximize his athletic ability on the field Dynamic/functional warmups and movements are incorporated into every speed, agility, conditioning and weight training session

ðð ðð ðð

Training in the spacious 22,000-square foot strength center at the Puskar Center, the options are almost endless In the heat of the summer, there is no challenge like running the infamous Law School Hill Every school in America develops its athletes from the neck down, but at WVU, the Mountaineers build excellence in both the physical and mental aspects of the game

ðð

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary

Tackles For Loss

Senior linebacker Najee Goode returns as the only starting linebacker for the Mountaineers this season. After starting 11 games at strong-side linebacker in 2010, Goode will see action at the strong-side once again or could be moved to the weak-side. Forced into the Mountaineers’ starting lineup due to injuries last season, Goode produced for WVU. He ranked third on the team in tackles for loss (8.5), and eighth on the team in total tackles (47). He also had three sacks, one forced fumble and four pass breakups. Goode led the Mountaineers at Marshall with a team-best 10 tackles, including two solo stops. Additionally, he made an open field tackle for a loss of eight yards on Marshall’s first play of the overtime session. The play ultimately led to a Marshall missed field goal, and a Mountaineer win. He completed the game with two tackles for loss for nine yards. Goode had a tremendous game against USF, where he recorded three tackles, while also recording two sacks for a loss of 17 yards.

The Mountaineer defense was in full attack mode during the 2010 season, finishing with 87 tackles for loss, an average of 6.7 TFL’s per game.

West Virginia finished with seven or more tackles for loss in seven contests during the 2010 season, including a seasonhigh 10 tackles for loss twice against USF and Rutgers. The Mountaineers finished with nine tackles for loss against Maryland and UNLV and eight against Cincinnati and at Louisville. Bruce Irvin and Julian Miller led WVU with 14 tackles for loss each, tying for the fifth-best single season performance in school history.

Quarterback Sacks

The Mountaineer defense was the top sack force in the BIG EAST and No. 2 in the nation. WVU collected 45 sacks, averaging 3.5 sacks a game. The Mountaineers finished with four or more sacks in seven games during the 2010 season.

Scooter Berry and Sidney Glover each had four sacks, and Najee Goode and Chris Neild each finished with three. The season-high eight sacks collected against Maryland tied the eight WVU accumulated against Pitt in 2006 and was the most since Idaho in 2000, when the WVU defense finished with 12.

Standout on Defensive Line

Senior Julian Miller returns for his final season on the defensive line. After starting the past two years at defensive end, he is being moved to defensive tackle this spring. As one of the stalwarts on the line in 2010, Miller was the sixth leading tackler for the Mountaineers with 54 total tackles, including 28 unassisted tackles, nine sacks, 14 tackles for loss, one forced fumble and three pass breakups.

Miller is currently No. 4 on WVU’s career sack list and tied for No. 5 on the all-time tackle for loss list.

The Sack Man

Defensive end Bruce Irvin was as good as advertised finishing the 2010 season as the BIG EAST leader (14) and was No. 2 in the nation. His season totals include 21 tackles, including 18 unassisted stops, 14 sacks, two pass breakups and two forced fumbles. He also was tied for No. 4 in the BIG EAST in tackles for loss. Irvin, named an honorable-mention AllAmerican by SI.com and a second team all-BIG EAST selection, registered multiple sacks in five games last year, including a season high three against Maryland. He also finished with at least one sack in eight games and two sacks against Connecticut, Louisville, Rutgers and NC State.

A Goode Linebacker

Top Tackler

Terence Garvin returns for his junior season as the starter at spur safety. He had an impressive sophomore season, leading the Mountaineer defense in tackles with 76, which ranked him No. 16 in the BIG EAST. For the season, his state line read 76 tackles, five tackles for loss, four pass breakups, one sack, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. Garvin registered five or more tackles in eight games last year. He started the season strong by leading the team in tackles against Coastal Carolina with 10, including a tackle for loss, four solo tackles and six assists. He was named the defensive player of the week by the coaching staff for his performance in the season-opener, and received the honor again in the USF game. He registered seven solo tackles against USF, seven assisted tackles at Marshall and seven total tackles against UNLV and at Connecticut.

Swipe Leader

After starting at the right cornerback position for the past two seasons, senior Keith Tandy has moved to the other side of the field as the left cornerback. He has played in 32 games in his career and started 27, tying with Julian Miller and Don Barclay for the most career games started by a returning player. A first team all-BIG EAST selection, he was named a second team All-America selection by SI.com and a third team honoree by rivals.com.

Dana Holgorsen Head Coach

he Dana Holgorsen era at West Virginia University officially began on June 10, when he was named the school’s 33rd head football coach. Since that time, he has been non-stop in his efforts to

tell anyone who will listen what Mountaineer football has to offer and what lies ahead for the program. “I am excited about the opportunity, and I am honored to become the head coach at West Virginia,” Holgorsen said. “I appreciate the confidence that Oliver Luck, the University and the Mountaineer supporters have shown in me, and I look forward to continuing the tradition of excellence at West Virginia. Holgorsen arrived in Morgantown in December, bringing with him a highly successful resume, which included a fast-paced, high-flying, top-shelf scoring offense with national appeal that Mountaineer nation wanted so badly for its program. “As I said when I introduced Dana as our offensive coordinator and head coach-designate, he is ready for this challenge and undoubtedly the huge responsibility that goes along with it,” WVU director of athletics Oliver Luck said. “I have complete confidence in his ability to coach this team and lead us into the next chapter of Mountaineer football. I firmly believe our fans will see an exciting brand of football and will be pleased with the product on the field.” The players bought into his plan during the spring, as he and his staff installed the system. By the end of April, the offense scheme had shown signs of a complete metamorphosis, looking completely different than it had in previous years. Fast-forward six months from that initial meeting in December and the reins of the entire Mountaineer program are entrusted to Holgorsen. Since his hiring, he has been working hard to unite the Mountaineer Nation from the coaches to the players, and administrators and the fans. “I have complete confidence in the remaining defensive staff to continue to do what they’re doing,” Holgorsen said. “The offensive staff, as far as the guys I brought in to help get things rolling, none of that will change. We will be united as coaches. We will be united as players, administrators, fans to help bring championships here to Morgantown. “Mountaineer fans, alumni and former players; this is your team. The West Virginia University football team is way bigger than me, it’s way bigger than any former coach, former player or current player, it’s way bigger than any of that. This is something that we need to live up to as players and coaches. It is the fans, the alumni and the former players’ team.” Before coming to Morgantown, Holgorsen spent last year as the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State. He was a finalist for the 2010 Broyles Award, given to the nation’s top assistant football coach, and also named the rivals.com Offensive Coordinator of the Year. The Cowboys led the nation in total offense during the regular season and finished No. 2 in passing offense and No. 3 in total and scoring offense. OSU averaged 520.23 yards per game in total offense, including 345.9 passing yards and 44.23 points per game. Oklahoma State’s offense ranked No. 61 nationally in total offense in 2009, the year before Holgorsen arrived, and he took it to the No. 1 spot during the 2010 season. He was a vital member of the coaching

““ DANA HOLGERSON

What People Are Saying About

DANA HOLGORSEN

“West Virginia landed one of the dynamic coaching minds in the game today. Dana Holgorsen understands the game of football; he adjusts rapidly in game situations, and he was an integral part of our success at Texas Tech. He will have his teams prepared, playing fast and playing at a high level. Mountaineer fans will enjoy his brand of football, and players will enjoy playing for him.” Mike Leach College Football Radio & TV Analyst Former Head Coach - Texas Tech

“Dana Holgorsen was always a bright player and is now a genius as a coach. He is a great fit for West Virginia. He understands offensive football as well as anyone in the country. He stresses fundamentals and reps and can make a game plan come to fruition. I’ve known him since he was in high school. His family is full of great people who have been successful in everything they have done. He was brought up with great Midwestern values and his leadership skills were evident back to his playing days. He was a leader on the field as a player and as a young assistant coach.” Hal MUMMe Head coach McMurray University Former Head Coach - Iowa Wesleyan, Valdosta State

“Dana has been highly successful at every stop along his career. Not only does he have a brilliant offensive mind, but the ability to get the best out of his players. There is no doubt that with Dana’s vision, West Virginia will be an exciting team to watch in the coming years.” Kevin Sumlin Head Football Coach Houston

“Dana Holgorsen is the sharpest offensive mind working in college football right now. As soon as I heard he was taking over the WVU offense, I was convinced that his QB - Geno Smith - was going to be in Heisman Trophy contention. Holgorsen also just made Mountaineer football “must-see” TV. They are going to score a lot of points and be a whole bunch of fun to watch. He is that kind of impact coach.” Bruce Feldman ESPN.com

“Dana’s time has arrived, and I can’t wait. He is one of the brightest offensive minds in the nation, a true innovator whose cutting-edge offenses have consistently ranked among the best in the nation in recent seasons.” Tom Dienhart rivals.com

“At Oklahoma State, Dana Holgorsen inherited a 27-year old QB who hadn’t started a game since 2001. By the end of the spring practice period, it was apparent that Brandon Weeden would thrive in the Holgorsen offense. By the end of the 2010 season, Weeden had broken every significant school record for single season passing. The players raved about the simplicity of Dana’s offense. Coached directly by Dana, Weeden and his backups improved dramatically. Dana Holgorsen was at OSU for only one season, but he left an indelible fingerprint on the offensive culture of the program.” Bill Haisten Tulsa World

“The Big 12 was never the same offensively after Dana Holgorsen arrived at Texas Tech with Mike Leach in 2000. From a power running conference, the Big 12 was transformed into a dynamic offensive league through the imaginative minds of coaches like Holgorsen.” Blair Kerkhoff Kansas City Star “Dana Holgorsen will bring the offense, the attitude and the stats. This was the right hire at the right time; he’ll make Mountaineer games must-see TV. Let the fireworks begin.” Pete Fiutak CollegeFootballNews “Few in the game know offense like Holgorsen, a gym rat of a coach who is always looking for the next way to expose defenses. His system is overwhelmingly successful, and his players swear by his ability to have them prepared week after week.” Matt Hayes Sporting News

“Dana Holgorsen engineered Houston’s and then Oklahoma State’s scoring juggernauts with innovative schemes and excellent use of his personnel. While he was still at UH, basketball coach Tom Penders remarked that Holgorsen was one of the rising stars in college football and it was just a matter of time before he landed a head job at a big program. He certainly was right about him.” Steve Richardson FWAA Executive Director Former Sports Reporter at Dallas Morning News

“Dana Holgorsen is one of the great offensive minds in college football. Everywhere he goes huge numbers follow. After great success at Houston, he took over an Oklahoma State offense that had lost its quarterback, a star receiver and several offensive linemen and appeared to be facing a rebuilding process. That process was completed by the time the season started. The Cowboys were the third highest-scoring team in the nation. That’s not a fluke. That’s Holgorsen’s influence. Now that he’s at West Virginia look for the Mountaineers at the top of the national scoring rankings.” Olin Buchanan rivals.com

GAME ONE

est Virginia started the 2010 football season off with a 31-0 shutout of Coastal Carolina at Milan Puskar Stadium. The stingy play of the Mountaineer defense brought the first shutout for West Virginia since 2005 and the first home shutout since 1997. The Geno Smith era at quarterback got started on solid ground as the sophomore completed 20 of 27 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns. Smith’s passing totals were the second-best by a WVU QB in his starting debut during the last 13 seasons. The Smith-led offense took the game’s opening drive and marched 73 yards in 16 plays to get the scoring started. On fourthand-goal, Smith connected with receiver J.D. Woods for a four-yard touchdown pass and a quick 7-0 WVU advantage. Early in the second quarter, West Virginia extended its lead to 100, when kicker Tyler Bitancurt connected on a 21-yard field goal to end a seven-play, 55-yard drive. Coastal Carolina’s best chance to score in the first half came when Dominique Davenport intercepted a Smith pass and returned it 37 yards to the WVU 21-yard line. However, on the next play, WVU’s Brandon Hogan intercepted Coastal quarterback Zach McDowall in the end zone to keep the Chanticleers scoreless heading into the half. Two scores by West Virginia in the third quarter put the game away. First, Jock Sanders hauled in a 17-yard touchdown strike from Smith at the 13:32 mark, which was set up when Robert Sands forced a Chanticleer fumble on the second half kickoff, which was recovered by WVU’s Darwin Cook at the Coastal 19-yard line. With just 1:44 left in the third, fullback Ryan Clarke dove over from the one-yard line to give the Mountaineers a 24-0 lead. Clarke’s score ended a strong nine-play, 75-yard drive for the Mountaineers, highlighted by Smith completions of 19 and 33 yards to his receivers. West Virginia closed out the game’s scoring with 14:11 left when tailback Noel Devine scored his first touchdown of the season and 25th of his career. Devine’s four-yard run ended a 62-yard drive by the Mountaineers, as he rushed for 55 of the 62 yards in the drive. The Mountaineer defense halted four more Coastal Carolina possessions in the final quarter to preserve the opening day shutout that saw 68 Mountaineers play in the game. Aside from Smith’s solid numbers, Devine totaled 111 yards rushing on 23 carries for a 4.8 yards per carry average. Devine’s totals marked his 16th career 100-yard rushing game, and WVU improved to 13-3 all-time when he rushes for 100 or more yards. Sanders rushed for 31 yards and caught a game-high eight passes for 71 yards. Receiver Tavon Austin caught five passes for 90 yards with a long of 33, while Woods’ first collegiate catch was good for the game’s first score. The Mountaineer defense was led by safety Terence Garvin with 10 tackles, followed by linebacker Anthony Leonard and defensive lineman Julian Miller with six. West Virginia rushed for 184 yards and passed for 216 to total an even 400 yards of total offense. The Mountaineer defense played a huge role in the game, holding the Chanticleers to just 63 yards rushing, 123 yards passing and 186 yards of total offense. Coastal Carolina averaged just 1.9 yards per rush and 3.1 yards per play against the veteran Mountaineer defense. The 31-point win was the largest margin of victory for a Bill Stewart-led team at West Virginia. WVU is 59-1 in its last 60 games when scoring more than 30 points. The Mountaineers improved to 95-29-4 all-time in season openers and 93-18-2 all-time in home openers. Since the 2000 season, West Virginia is now 11-0 all-time against NCAA FCS opponents.

GAME TWO

est Virginia rallied from a 15-point deficit in the final 8:28 of the game to force overtime and defeat Marshall, 24-21, in the Friends of Coal Bowl. Needing two big drives late in the fourth quarter, the Mountaineer offense responded with a nine-play, 96-yard drive, followed by an 18-play, 98-yard drive to stun the Marshall faithful and record the come-from-behind victory. Marshall started quickly and took the opening kickoff 80 yards in just six plays for a 7-0 lead, when quarterback Brian Anderson hit Antavious Wilson on an eight-yard scoring strike. The scoring drive was highlighted by a 55-yard run by Thundering Herd tailback Martin Ward. West Virginia responded on its first drive, marching 42 yards in nine plays and coming away with a 34-yard Tyler Bitancurt field goal to cut the Herd lead to 7-3 with 7:31 remaining in the opening quarter. West Virginia’s offense continued to move the ball in the first half, but the Mountaineer drives eventually stalled, while Marshall hit for the big play. At the 11:15 mark of the second quarter, the Herd was backed up to its own four-yard line when Anderson unleashed a bomb and connected with receiver Aaron Dobson for a 96-yard touchdown pass, giving Marshall a 14-3 lead at the half. West Virginia’s Tavon Austin returned the second half kickoff 50 yards, but a fumble on the second play of scrimmage cost the Mountaineers a chance at points. WVU then used a Bitancurt 33yard field goal to put the score at 14-6 in favor of the Herd, but that was all the scoring for either team in the third quarter after Marshall blocked a Bitancurt field goal attempt at the 2:35 mark. The Herd used the blocked field goal to its advantage and marched 68 yards to open a 21-6 advantage at the start of the fourth quarter, when Anderson found Wilson for his second TD reception in the game. The two teams traded drives before Marshall seemed in total control by forcing a Geno Smith fumble at the 10:17 mark of the fourth. But, the Mountaineers gained new life when the Herd’s Tron Martinez fumbled deep in WVU territory with 8:28 left in the contest. Nine plays later, WVU tailback Noel Devine rushed in from fouryards away to cut the Herd lead to 21-13. The Mountaineer defense needed a stop and got it, as the Herd returned the ball at the 3:09 mark of the fourth with the Mountaineers 98 yards away from the end zone. Highlighting the 15-play drive was a Smith rush for 20 yards, and the sophomore quarterback completed nine-of-12 passes in the drive, finding tight end Will Johnson in the back of the end zone for a five-yard score with just 12 seconds left. Smith then hit Jock Sanders for the two-point conversion to complete the comeback and force overtime. In the first overtime, WVU drove to the three, and came away with a 20-yard field goal by Bitancurt. Marshall was stopped after three plays and was forced to try a 39-yard field goal, and the game ended Tyler Warner’s attempt went wide right and silenced the Joan C. Edwards Stadium record crowde of 41,382. Smith finished with 316 yards passing and Devine with 112 rushing as the Mountaineers totaled 469 yards of total offense. WVU collected 194 yards in 24 plays on their final two drives in regulation. Linebacker Najee Goode led the defense with 10 stops. For the Herd, Anderson passed for 229 yards and Dobson led all receivers with 120 yards as Marshall finished the game with 364 yards of total offense. Linebacker Mario Harvey was strong with 16 tackles. With the win, West Virginia upped its record to 10-0 all-time against Marshall and 3-0 all-time in Huntington.

GAME THREE

est Virginia started quickly and never looked back in defeating Maryland 31-17 in front of 60,122 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith completed his first 10 passes and engineered four scoring drives en route to a 28-0 lead. The Mountaineer defense held Maryland to -10 yards rushing, while collecting eight sacks for a loss of 65 yards and nine total tackles for a loss of 66 yards in a strong overall performance. By taking the game’s opening drive 77 yards in seven plays, West Virginia jumped out to a 7-0 lead, when Smith hit receiver Tavon Austin in the corner of the end zone for a six-yard scoring pass. On its next possession, West Virginia went up 14-0 when Smith found Austin in the same corner, this time from five-yards out at the 8:09 mark of the first quarter. This drive accounted for 51 yards in five plays. In the second quarter, West Virginia extended its lead to 21-0 at the 12:35 mark, when Smith threw his third touchdown pass in the game, a 26-yard strike to Stedman Bailey, to end a 62-yard drive, and give the Mountaineers a 21-0 lead at the half. The first half was totally dominated by the Mountaineers and not only on the scoreboard. WVU out rushed the Terrapins 119-2 and out passed the Terps 226-61 in building up the 21-point cushion. The storyline continued at the start of the second half. After forcing Maryland to punt on downs, West Virginia’s Jock Sanders returned a punt 66 yards to set up WVU’s fourth score in the game. Smith connected on his fourth touchdown pass in the contest, when he hit Bailey from five-yards out for a 28-0 West Virginia advantage. Down 28, Maryland came to life and scored 17 unanswered points to make the game interesting in the fourth quarter. Terp quarterback Jamarr Robinson connected with receiver Torrey Smith for a 60-yard touchdown reception, and then followed two drives later with an 80-yard touchdown bomb to Smith to cut the deficit to 28-14 heading into the fourth quarter. After Maryland intercepted a WVU trick pass from Sanders, the Terps were in business again and came away with a 35-yard field goal by Travis Baltz to put the score at 28-17 in favor of WVU with 11:59 left in the game. However, the trick plays were over and the West Virginia offense embarked on a power drive that essentially put the game away. The Mountaineers used up 8:46 of clock in a 16-play, 76-yard drive that ended with a 23-yard Tyler Bitancurt field goal for a 31-17 lead. Fullback Ryan Clarke was key in the drive as he accounted for 43 of the 76 yards, and rushed on eight straight plays to power the West Virginia offense down the field and put the game away.

GAME FOUR

SU took advantage of two West Virginia turnovers to defeat the Mountaineers, 20-14, before 92,575 fans at Tiger Stadium. Along with the miscues, LSU also used a 60-yard punt return from Patrick Peterson to jump out to a 17-0 lead in the second quarter, before the Mountaineers got on track and made a game of it in the second half. West Virginia had the first scoring opportunity after cornerback Keith Tandy intercepted a Jordan Jefferson pass. The WVU offense then marched 67 yards in nine plays, but came away empty when kicker Tyler Bitancurt’s 28-yard field goal attempt was blocked. The first points in the game came when the Tigers capitalized on a Mountaineer fumble at their own seven-yard line. Four plays later, Stevan Ridley powered in from one-yard away for a 7-0 LSU lead. On its next possession, West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith was picked off by Tyrann Mathieu at the Mountaineer 41-yard line, which led to a 49-yard Tiger field goal by Josh Jasper, giving LSU a 10-0 lead at the 11:54 mark of the second quarter. Three plays later, LSU grabbed a commanding 17-0 lead when the Tiger defense forced West Virginia to punt and Peterson returned Greg Pugnetti’s punt 60 yards for the score. West Virginia’s offense got on the scoreboard with 0:48 left in the half when Smith connected with receiver Stedman Bailey for a five-yard score, ending a 10-play, 53-yard drive and cutting the LSU lead to 17-7. The Mountaineers capitalized on the big play early in the third quarter when defensive back Eain Smith intercepted Jefferson on the opening possession and returned the ball 38 yards to the LSU 15-yard line. Two plays later, West Virginia cut LSU’s lead to 17-14 when Smith hit for his second touchdown pass in the game, this time to receiver Jock Sanders on a 13-yard toss. However, three points was as close as the Mountaineers would come as the Tigers extended their lead back to six, 20-14, at the 14:56 mark of the fourth quarter on Jasper’s 23-yard field goal. While the Mountaineer defense continued to hold the Tiger offense off the board for the rest of the fourth quarter, the offense could not do anything with the bigger and faster LSU defense. Trailing just 20-14, West Virginia’s offense had three possessions in the fourth quarter to try and take the lead and finish out the comeback, but could not produce any points against the vaunted Tiger defense. Final numbers in the game showed West Virginia star tailback Noel Devine with just 37 yards on 14 carries as he battled a toe injury suffered in the first quarter. Smith finished with 119 yards passing and two scores, while Jock Sanders led the Mountaineer receivers with five catches for 47 yards. Safety Robert Sands led the West Virginia defense with nine tackles and one tackle for loss of six yards. For LSU, tailback Stevan Ridley finished with 116 yards rushing and one score. Jefferson passed for just 75 yards with 38 of them going to receiver Rueben Randle on his four catches. Linebacker Kelvin Sheppard led the LSU defensive effort with 11 stops. Final totals showed West Virginia with 58 yards rushing and 119 passing for 177 yards of total offense. LSU managed just 80 yards passing against the WVU defense, but countered that with 150 yards rushing to total 230 yards of offense.

est Virginia stormed out to a 21-point first-quarter lead and never looked back in defeating UNLV, 49-10, before 58,234 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. It took just three plays into the game’s opening possession for West Virginia to start the scoring as sophomore quarterback Geno Smith connected with receiver Brad Starks for a 38-yard scoring toss, giving WVU a 7-0 lead. On its next possession, the Mountaineers scored again when senior tailback Noel Devine broke loose for a 28-yard scamper for a 14-0 lead with 10:31 left. The Mountaineers would add another score before the opening stanza ended at the 4:42 mark when Jock Sanders raced in from 10-yards away for a 21-0 WVU lead. The score was set up by an interception from Keith Tandy, his first of two in the game. Second-quarter action saw the Mountaineers add 14 more points to their total. At the 9:49 mark, Devine broke loose for a 48-yard scoring jaunt to end a five-play, 67-yard drive, and Starks caught his second touchdown pass in the game, when Smith found him 48-yards down field for a 35-0 West Virginia lead at the intermission.

With West Virginia up 42-0, UNLV scored the next 10 points to wipe away any chance of a WVU shutout. Kicker Nolan Kohorst converted on a 39-yard field goal with just 0:24 seconds left in the third, before the Rebels scored their only touchdown with 9:40 left in the contest, when Tim Cornett hauled in a six-yard scoring pass from Caleb Herring.

West Virginia ended up playing 68 players in the game and was led by Devine in rushing with 84 yards on three carries. Smith had a strong day passing, completing 12-of-16 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns. Starks’ career day ended with four catches for 100 yards and the three touchdown receptions. West Virginia’s defensive effort was led by Sidney Glover, Pat Miller and Terence Garvin, all with seven tackles in the victory.

Quarterback Omar Clayton passed for 79 yards before being relieved by Caleb Herring, who finished with 101 yards passing. Receiver Austin Harrington led the Rebles with 34 yards receiving, while the defense was paced by John Therrell, Tani Maka, Ronnie Paulo and Calvin Randleman with four tackles each. Final totals in the game showed West Virginia with 219 yards rushing and 226 passing for 445 yards of total offense. UNLV finished with 96 yards on the ground and 180 through the air for 276 yards of offense. The win finished the non-conference portion of WVU’s 2010 schedule with the Mountaineers going 4-1.

GAME SIX

ehind a strong defensive effort, West Virginia won its BIG EAST season-opener with a 20-6 victory over USF in front of a Thursday night ESPN audience, The stingy Mountaineer defense held a potent USF offense to just two field goals. At the half, the Bulls had 94 total yards as the WVU defense gave the Mountaineer offense a chance to jump out early. West Virginia’s offense took advantage of the strong defensive effort and jumped out to a 10-0 first quarter lead. WVU sophomore kicker Tyler Bitancurt got the scoring started on the game’s opening drive, when he converted a 27-yard field goal for a 3-0 West Virginia lead. The Mountaineers moved the ball 70 yards in 11 plays. On its second drive, West Virginia scored again, when sophomore quarterback Geno Smith threw a strike to receiver Brad Starks for a 31-yard touchdown reception and a 10-0 lead with 2:06 left. Smith moved the offense 80 yards in just nine plays for the score, and Starks caught his fourth touchdown pass past two games. Early in the second quarter, it was South Florida’s turn to get on the scoreboard, when the Bulls took advantage of a 55-yard kickoff return from Lamar Lindsey to the WVU 45-yard line. From there, the Bulls moved 27 yards, and kicker Maikon Bonani’s 36yard attempt was good to put the score at 10-3 with 13:33 left. Neither team was able to do much for the remainder of the quarter until the closing minute, when USF quarterback B.J. Daniels was intercepted by Robert Sands with 0:52 left. With his 28-yard return, the Mountaineers had the ball on the USF seven-yard line. West Virginia struck quickly as Smith completed a pass to Jock Sanders, who then lateraled it to a streaking Noel Devine for a perfect execution of the hook and ladder play and a 17-3 Mountaineer advantage at the half. South Florida took advantage of the second half’s opening drive by moving 50 yards in 11 plays and capping it off with a 47yard field goal from Bonani, cutting its deficit to 17-6. But that would be as close as the Bulls would come, as West Virginia answered the field goal with one of its own and then put the game in the capable hands of the Mountaineer defense. Taking up 6:50 on the clock, West Virginia engineered a 14-play, 66-yard drive to answer the USF field goal with a 24-yarder from Bitancurt for a 20-6 lead. The drive was kept alive by three third-down conversion passes from Smith, who at one point midway through the second to third quarters had completed 13 passes in a row to tie the WVU record with NFL standout and WVU Hall of Famer Marc Bulger. A 14-point lead was more than enough as the WVU defense took over and held the Bulls scoreless the rest of the way. Leading the WVU defense was cornerback Keith Tandy with 10 tackles and one interception. Tandy has collected four interceptions in the last three games. Overall, the unit collected three interceptions, 10 TFLs and five sacks. Offensively, Smith passed for 219 yards and Sanders hauled in 10 catches. USF was led by receiver Dontavia Bogan with a game-high 11 receptions for 98 yards. Daniels finished with 119 yards passing, and DeDe Lattimore led a solid USF defensive effort with 11 stops. West Virginia rushed for 79 yards and passed for 219 to total 298 yards of offense. South Florida was held to just 65 yards rushing and 137 passing for 202 yards of total offense.

GAME SEVEN

yracuse took advantage of three West Virginia interceptions to upset the No. 20-ranked Mountaineers, 19-14, in front of 58,122 on Homecoming at Milan Puskar Stadium. West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith threw the first of his three interceptions on the game’s third play as Orange linebacker Doug Hogue picked off a pass on 3-and-5 and returned it nine yards to the West Virginia 26-yard line. Syracuse managed a first down, but the Mountaineer defense held and forced the Orange to go for a 28-yard field goal, which kicker Ross Krautman converted for a 3-0 lead. Smith and the Mountaineer offense bounced back and put together a nine-play, 71-yard scoring drive on its next possession. Smith found receiver Tavon Austin open in the back of the end zone for a six-yard scoring toss and a 7-3 WVU advantage. The Orange answered back in a big way on its next possession. After a 30-yard kickoff return, it took just five plays for quarterback Ryan Nassib to find receiver Van Chew behind the Mountaineer secondary for a 29-yard touchdown reception and a 10-7 Orange lead with 5:21 left in the opening quarter. West Virginia answered the score before the end of the quarter by taking advantage of a Noel Devine 32-yard run and a 17-yard completion from Smith to receiver J.D. Woods. The seven-play, 67-yard drive was capped off by a one-yard run from fullback Ryan Clarke for a 14-10 Mountaineer lead. Little did West Virginia know at the time that Clarke’s touchdown would be its final points of the sunny October day. Perhaps the key turning point in the game occurred with 1:47 left in the opening frame after the West Virginia score. Syracuse’s Max Suter fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and West Virginia recovered the ball at the Orange 34-yard line. The Mountaineers moved the ball down to the eight before Smith was intercepted in the end zone by Philip Thomas to end the scoring threat. Second-quarter action belonged to Syracuse as the Mountaineers could not get anything offensively going, and the Orange tacked three field goals on the board. After Thomas’ interception, Nassib marched the Orange 71 yards in just seven plays to pull within one at 14-13, when Krautman hit for a 19-yard field goal. The two teams then traded possessions until Syracuse got on the board again at the 3:43 mark, when Krautman made good on a 33yard field goal for a 16-14 Orange advantage. In the drive, a WVU interception by cornerback Keith Tandy was negated by a pass interference call, and the Orange proceeded to move 31 yards for the go-ahead score. Smith’s third interception of the half came on WVU’s next possession, giving the ball back to the Orange with just 0:58 left. Hogue picked off his second pass and returned it 49 yards to set up Krautman’s fourth field goal, this time, from 22 yards out for a 19-14 Syracuse lead at the half. Second-half action saw no scoring, even though WVU had a chance to win on the game’s final drive, by advancing to the SU 20yard line, but the Orange defense held. Devine finished with 122 yards rushing and Smith totaled 178 yards passing, while Tandy had 10 tackles. West Virginia rushed for 106 yards and passed for 178 to total 284 yards of offense. Syracuse totaled 183 yards rushing behind Delone Carter and Antwon Bailey, to go along with 63 yards passing from Nassib, for 246 yards of total offense. Hogue led the Orange defense with 10 tackles, two TFLs, one sack and two interceptions for 58 return yards. The Syracuse win snapped WVU’s eight-game winning streak in the series.

GAME EIGHT

onnecticut rallied from a 10-point deficit and used four Mountaineer turnovers to defeat West Virginia, 16-13, in overtime, winning for the first-time in the series’ history. The Huskies had to erase deficits of 10 and three points to capture their first-ever win over the Mountaineers on a cold Friday night in East Hartford, Conn. West Virginia started quickly behind strong defensive play, but in the end, could not overcome four turnovers in the BIG EAST encounter. On its second possession of the game, the Mountaineer offense struck behind the running of receiver Brad Starks, who took a handoff and rushed 53 yards for the game’s first score. On West Virginia’s next possession, the Mountaineers once again moved the ball, but had a touchdown called back for an illegal chop block and had to settle for a 36-yard Tyler Bitancurt field goal and a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Huskies did not muster a first down until the 10:00 mark of the second quarter thanks to the play of the Mountaineer defense. However, UConn put together a drive just before halftime that accounted for 63 yards in 12 plays and ended with a 39-yard field goal from Dave Teggart to put the score at 10-3 at the half. After a West Virginia fumble on the second half’s first possession, Connecticut made the most of it with a 71-yard drive in 14 plays, capped off by a 24-yard run by tailback Jordan Todman to tie the score at 10-10 with 6:17 left in the third. West Virginia answered right back and regained the lead just over 4:00 later with a 49-yard drive that resulted in a 42-yard field goal by Bitancurt. The Mountaineers carried the lead into the fourth quarter, but lost it again when Connecticut recovered West Virginia’s third fumble in the game and tied the score at 13 with a 26-yard field goal from Teggart at the 10:48 mark. Each team had three possessions to try and win the game in the final 10 minutes, but could not convert, and the game went into overtime. West Virginia had the first possession and a big gain on first-down from receiver Jock Sanders was negated because of a holding penalty. Still the Mountaineers moved all the way to the one-yard line before a Ryan Clarke fumble at the goal-line basically put the Huskies in the driver’s seat. Four plays later, Teggart converted on his third field goal in the game, from 27 yards out, to give Connecticut the win over West Virginia as Huskie fans stormed the field. WVU sophomore quarterback Geno Smith had a solid day with 160 yards passing and a strong 64 yards rushing. Tailback Noel Devine rushed for 67 yards as the Mountaineers had a good ground attack against the Huskies. Sanders finished with seven catches, while defensive tackle Julian Miller led the unit with nine tackles and one TFL. Connecticut was led by running back Jordan Todman with 113 yards and one touchdown. Receiver Michael Smith caught six passes for 56 yards, while quarterback Zach Frazier passed for 166 yards. Linebacker Sio Moore led the Huskie defense with an impressive 17 tackle, three TFL, two forced fumbles and two fumble recovery performance. Out of Moore’s 17 total tackles, 13 were solo stops. West Virginia’s ground game finished with a respectable 254 yards, while the Mountaineers passed for 160 to total 414 yards of offense. Connecticut’s final totals stood at 112 yards rushing and 166 passing for 278 yards of total offense. West Virginia had won on three previous trips to Rentschler Field.

est Virginia broke a two-game season losing streak with a 37-10 victory over Cincinnati in front of 56,593 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. The win also broke a two-game losing streak to the Bearcats. The Mountaineers put together one of their most complete games of the season as offensive fireworks matched yet another strong defensive effort to propel them to their sixth victory of the season. A Cincinnati fumbled punt that was recovered by WVU’s J.T. Thomas got the day started off for West Virginia. The Mountaineers took quick advantage of the turnover when quarterback Geno Smith threw a 32-yard touchdown to Tavon Austin on the next play for a quick 7-0 Mountaineer lead. Two possessions later, West Virginia struck again with a nine-play 51-yard drive that ended with Smith’s second scoring pass to Austin, and a 14-0 WVU lead with 4:10 left in the first quarter. Second-quarter action saw West Virginia extend its lead, while the Mountaineer defense continued to hold the high-powered Bearcat offense in check. Smith threw his third touchdown pass at the 8:49 mark of the second quarter, when he hit Jock Sanders for a 48-yard score. After a Keith Tandy interception in the end zone thwarted one Bearcat scoring drive, cornerback Brandon Hogan’s interception set up WVU’s next score as he returned the ball 25 yards to the Cincinnati 13-yard line. Three plays later, Smith hit Sanders on a five-yard crossing pattern in the back of the end zone for a 28-0 Mountaineer advantage. The scoring toss marked Smith’s second game this season with four touchdown passes, and it marked the second time this year that two Mountaineer receivers caught two touchdowns in the same game. WVU punter Gregg Pugnetti kept the Bearcats bottled up with poor field position, and it paid off with 1:43 left in the first half. With Cincy backed up, the Mountaineer defense sacked QB Zach Collaros in the end zone for a safety and a 30-0 WVU lead. As time expired to end the half, Bearcat kicker Jacob Rogers converted on a 49-yard field goal, putting the score at 30-3 at halftime. Cincinnati started the second half strong, when it took the opening drive 61 yards for a touchdown. Tailback Isaiah Pead broke loose for a 53-yard run for the score. West Virginia answered with the help of a roughing the passer penalty that kept the drive alive. The Mountaineers proceeded to march 80 yards in nine plays to answer the Bearcat score when tailback Noel Devine scampered in from 13-yards out for a 37-10 West Virginia advantage. From there, WVU’s offense kept the Bearcat offense off the field as the Mountaineers held on to the ball for almost 37 minutes in the game. WVU’s defense maintained its edge in the fourth quarter to lead the Mountaineers to the win. Smith passed for 174 yards, while Devine and Shawne Alston combined for 152 yards rushing. Sanders had six catches for 95 yards, while Sidney Glover and J.T. Thomas led the impressive defensive play with six tackles each. Pead managed 78 yards rushing, while Collaros finished with 221 yards passing for Cincy. The UC defense received 16 tackles from J.K. Schaffer. WVU rushed for 245 yards and passed for 174 to total 419 yards of offense. WVU’s defense held UC to 60 yards rushing, 221 yards passing, 0-for-12 on third down and just 281 yards of offense. By stopping a two-game losing skid to Cincinnati, WVU improved to 15-3-1 all-time against the Bearcats. Also with the win, WVU avoided losing three games in a row for the first time since 2004.

GAME TEN

ehind a smothering defense, West Virginia gained its second road win of the season with a 17-10 BIG EAST victory over Louisville at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. The Mountaineer defense collected four sacks and eight tackles for loss in the victory and held the Cardinals to just 26 yards rushing and 145 passing in yet another strong performance. The 2010 WVU defensive unit was becoming one of the best in school history. Following the Louisville game, West Virginia’s defensive numbers in the NCAA national rankings stood at No. 4 in rushing defense, No. 8 in passing defense, No. 4 in scoring defense and No. 4 in total defense. The Cardinals got on the board first at the 9:59 mark of the first quarter when kicker Chris Philpott connected on a 43-yard field goal, ending an eight-play, 43-yard drive. However, West Virginia answered the score on the next possession with a 10-play, 78-yard drive capped off by a Noel Devine two-yard run. Big plays in the drive were a 25-yard completion from WVU quarterback Geno Smith to Tavon Austin, a 19-yard completion to J.D. Woods and a 11-yard pitch and catch to Jock Sanders all good for Mountaineer first downs to keep the drive moving. With West Virginia holding a 7-3 lead at the 10:30 mark of the second quarter, disaster struck for the Mountaineers, when Smith was sacked on the WVU five-yard line by Rodney Gnat and fumbled the ball into the end zone, which was recovered by Louisville’s Daniel Brown for the Cardinal touchdown. But just like earlier in the game when they went down, it did not take the Mountaineers long to recover as West Virginia grabbed the lead once more on its next possession. By putting together an eight-play, 82-yard drive, the Mountaineers were able to take a 14-10 lead in at the half, with fullback Ryan Clarke powering in from two-yards out. The big plays in the drive were a 48-yard pass from Smith to Devine, and a 13-yard completion to Woods. The Cardinals could not score on the opening possession of the second half, and West Virginia proceeded to score the only points of the half on its first possession. Moving 31 yards in 10 plays, WVU used a key 12-yard run by Smith to convert a third-down and get into field goal range. Tyler Bitancurt’s 43-yard field goal was good for a 17-10 Mountaineer advantage with 9:30 left in the third. From there, the Mountaineer defense took over and kept the next six Cardinal possessions at bay with three of them being threeand-outs to preserve West Virginia’s seventh victory of the season and third BIG EAST win. Devine finished with 58 yards to go along with 36 yards from Shawne Alson to lead the WVU rushing attack. Smith completed nine passes for 133 yards, while Devine also had three catches for 61 yards. Anthony Leonard totaled seven unassisted tackles as six Mountaineer defensive players recorded tackles for loss and three players registered sacks. The unit totaled eight TFL of minus 45 yards and four sacks for a loss of 34. Louisville’s leading rusher was Philpott. The kicker/punter gained 21 yards on a fake punt. Quarterback Justin Burke passed for 145 yards, and Cameron Graham led the Cardinal receivers with 95 yards. Brown had seven tackles to lead a strong Cardinal defensive performance. Final totals showed West Virginia with 128 yards rushing and 133 passing for 261 yards of total offense. The Cardinals finished with 26 yards on the ground and 145 passing to total 171 yards of offense. The win improved West Virginia to 10-2 against the Cardinals, and 4-1 all-time at Louisville. In BIG EAST play, WVU now has a 5-1 mark against the Cardinals and a four-game winning streak.

GAME ELEVEN

est Virginia took advantage of three Pitt turnovers to win the 103rd “Backyard Brawl,” 35-10, in front of 60,562 at Heinz Field. An extra twist on the the 2010 edition of the “Brawl” involved the wearing of Nike Combat uniforms by both teams. West Virginia’s uniforms honored the proud coal mining industry of the Mountain State, while Pitt’s honored the rich steel industry heritage in Pennsylvania. The Mountaineers were able to strike first, when cornerback Brandon Hogan intercepted Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri on the game’s fifth play and returned it 53 yards to the Pitt two-yard line. WVU fullback Ryan Clarke powered in from the two-yard line for a quick 7-0 lead. The Panthers answered back before the end of the quarter, as Sunseri engineered an eight-play, 59-yard drive to tie the game at 7-7, with an eight-yard scoring toss to Devin Street. With Pitt driving in the second quarter, West Virginia’s defense came up with a big stop by forcing a Ray Graham fumble to set up WVU’s second score. Smith hit tailback Noel Devine out of the backfield for a 48-yard pass play that setup the Mountaineers at the Pitt two-yard line. Smith then hit tight end Will Johnson for the two-yard scoring pass and a 14-7 Mountaineer lead at the half. West Virginia received the ball first to start the second half and made the most of the possession when Smith hit receiver Tavon Austin for a huge 71-yard touchdown pass on third-and-seven for a 21-7 advantage. The play was West Virginia’s longest from scrimmage to date on the season. Pitt answered with a 42-yard field goal by Dan Hutchins at the 6:13 mark of the third quarter, which was set up by a 48-yard pass completion from Sunseri to Jonathan Baldwin. However, the West Virginia offense started clicking with its running game, and Smith mixed in some timely pass completions to move the chains and take control of the game. Before the end of the third quarter, West Virginia marched 67 yards in 10 plays to take a 28-10 lead, when Smith found Austin in the corner of the end zone for a 12-yard score. Before the pass, the Mountaineers moved the ball down field on nine straight running plays. A third Pitt fumble early in the fourth quarter ended another Panther scoring threat, and WVU took advantage once again. A 38-yard completion to Sanders set up Clarke’s two-yard run and a 35-10 West Virginia advantage. Aside from the big catch to set up the score, Sanders put himself in the WVU record books as he became WVU’s all-time leading receiver. The Mountaineers were led by running back Shawne Alston with 71 yards rushing, while Smith passed for 212 yards and three touchdowns on nine completions. Sanders and Austin combined for 153 yards receiving, and the Mountaineer defense was paced by cornerback Keith Tandy with nine tackles. The Panther running game was held to 78 total yards behind Sunseri with 38, Dion Lewis with 34 and Graham with 21 rushing yards. Sunseri passed for 284 yards, while Baldwin collected five catches for 76 yards and Mike Shanahan also hauled in five receptions for 75 yards. The Panther defense was led by Jarred Holley and Chas Alecxih with eight stops each. West Virginia rushed for 148 yards and passed for 212 to total 360 yards of offense. Pitt totaled 78 yards on the ground and 284 through the air for 362 yards of offense. The win improved the Mountaineers to 8-3 on the year and 4-2 in the BIG EAST. Pitt dropped to 6-5 overall and 4-2 in the conference. The victory gave West Virginia a two-game winning streak against the Panthers.

GAME TWELVE

est Virginia ended the 2010 regular season on a four-game winning streak by defeating Rutgers, 35-14, on a cold December day in Morgantown. Highlighting the game was the hot passing of sophomore quarterback Geno Smith, who completed 23-of-28 passes for a career-high 352 yards. The West Virginia defensive effort was equally as strong, holding the Scarlet Knights to just 63 yards rushing and a little more than 200 yards of total offense. West Virginia was able to overcome three fumbles that ended potential scoring drives en route to the win with a season-best 523 yards of offense. The Mountaineers got the game’s first and only score of the opening quarter when Smith found receiver Tavon Austin on a 19-yard scoring toss at the 8:21 mark. Second-quarter action saw West Virginia increase its lead to 14-0 when fullback Ryan Clarke powered in from one yard away. The score was set up when linebacker J.T. Thomas forced and recovered a Rutgers fumble at its nine-yard line. Rutgers got on the board before the half ended at the 2:52 mark of the second quarter, when Chas Dodd hit Jordan Thomas for an 18-yard score, ending a 79-yard Scarlet Knights drive and cutting the deficit to 14-7 at halftime. After holding Rutgers on the first possession of the second half, West Virginia gave itself a little breathing room with an impressive 19-play, 91-yard drive that used up nearly five minutes of the quarter. The big play was a 43-yard completion from Smith to Austin, before Clarke scored his second touchdown of the game at the 6:54 mark. The Mountaineers extended their lead early in the fourth quarter, when Austin broke loose from the backfield for a 46-yard run and a 28-7 WVU advantage with 14:09 left. However, the Mountaineers were not done yet and added another score with just 4:26 left in the contest when Clarke powered in from three-yards away for his third touchdown of the game to end a 13play, 84-yard drive that consumed 7:38 off the clock. Highlighting the drive was a 43-yard completion from Smith to receiver Brad Starks. West Virginia’s five touchdowns came from two players, as Austin accounted for two (one rushing, one receiving) and Clarke totaled three rushing scores. Rutgers closed out the scoring with a late score as Dodd found receiver Mark Harrison for a 44-yard touchdown pass to put the final totals at 35-14 in favor of West Virginia. Smith accounted for 352 yards passing and 44 rushing for a strong 396 all-purpose yards. Austin had his second 100-yard receiving effort of his career and the season with six catches for a career-high 121 yards. Seniors Sidney Glover and Thomas led the WVU defense as they combined for 15 tackles. For Rutgers, Dodd finished with 139 yards passing, while Thomas had 63 yards rushing. Harrision finished with three catches for 66 yards, and the Scarket Knight defense was led by Joe Lefeged and Antonio Lowery with 11 stops each. Final totals showed West Virginia with 171 yards on the ground and 352 through the air for 523 yards of offense. Rutgers totaled 63 yards rushing and 140 passing for 203 yards of total offense. The win gave West Virginia a share of the BIG EAST championship and was the school’s sixth overall league crown and fifth in the last eight years.

C State took advantage of five West Virginia turnovers to defeat the Mountaineers, 23-7, in the 2010 Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla. The game was billed as a matchup of NC State’s offense versus West Virginia’s Top 10-ranked defense, but in the end, turnovers and two missed field goals proved too costly and kept the Mountaineer defense at a disadvantage all night. The Wolfpack started the scoring with 1:37 left in the first quarter when Mustafa Greene hauled in a 16-yard pass from standout quarterback Russell Wilson for a 7-0 lead. West Virginia’s defense kept the Wolfpack at bay until the Mountaineer offense could answer the score, which it did with 2:10 left in the first half. Quarterback Geno Smith hit receiver Stedman Bailey for a 32-yard touchdown strike to tie the game at seven. The play capped an eight-play, 64-yard drive. After West Virginia’s touchdown, NC State used a 48-yard kickoff return to set up its next score right before half. State started its drive at the West Virginia 48, but the Mountaineer defense held the Wolfpack to a 45-yard field goal from Josh Czajkowski for a 10-7 halftime lead. A fumble ended West Virginia’s first drive of the second half and set up NC State deep in WVU territory, and the Pack converted when Czajkowski hit a 38-yard field goal. NC State added more points with 1:37 left in the third when Czajkowski made his third field goal. The 40-yard kick gave the Wolfpack a 16-7 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Another fumble, an interception and a second missed field goal ended West Virginia scoring chances in the fourth quarter and kept the score at 16-7 until the 5:02 mark of the game. WVU’s Jock Sanders fumbled a punt at the West Virginia seven-yard line that enabled the Wolfpack to put the game away with a late touchdown. The WVU defense held the Wolfpack to zero yards on first and second down, but Wilson hit Jarvis Williams on third down for a seven-yard touchdown pass and a commanding 23-7 lead. After forcing yet another Mountaineer fumble with 2:19 left, NC State ran out the clock and earned the win in the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium. Smith, who was under constant pressure all night from the Wolfpack pass rush, finished the game with 22 completions on 39 attempts for 196 yards and one touchdown to go along with 59 yards rushing. Tailback Noel Devine ended his Mountaineer career with 50 yards rushing, while Sanders, who also finished his career, led the WVU receivers with five catches for 58 yards. Linebacker J.T. Thomas closed out his successful career by leading the Mountaineer defense with 10 tackles. For NC State, Wilson proved to be everything as advertised with 275 yards passing, 41 yards rushing and accounted for two scores. James Washington added 62 yards rushing to the Wolfpack totals, while Williams led all receivers with six catches for 77 yards. The NC State defense was paced by David Amerson with seven tackles. Final totals showed West Virginia with 130 yards rushing and 196 passing for 326 yards of total offense. NC State finished with 103 yards rushing and 275 passing for 378 yards of total offense.

He moved on to South Georgia Junior as head coach between 195658, before returning to his alma mater as head coach from 1959-62, posting a 31-6 record. His first stint at Florida State came in 1963 when he coached the wide receivers. He came to Morgantown in 1966 as offensive coordinator under Jim Carlen, before becoming the head coach in 1970. He left Morgantown in 1976 to become the head coach at Florida State and compiled a 316-97-4 record for an overall career mark of 389-129-4.

His FSU teams finished an unprecedented 14-straight seasons in the Top 5 of the Associated Press College Football Poll, won the College Football National Championship in 1993 and 1999 and is 21-8-1 in bowl games.

College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 2009 as a player A three-year starter at quarterback, the dynamic Major Harris became the first player in NCAA history to rush for more than 2,000 yards and pass for more than 5,000 yards in his career. As a freshman, Harris led the Mountaineers to the 1987 Sun Bowl. The following season, the quarterback led West Virginia to an undefeated season and a match-up with Notre Dame for the national championship in the 1988 Fiesta Bowl. He accounted for 20 touchdowns that season, while earning ECAC Player of the Year honors and finishing fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting. During his junior campaign, Harris threw for 17 touchdowns and ran for six, while setting school records for most total offense and quarterback rushing yards. He was a voted first-team All-America, named the ECAC Player of the Year and finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting. Drafted by the Los Angeles Raiders in the 1990 NFL Draft, Harris spent several seasons playing in the Canadian Football League, Arena Football League and other semi-pro leagues. In 1999, he was inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame.

Robert Lee “Sam” Huff

Pro Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1982 as a player College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1980 as a player A name synonymous with West Virginia football, Robert Lee “Sam” Huff ranks among the all-time great NFL linebackers. At West Virginia, Huff was a 6-1, 230-lb. tackle before being drafted in the third round by the New York Giants in 1956. Shortly thereafter, the Farmington, W.Va., native became one of the greatest and most publicized linebackers in pro football history and the first defensive football player to make the cover of Time magazine. CBS produced a half-hour pro football documentary entitled “The Violent World of Sam Huff.” A fierce competitor and a great rival of Green Bay Packers linebacker Ray Nitsche, Huff earned Pro Bowl status five times, first as a Giant, and then as a Washington Redskin, where he finished his career in 1969. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982.

Darryl Victor Talley College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 2011 as a player

The 12th Mountaineer to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, 1982 consensus All-American Darryl Talley was one of the most dominant defenders in West Virginia University and Buffalo Bills history. A four-year starter at linebacker for the Mountaineers from 1979-82, Talley amassed 484 career tackles – the most by any WVU player when his playing career ended. His five tackles for loss in 1980 versus Penn State still stand as a WVU single-game record. For his career, Talley had 282 unassisted tackles , 202 assisted tackles, 28 tackles for loss and 19 quarterback sacks from 1979-82. The native of East Cleveland, Ohio, went on to stardom in Buffalo as a starter for 12 outstanding seasons at linebacker from 1983-94, never missing a game while playing for the Bills. Talley is the Bills’ all-time leading tackler with 1,137 career takedowns. He also recorded 38 ½ sacks and 11 interceptions as a Bill. Talley spent the 1995 campaign with the Atlanta Falcons and played one more year with the Minnesota Vikings in 1996 before retiring.

West Virginia University

National HOF Selections Alfred Earle “Greasy” Neale Pro Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1969 as a coach College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1967 as a coach

A noted player and coach, “Greasy” Neale’s affiliation with West Virginia lasted three years as head football coach from 1931-34. Prior to his stay in Morgantown, Greasy (a nickname he had carried since childhood), was a three-sport standout at West Virginia Wesleyan before embarking on an eight-year major league baseball career with the Cincinnati Reds. While a baseball player, Neale also found time to play professional football in the fall. Upon his retirement as an athlete, Neale became a college coaching gypsy, guiding some of the nation’s finest football programs before taking the NFL Philadelphia Eagles coaching job in 1941. Introducing the “naked reverse”, man-to-man shifting defenses, the stutter series and a primitive form of the 4-3 defense during his pro football coaching tenure, Neale guided the Eagles to the 1949 NFL title. The Parkersburg native was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1967 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1969. He died November 2, 1973, in Lake Worth, Fla.

Donald Eugene “Don” Nehlen College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 2005 as a coach

The winningest coach in WVU history with a 149-934 record, Don Nehlen served as Mountaineer head man from 1980-2000. During his 21 years as head coach in Morgantown, Nehlen guided the Mountaineers to 13 bowl games and two bids for national titles playing Notre Dame in the 1989 Fiesta Bowl and Florida in the 1994 Sugar Bowl. He coached 15 first‑team All‑Americans, 82 all‑conference players and 51 players that went on to play professional football. His resume included coaching stints in the Blue‑Gray, East‑West Shrine and Hula Bowl all‑star games, and he served as president of the 10,000‑member American Football Coaches Association in 1997. Nehlen, a two‑time national coach of the year in 1988 and 1993, is a member of the Mid‑American Conference, Bowling Green, Gator Bowl, Chick-Fil-A Bowl and WVU Sports Halls of Fame. He also served as head coach of his alma mater, Bowling Green, from 1968-76, posting a 53-35-4 mark. The native of Canton, Ohio, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2005.

Ira Errett “Rat” Rodgers

College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1953 as a player West Virginia’s preeminent all-around athlete, Ira Errett “Rat” Rodgers gained fame as a hard-charging fullback from 1917-19. Called one of “the finest football players in the land” by syndicated columnist Grantland Rice, Rodgers is unanimously considered West Virginia’s finest pre-World War II football player. A consensus All-American in 1919, Rodgers gained national notoriety after a 25-0 whipping of Princeton, against which he passed for 162 yards and two touchdowns. For the season Rodgers accounted for 147 points. Later an amateur state golf champion, the Bethany, W.Va., native remained at West Virginia as football (1920-25, 1943-45), baseball (1921-42) and golf coach (1949). Rodgers was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1953. He died February 22, 1963, in Morgantown.

Clarence Wiley “Doc” Spears College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1955 as a coach

A coach at West Virginia from 1921-24, Clarence “Doc” Spears was responsible for developing West Virginia’s great football fortunes of the early 1920s. During his coaching tenure in Morgantown, the school played in its first bowl game (East-West) in 1922, produced its first unbeaten team (also 1922), defeated Pitt, 9-6 that 1922 season (considered among the greatest wins in school history) and helped build a football stadium. A cordial and delightful man off the field, Spears was the opposite on it, evoking confrontations with sportswriters, alumni and fans alike. After his brief tenure in Morgantown where he also doubled as a practicing medical doctor, thus earning the nickname “Doc,” Spears also coached at Minnesota and Oregon among others, until retiring in 1935 to devote his full time to medicine, practicing in Ypsilanti, Mich. Spears was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955. He died February 1, 1964, in Jupiter, Fla.

Joseph Lee “Jumbo Joe” Stydahar Pro Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1967 as a player College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1956 as a player

A brilliant, but under-recognized two-sport athlete at West Virginia until his graduation in 1936, “Jumbo Joe” Stydahar lost that distinction after surprisingly being the first player taken by the Chicago Bears in the 1936 NFL draft -- the first player ever selected by the organization. Born in Kaylor, Pa., and later a standout at Shinnston High (W.Va.), Stydahar was a giant of a man (6-4, 245lbs.) who became a perennial NFL all-star at tackle. A sixty-minute performer with the “Monsters of the Midway,” Stydahar played without a helmet, one of the last performers to do so. He participated on three NFL championship teams with the Bears and was named to the official all-NFL team from 193740. He sandwiched a two-year stint in the Navy (1943-44) in the middle of his pro career, which finished in 1946. Following his playing career, Stydahar coached the 1951 Los Angeles Rams to the NFL championship, the organization’s first and only title. Stydahar was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1956 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967. He died March 23, 1977, in Beckley, W.Va.

Fielding Harris “Hurry Up” Yost College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1951 as a coach

Always in a hurry, thus the nickname “Hurry Up,” Fielding Harris Yost gained national acclaim as a college football coach at Michigan at the turn of the century. Yost’s travels included a stop at West Virginia, where he earned a law degree and played football in 1895-96. After his two years at WVU, the Fairview, W.Va., native took the Michigan coaching job at age 30 in 1900. Four years later, he showed his appreciation for his alma mater at West Virginia by beating the Mountaineers 130-0, a score that didn’t endear him to the West Virginia faithful. That 1904 Michigan squad was called the “PointA-Minute” team. Later the athletic director at Michigan, he was singularly instrumental in building the nation’s largest football stadium at Michigan. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951. He died August 20, 1946, in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Floyd “Ben” Schwartzwalder College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1982 as a coach

A two-sport letterman at West Virginia in football and wrestling from 1930-32, he achieved great success as a head coach on the prep and collegiate level. He coached high school football for six seasons in West Virginia and Ohio, winning two state championships at Parkersburg (W.Va.), prior to enlisting in the U.S. Army during World War II. Following his discharge, he was the head coach at Muhlenberg (N.J.) College from 1946-48, compiling a 25-5 record. He left there to become head coach at Syracuse, serving as head man there from 1949-73. His teams were an impressive 153-91-3, went to seven bowls, winning the national championship in 1959, and captured four Lambert Trophies (1952, 1956, 1959 and 1966). He was National Coach of the Year in 1959 and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1982. He died in 1993 at age 83. Mountaineer Football

Cornerback, 1995 This Pottstown, Pa., native captured first team All-America honors from five different sources during a 1995 season in which he nabbed five interceptions. The year prior as a junior, Beasley led the nation with 10 picks. Of his 19 career interceptions (second all-time at WVU), three went for TDs. A Jim Thorpe and Football News defensive player of the year semifinalist as a senior, Beasley was a third-round selection of the Jacksonville Jaguars and played in the NFL for nine seasons with the Jaguars, New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons.

Bruce Bosley Tackle, 1955

This Green Bank, W.Va., resident earned consensus AllAmerica honors as a tackle in 1955, ending a 36-year West Virginia consensus drought. A terrific all-around player, Bosley played on the 1954 Sugar Bowl team and helped WVU to a three-year 31-7 mark. A second-round selection by the San Francisco 49ers in 1956, the 1953 Academic All-American was a four-time all-pro as a member of the 49ers during his 13-year NFL career. Bosley was a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

Mike Compton Center, 1992

West Virginia’s fifth consensus All-American used equal amounts of brains and muscle to gain national acclaim. A native of Richlands, Va., Compton was cited by seven different sources for his consensus tag at center. One of four Rotary Lombardi Award finalists, he was a NCAA Today’s Top Six winner and was selected to speak on behalf of all NCAA student-athletes at the 1993 NCAA Convention in Dallas. A third-round pick by the Detroit Lions in 1993, the Academic All-American was a fixture at guard and center for the Lions for eight seasons before moving on to New England, where he won two Super Bowl rings with the Patriots. He also played one season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Canute Curtis

The BIG EAST defensive player of the year and the school’s all-time sack leader with 342, the Amityville, N.Y., native was a finalist for the Butkus Award, the Football Writers Association Bronko Nagurski Award and the Football News defensive player of the year. He was a sixth-round draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Brian Jozwiak

Offensive Tackle, 1985 Mammoth offensive tackle Brian Jozwiak became Coach Don Nehlen’s second consensus All-American in 1985. Jozwiak gained consensus status at offensive tackle by earning first team All-America honors from five different sources. The seventh player taken in the 1986 NFL draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, the Catonsville, Md., resident was just the fifth Mountaineer to be taken in the first round of the NFL draft. Jozwiak played three NFL seasons before injury forced him into early retirement.

Dan Mozes Center, 2006

Dan Mozes was named the Rimington Award winner, signifying the top center in the nation. He helped lead the Mountaineers to two 11-win seasons, two Top 10 final rankings and set the best four-year record in the school’s history. Mozes finished with a complete sweep, earning both unanimous and consensus All-America honors. He was a leader on one of the most explosive offenses in college football, ranking No. 2 nationally in rushing, No. 3 in scoring, No. 5 in total offense and No. 6 in fewest

sacks allowed. West Virginia averaged 303 yards per game rushing, 38.9 points a game and 461.4 yards per game of total offense. He signed a free agent contract with the Minnesota Vikings.

Ira Errett “Rat” Rodgers Fullback, 1919

Hailed as one of the nation’s finest pre-World War II football players, Ira Errett Rodgers is considered by several historians to be West Virginia’s finest all-round athlete. West Virginia’s first consensus pick in 1919 at fullback, the Bethany, W.Va., native amassed the single greatest season of any West Virginia player in 1919, leading the nation in scoring with 147 points. National syndicated columnist Grantland Rice labelled Rodgers “the finest all-round football player in the land” that season. Rodgers was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1953.

Todd Sauerbrun Punter, 1994

Considered among the top punters in NCAA football history, Todd Sauerbrun established an NCAA standard 48.4 punting average in 1994 on the way to consensus All-America status. Sauerbrun also set NCAA marks in career punting average (46.1) and season punts traveling longer than 50 yards (32). The AT&T national Long Distance Award winner earned a clean sweep of All-America teams in 1994 and had one punt travel 90 yards against Nebraska in the Kickoff Classic. The Setauket, N.Y., native was the 56th player taken in the 1995 NFL draft by the Chicago Bears (second round), the highest specialist taken since 1979. He also played for the Kansas City Chiefs and was named to the Walter Camp Football Foundation All-Century College Football Team for the 1900’s.

Steve Slaton

Running Back, 2006 This three-year starter was a quick-footed and speedy runner who ran for a school record 1,744 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2006, helping lead the Mountaineers to a second-straight 11-win season. He was second in the nation in all-purpose yards, fourth in rushing yards per game and tied for No. 12 in scoring. Slaton finished with a complete sweep, earning both unanimous and consensus All-America honors. He ran for over 1,000 yards all three years, helping the Mountaineers to three-straight 11win seasons and Top 10 rankings.

He also was named the most valuable player of the 2006 Sugar Bowl, finishing with a bowl record 204 yards against Georgia.

Darryl Talley

Linebacker, 1982 Coach Don Nehlen’s first consensus All-America pick in 1982 (third ever at WVU), linebacker Darryl Talley captured first team All-America status on nine teams that season. A vicious hitter who finished his career as the school’s all-time leading tackler, Talley was among the first great Nehlen players that elevated West Virginia football nationally. Selected in the second round by the Buffalo Bills in 1983, the Cleveland, Ohio, native became a fixture on four Buffalo Super Bowl teams. Talley was a two-time NFL all-pro with the Bills.

Grant Wiley

Linebacker, 2003 Four-year starter who anchored the Mountaineer defense from his linebacker post. Surpassed fellow consensus AllAmerican Darryl Talley to become the school’s all-time leading tackler in 2003.

After retiring from football, Luck became vice president of business development for the NFL and later was appointed general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the newly created World League of American Football. He spent the ’95 season as general manager of the Rhein Fire before being named President and CEO of NFL Europe in 1996. Luck totaled more than 10 years with the NFL, before becoming chief executive officer of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority in 2001. In that role, Luck oversaw the development and management of a $1 billion professional sports and entertainment complex for the city of Houston that included Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets, Comets and Aeros and the Livestock Show and Rodeo. In 2005, Luck was appointed as the first president of Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamos, helping that organization to a pair of MLS Cup titles in his first two years at the helm. Luck was in the midst of securing the funding for an $80 million soccer complex to house the Dynamos when the call came to return to his alma mater. Prior to his current position at WVU, Luck was appointed by Gov. Joe Manchin in 2008 to a four-year term on the West Virginia University Board of Governors, a spot he relinquished to become director of athletics. The Rhodes Scholar finalist graduated Phi Betta Kappa from WVU in 1982. He also earned a law degree from Texas, graduating cum laude in 1987. In 1997, Luck was inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame, and in 2008, he was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica Hall of Fame. He is married to the former Kathy Wilson. They have two sons and two daughters: Andrew, an All-American quarterback and a Heisman Trophy contender at Stanford; Mary Ellen, a sophomore volleyball player at Stanford; Emily and Addison.

uccessful at each of his previous career stops, Oliver Luck looks to continue that streak at West Virginia University. A former Mountaineer quarterback, Luck, appointed the University’s 11th Director of Athletics by President James P. Clements on June 9, 2010, has already made strides in just one year in enhancing WVU’s role as a player in the collegiate world. “Oliver Luck is someone who has succeeded at the highest levels at everything he has done – from his college and professional football playing days to his academic pursuits and his professional business career,” said Clements. “He is the clear choice to carry forward what has truly been a golden era in athletics.” “It’s an incredible honor for me to be appointed as athletic director at my alma mater,” said Luck. “I care deeply about this school. I’ve had an opportunity to serve on the Board of Governors the last couple of years, and it’s given me a tremendous viewpoint of how important intercollegiate athletics is at a land-grant institution like WVU. “WVU is truly one of the outstanding land-grant universities in the country, and I am so pleased to be a part of its momentum and growth. This is a tremendous opportunity - a chance to return to a University and a state that I love at a dynamic and strategic time in its history.” In his first year, Luck has hired four head coaches while maintaining the superior level of success WVU has recently enjoyed. In addition to new hires, Luck has overseen the progress of major capital projects, such as the WVU basketball practice facility, and fostered an atmosphere for achievement and triumph, in the classroom and on the field. Luck’s athletic and professional career has been the epitome of success, first as a record-setting quarterback for the Mountaineers from 1978-81, then as a professional quarterback for the National Football League’s Houston Oilers, and later as a professional sports executive. Luck’s journey to the big chair at WVU began in his native Cleveland, where in 1977 he was named the Cleveland Touchdown Club Player of the Year at St. Ignatius High. Luck chose WVU over Ivy League schools Harvard and Yale, embarking upon a career that saw him establish school records for touchdown passes and completions during his playing days, while also leading the Mountaineers to a 26-6 upset victory over Florida in the 1981 Peach Bowl. His best season came as a senior in 1981 when he completed 216 of 394 passes for 2,448 yards and 16 touchdowns. He passed for a careerhigh 360 yards in a 27-24 loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome in the final regular-season game of his career. Luck ended his college career with 5,765 yards and 43 touchdown passes, both figures still ranking among the best in school history. Luck was a two-time team MVP in 1980 and 1981, and also received the Louis D. Meisel Award for the WVU football student-athlete with the highest grade point average.

Media INFORMATION Following are some guidelines for covering the 2011 Mountaineers. Credentials: All requests for working press, photo and broadcast credentials to cover West Virginia’s 2011 home football games must be made in writing on company letterhead at least two weeks prior to the game. Requests the week of the game will be honored only if space permits and will not be mailed; those credentials will be left at the “Will Call” window at the North ticket booth. Due to the demand for working credentials, media regularly assigned to cover WVU and the visiting school will receive priority. All photographers must work outside the 30-yard lines as prescribed by the NCAA; they are not permitted in the bench area. Photographers must sign in for a field access credential in the press box prior to each game. No children (age 16 and under) are allowed on the sidelines for any reason; any children on the sidelines will be ejected, along with their guardians, from the stadium. Any abuse of a working credential to West Virginia football games can result in the media agency losing credential privileges for the remainder of 2011 and possibly the entire 2012 home season. After The Game: Coach Dana Holgorsen will conduct a postgame press conference in the press room adjacent to the WVU locker room; Holgorsen’s press conference is also heard over the press box PA. Requested WVU players will also be available. No media will be granted access to the West Virginia locker room. During The Week: Coach Dana Holgorsen will meet with the press each Tuesday afternoon in the Team Room at Mountaineer Field. He will be available on the BIG EAST weekly conference call each Monday at 11:30 a.m., and will also wrap up the previous weeks game on Sunday afternoons in a conference call; contact the WVU sports communications office for information. Mountaineer players will be available for interviews each Tuesday during the dinner hour; Tuesday during dinner is also the best time for players to return calls to out-of-town media. They will also be available to return phone calls on Tuesday and Wednesday as class and practice schedules permit. Any special arrangements for player interviews should be made through director of football communications Mike Montoro at least a day in advance. Players will not be asked to miss class or study hall for interviews and at no time will a player’s home number be given to the press. No player interviews will be conducted during practice sessions. The practice and interview schedule for preseason camp and game weeks will be announced in August.
