success

of the

M o u n ta i n e e r football program CHAMPS / LIFE SKILLS: 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 WVUsports.com/page. cfm?section=12102

2012 outlook

Orange Bowl MVP Geno Smith threw for a bowl-record 407 yards and six touchdowns and ran for another score to lead West Virginia to an impressive 70-33 victory over No. 14 Clemson on Wednesday, Jan. 4. West Virginia tied or set 28 Orange Bowl individual, team and combined team records by the end of the night. The game was tight early, before WVU scored at the beginning of the second quarter to take a four-point lead, 21-17. On their next possession, the Tigers were driving deep in Mountaineer territory when Doug Rigg forced a Clemson fumble on the goal line, and Darwin Cook picked it up and raced 99 yards for a touchdown, giving West Virginia an 11-point lead. That started the fury, as the Mountaineers proceeded to outscore the Tigers, 35-3, to put the game out of reach. The Mountaineers’ 70 points were the most points scored all-time in a bowl game.

Center Joe Madsen and right guard Jeff Braun return for their third year as starters, tackle Pat Eger returns for his second season as a starter and redshirt senior Josh Jenkins, who redshirted in 2011 with a knee injury, returns for his final season as a three-year starter at left guard. These four linemen have played in 118 games and return 98 starts. Quinton Spain played in all 13 games last year at tackle and guard and started one, and Curtis Feigt played in four games last year at tackle and started one. The offensive line returns 63 percent of the snaps and 62 percent of the starts from last season. Then add in Josh Jenkins’ 11 games started and 709 plays participated in during the 2010 season returning and the number increases. Spain saw action in 266 plays last year and Feigt was used on 65 plays. Behind the blocking of the line, the Mountaineer offense averaged 37.6 points per game and finished with more than 4,500 yards passing and more than 6,100 yards of total offense. The Mountaineers ranked No. 6 nationally in passing offense, No. 13 in scoring offense and No. 15 in total offense. Madsen led the offensive line with 55 knockdowns, averaging 4.2 per game, and Braun had 52, averaging 4.0 per game. Eger compiled 24 knockdowns, and Spain had 15. As a junior, Jenkins finished with 42 knockdowns in 2010.

Two starters return on the defensive line this season after losing two standout linemen in Julian Miller and Bruce Irvin. Miller finished with 27.5 sacks and 42.5 tackles for loss over his four-year career, and Irvin, a first-round and Top 15 pick in the NFL Draft by Seattle, finished with 22.5 sacks and 29 tackles for loss in his two-year WVU career. Two starters return from last season, senior nose tackle Jorge Wright and junior defensive tackle Will Clarke. Wright finished with 38 tackles, including 21 unassisted, 1.5 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss. Clarke, who was moved from defensive end to defensive tackle during the spring, had 34 tackles, two sacks, five tackles for loss and a pass breakup.

Returning Linebackers

Three linebackers with starting experience return from a year ago, junior Doug Rigg at Sam, sophomore Jared Barber moved from Mike to Will and junior Jewone Snow is moved from the Mike to Buck linebacker. Rigg played 11 games and started nine at strong-side linebacker last season. Barber and Snow split time at middle linebacker, with two starts and seven starts respectively.

Two-year starting safety Terence Garvin is making the move to a different position for his final season. In the new 3-4 scheme employed during the spring, Garvin will now play the Star linebacker position. He led the WVU in 2010 in tackles with 76, including 41 solo tackles, had 4.5 tackles for loss, a sack, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. Last season, he missed two games to injury but still put up similar numbers, finishing fourth on the team with 72 tackles, including 43 unassisted tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, three pass breakups and two interceptions. His top performance of the year was against Pitt, when he registered 14 tackles, including nine unassisted and had a tackle for loss. He had nine tackles at Maryland and returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter.

The Cook did it

Safety Darwin Cook enjoyed a solid second year on the Mountaineer defense. He is the leading tackler returning in 2012, finishing with 85 stops, including 51 unassisted. He also had four pass breakups, two interceptions and returned two fumbles. Cook took center stage at the Orange Bowl, when he picked up a Clemson fumble on the goal line and raced 99 yards for the touchdown to give WVU a bigger lead in the second quarter and helped to break open the game. Last year, he registered double-figure tackles in three games, 11 against Norfolk State and at Rutgers and had 10 against Louisville. He had a 21-yard interception return against Pitt and had a season-high two pass breakups at Rutgers.

Living on the Island

Pat Miller and Brodrick Jenkins will have the early responsibility of anchoring the cornerback positions. Miller played in all 13 games last year and started nine, while Jenkins also played in all 13 games but earned a starting spot late in the season for the final four games. Miller was the fifth-leading tackler on the squad last season with 66 tackles, including 50 unassisted tackles. He had three pass breakups, 1.5 tackles for loss and two interceptions. He had a season-high 11 tackles at Maryland, eight against Louisville and seven against LSU and Bowling Green.

[ SeptEMBER 4, 2011 · Morgantown, W.Va . ]

n a bizarre evening in the Mountain State, Dana Holgorsen’s debut as West Virginia’s 33rd head football coach got off to a winning start with a 34-13 victory over Marshall. With West Virginia leading 27-13 at the 4:59 mark of the third

quarter, both teams had to leave the field and seating area as Milan Puskar Stadium was evacuated due to severe rain and lightning. After a three hour and three minute delay, the game resumed until the 14:36 mark of the fourth quarter, when lightning forced the teams off the field again. Both delays totaled four hours and 22 minutes, before the game ended with West Virginia coming away with the victory.

Marshall struck first with 10:18 left in the opening quarter when

Andre Booker returned a punt 87 yards for a quick 7-0 lead for the Herd.

The Mountaineers responded with a 10-play, 71-yard drive that

ended with a Tyler Bitancurt 27-yard field goal, cutting the deficit to

Marshall 13

West Virginia would go on to put the next three scores on the

board. First, quarterback Geno Smith hit Ivan McCartney with a fouryard strike to end another 10-play drive. Then Smith directed a 13-play scoring march and connected with Stedman Bailey on a 15-yard toss, before Bitancurt came on again and connected on a 43-yard field goal for a 20-7 Mountaineer advantage late in the second quarter.

Marshall responded with a 10-play drive of its own that went for 72

yards, and the Herd got a 24-yard field goal from Tyler Warner as the half expired to cut the West Virginia lead to 20-10.

The Thundering Herd again cut into the West Virginia lead at the

5:14 mark of the third, when Warner converted on a 21-yard field goal attempt to pull the Herd within seven at 20-13.

But West Virginia quickly erased the Marshall momentum on the

ensuing kickoff, as Tavon Austin returned the Herd kick 100 yards for a score and a 27-13 West Virginia advantage. It was the second kickoff return of Austin’s career, and he became just the sixth Mountaineer in school history to record a 100-yard kickoff return.

Soon after the Austin return, the rain came and the sky lit up as

severe weather blanketed the entire state.

When play resumed, West Virginia went on the offensive again and

basically put the game away when tailback Vernard Roberts rushed in

n a tale of two halves, West Virginia scored 45 second-half points to defeat Norfolk State, 55-12, at Milan Puskar Stadium. The Spartans took a 12-10 lead into the locker room at halftime,

but could not handle the WVU passing attack in the second half as quarterback Geno Smith passed for a career-best 371 yards and tied his previous high mark of four touchdowns. Smith’s passing yards were the seventh-highest in school history.

However, the Spartans hit some big plays early to propel them into

the lead. The Spartans went up 3-0 on a 50-yard field goal by Everett Goldberg and followed that up with a 39-yard Ryan Estep field goal for a 6-0 lead with 14:41 to play in the second quarter.

West Virginia answered with two scores of its own. The first was a

17-yard Tyler Bitancurt field goal to end a 10-play drive, and the second was an 18-yard pass from Smith to receiver Devon Brown, giving the Mountaineers a 10-6 lead.

But Norfolk State would not go away in the first half. The Spartans

Early in the third, tailback Vernard Roberts scored on a three-yard

run on the half’s opening possession. Receiver Tavon Austin pulled in a three-yard touchdown reception, followed by a three-yard scoring run by true freshman Dustin Garrison.

Tyler Urban closed out the scoring in the third stanza with a 12-yard

touchdown reception, and after trailing 12-10 after two quarters, the Mountaineers took a commanding 38-12 lead after three periods of play.

Three more scores followed in the fourth quarter for West Virginia.

Ivan McCartney’s 39-yard touchdown catch was the longest scoring play in the game at the 14:10 mark of the fourth.

Bitancurt added his second field goal (21 yards) at the 9:39 mark

to finish off a 10-play, 57-yard scoring drive.

urnovers and special teams’ miscues spelled doom for West Virginia against No. 2 LSU as the Tigers answered every punch in defeating the Mountaineers, 47-21.

The loss overshadowed the outstanding performance of junior

quarterback Geno Smith, who completed 38-of-65 passes for a careerhigh 463 yards. Smith’s numbers set school marks for completions, attempts and yards as the WVU passing game continued to thrive in first-year head coach Dana’s Holgorsen’s offense.

ehind the running of true freshman Dustin Garrison, West Virginia stormed past Bowling Green, 55-10, on a wet and cold afternoon at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Garrison became WVU’s first 100-yard rusher of the season with 291

yards on 32 carries and two touchdowns. He averaged 9.1 yards per carry and tied the WVU record for the second-best rushing performance in school history. His rushing total was the best mark for a WVU freshman and the single-best mark in the nation through the first five weeks of the season. His 233 yards at halftime also set the school mark for yards in a half.

Behind Garrison and an improving offensive line, West Virginia totaled

an impressive 643 yards of total offense with 360 yards coming on the ground and 283 through the air. More impressive was the fact that WVU had 306 total rushing yards after four games and passed the season total in one game. The 643 yards of total offense was the best of the decade and the Holgorsen era. The total offense number comes in as third-best

[ November 5, 2011 · Morgantown, W.Va . ]

ouisville won for the first time in Morgantown since 1990 and broke a four-game losing streak to West Virginia with a 38-35 victory over the Mountaineers.

Two fumbles and special teams’ miscues proved too much for

West Virginia to overcome, even though the warm, sunny November day started off brightly for the Mountaineers.

Brad Starks returned the game’s opening kickoff 62 yards to the

Louisville 30-yard line to set up the game’s first score. Three plays later, WVU quarterback Geno Smith hit receiver Tavon Austin for a 25-yard scoring toss and a 7-0 lead.

However, it took Louisville just 2:38 to answer, as the Cardinals

marched 73 yards to tie the game on Jeremy Wright’s eight-yard run. The scoring drive was highlighted by a 55-yard run by tailback

GENO

Dominique Brown.

SMITH

Louisville took its first lead of the game with 5:44 left in the first

on Senorise Perry’s 13-yard run that ended a 78-yard drive. A 37-yard

completion from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to Eli Rogers provided the spark for the Cardinals.

The Mountaineers tied the game at 14-14 at the 12:18 mark of the

second quarter, when Stedman Bailey hauled in a five-yard pass from Smith, as the Mountaineers drove 76 yards for their second score.

West Virginia recaptured the lead with 5:44 left in the first half, when

Shawne Alston powered through for a two-yard scoring run, and a 2114 WVU lead.

kicker Chris Philpott converted on a 39-yard field goal, as Louisville regained the lead for good at 24-21.

West Virginia mounted a drive late in the third, but was stopped at

the Cardinal six-yard line as the third quarter ended. To start the fourth, Bitancurt’s 23-yard field goal to tie was blocked and returned 82 yards for a touchdown by Andrew Johnson. Instead of the game being tied, West Virginia found itself down, 31-21, with 14:42 left in the game.

est Virginia earned a road victory over a ranked opponent the hard way with a thrilling 24-21 win over Cincinnati in Paul Brown Stadium.

The Mountaineers trailed early, made a comeback to take the lead,

only to relinquish it to a furious Cincinnati rally, before holding on at the end thanks to a blocked field goal attempt for their seventh victory of the season and third in BIG EAST play.

The Bearcats looked strong early, forcing West Virginia’s offense

out on downs. UC then scored the game’s first touchdown in just three plays, when Isaiah Pead broke loose for a 40-yard touchdown run.

To West Virginia’s credit, the Mountaineers never panicked and

quieted the Bearcat faithful four plays later with a 59-yard touchdown bomb from quarterback Geno Smith to Stedman Bailey to tie the game at 7-7, with 11:37 left in the opening quarter.

Both defenses held until the 9:35 mark of the second quarter,

when West Virginia put together an 11-play, 72-yard drive that ended with a 28-yard Tyler Bitancurt field goal. The WVU scoring drive was

fumbled the ball in the end zone, before it was recovered by Julian Miller for a Mountaineer touchdown and a 17-7 lead.

More importantly though, Collaros suffered a broken ankle on the

play, forcing backup quarterback Munchie Legaux into action. While the West Virginia offense could not put any more points on the board in the first half, the West Virginia defense returned the favor on the Bearcats, enabling the Mountaineers to take the 10-point lead into the locker room.

After keeping the fleet-footed Legaux in-check from the middle of

the second quarter to the midway point of the third, the backup broke loose at the 8:48 mark of the third for a 65-yard run, but a missed field goal kept the Bearcats off the board.

Legaux was at it again on Cincy’s next possession, as he connected

with Pead for a 45-yard pass play and then took it in himself from seven-yards out, cutting the WVU lead to 17-14 with 4:19 left in the third.

Cincinnati took advantage of a WVU fumble to take the lead early

in the fourth on a 10-yard run by Pead.

yler Bitancurt’s 28-yard field goal as time expired gave West Virginia its sixth BIG EAST championship in nine years, and seventh overall as the Mountaineers defeated USF, 30-27,

before a Thursday night ESPN national audience.

The dramatic victory saw West Virginia control the game for

three quarters, only to fall behind in the fourth, before staging the allimportant comeback.

The field goal was the second game-winning kick as time expired

for Bitancurt in three years, but this one came on the road and was good enough for a conference championship and a nine-win regular season.

The dramatics for both teams came in the fourth quarter. West

Virginia led for three and a half quarters thanks in part to a solid defensive effort and strong special teams.

The Mountaineers’ first score came at the 13:29 mark of the second

quarter. By taking advantage of a blocked punt by Willie Milhouse, WVU went up 3-0 on Bitancurt’s 23-yard field goal.

The Mountaineers added a second Bitancurt field goal with just 22

seconds remaining in the half. The drive was aided by a 20-yard run by quarterback Geno Smith to put Bitancurt in range for the 42-yarder.

West Virginia took the opening drive of the second half and moved

deep into USF territory, but came away empty after fumbling on the Bulls’ three-yard line.

The fumble recovery sparked USF, who then marched 82 yards in

He served as head coach at West Virginia University from 1970-75, compiling a record of 42-26 with two Peach Bowl appearances. The Birmingham, Ala., native graduated from Howard College (now Samford) in 1953 and began his coaching career as an assistant coach from 1954-55. 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.

Major Claybourne

Harris

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 unde-

feated 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.

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 149-93-4 record, Don Nehlen served as Mountaineer head man from 19802000.

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.

“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.

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.

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 Morgan-

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, 245-lbs.) 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 1937-40. 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.

town, 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.

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 “Point-A-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.

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.

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.

Bosley This Green Bank, W.Va., resident earned consensus All-America 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 secondround 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.

Mozes 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.

Center, 1992 West Virginia’s fifth consensus AllAmerican 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.

“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 allround 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 allround football player in the land” that season. Rodgers was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1953.

media information

Following are some guidelines for covering the 2012 Mountaineers. Credentials: All requests for working press, photo and broadcast credentials to cover West Virginia’s 2012 home football games and the Sept. 15 game against James Madison at FedExField in Landover, Md., must be emailed to director of football communications Mike Montoro (mike.montoro@mail.wvu. edu) on company letterhead at least two weeks prior to the game. Requests the week of the game only will be honored if space permits. 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 extended. Photographers must sign in for field access 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 removed, along with their guardians. Any abuse of a working credential to West Virginia football games can result in the media agency losing credential privileges for the remainder of 2012 and possibly the entire 2013 home season.
