E H T T A E R A S C I M E ACAD S S E C C U S E H T F O T N REFRO
FO R E E N I A T N U OF THE MOROGRAM FOOTBALL P 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

93 wins in the last 10 years (200312) give the Mountaineers the 14th-best record in college football behind Alabama in 13th-place. 11 STRAIGHT BOWLS
West Virginia’s appearance in the 2012 New Era Pinstripe marked the 11th straight bowl appearance by the Mountaineers, dating back to the 2002 Continental Tire Bowl. The 11 straight bowl appearances are a school record and rank No. 8 in the country, along with Boise State and Wisconsin. Florida State has been to 30 straight bowl games, Florida has been to 21 straight and Virginia Tech has been to 19 straight. 30 IS ENOUGH
Dating back to 1980, the Mountaineers hold a 164-12-1 record when scoring 30 or more points in a game. During the 1990s, the Mountaineers were 42-4 when scoring 30 or more points in a contest and were 40-2-1 in the ‘80s when reaching that mark. WVU is 82-6 since 2000 when scoring 30 points or more in a contest. COMPETING AT QUARTERBACK
There will be a battle for the starting quarterback job in August. Last year’s No. 2 quarterback Paul Millard returns for his junior season after backing up Geno Smith for two years. He played in seven games and completed 9-of-19 passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Redshirt freshman Ford Childress sat out last year after coming to West Virginia as a highly recruited prospect from Houston, Texas. After Clint Trickett graduated from Florida State in May, he announced that he was coming to Morgantown to compete for the starting job. He played in eight games as the backup with the Seminoles last year, completing 22of-34 passes for 272 yards.
in 2012, posting 207 yards and two touchdowns at Texas, and had 100 yards and a touchdown against Kansas. Garrison was limited early in 2012 after coming back from a knee injury he sustained before the Orange Bowl. He played in 10 games in 2012, averaged 4.5 yards per rush and two touchdowns. Smith enrolled at WVU in January after having an allconference season at Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kan., where he ran for 984 yards and 17 touchdowns as a sophomore. Sims joined the team in July after graduating from Houston in May. He rushed for 2,370 yards and 29 TDS and pulled in 158 receptions for 759 yards and 8 TDs in three seasons with the Cougars. OFFENSIVE LINE
West Virginia’s offensive line did a solid job blocking in 2012. The first team unit paved the way for the offense to average 39.5 points and 502.0 yards of total offense a game. Both starting tackles, Curtis Feigt and Quinton Spain, return this season. Spain started all 13 games, and Feigt earned the starting nod against TCU and stayed there for the remainder of the season. Nick Kindler, who returns for his senior season in 2013, played in all 13 games as a backup at tackle in 2012 and earned a start against Kansas State. Marquis Lucas saw limited action last year and will battle for the starting left guard spot, while junior college transfer Mark Glowinski sat out last
year and sits at the starting right guard spot entering the preseason. Russell Haughton-James saw action in the first two games last year before suffering a seasonending knee injury. He, along with redshirt freshman Tony Matteo, look to break into the guard rotation. Redshirt freshman Tyler Orlosky, veteran Pat Eger and junior college transfer Stone Underwood will battle at center. DEFENSIVE LINE
Seniors Will Clarke and Shaq Rowell return to lead the defensive line, Clarke at tackle and Rowell at nose tackle. Redshirt sophomore Kyle Rose is slated to start at defensive end. Clarke played in 12 games in 2012, finishing with 26 tackles, including 1.5 sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss and had three pass breakups. Rowell finished with 42 tackles, two tackles for loss and two pass breakups. Rose contributed 25 tackles, including 14 solo stops and two pass breakups. Sophomores Christian Brown and Eric Kinsey and redshirt freshman Noble Nwachukwu all look to break into the rotation this season. Brown played in 11 games last year at nose tackle and finished with 11 tackles, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble. Kinsey saw action at tackle in all 13 games and collected four tackles and two pass breakups.
RUNNING BACK PRODUCTION
Juniors Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison, junior college transfer Dreamius Smith and Houston transfer Charles Sims lead the Mountaineer running attack. Buie paced the ground game in 2012 with 851 yards on 179 yards, an average of 4.8 yards per run and tied for the team lead with seven touchdowns. He finished the season ranked No. 9 in the Big 12 in rushing. He had two 100-yard rushing performances

[ SEPTEMBER 1, 2012 · MORGANTOWN, W.VA. ]
W
est Virginia started the 2012 season right where it left off in the Discover Orange Bowl with an offensive explosion that produced a 69-34 victory over Marshall in the Friends of Coal Bowl. Quarterback Geno Smith got his senior season started in spectacular fashion, completing 32-of-36 passes for 323 yards and four touchdowns, while adding a 28-yard rushing score. The Mountaineers started fast and never looked back, jumping out to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter on Smith’s 32-yard touchdown toss to Stedman Bailey and Shawne Alston’s three-yard rush. Marshall cut the deficit to 13-7 at the 11:16 mark of the second quarter, when running back Travon Van scored from four-yards out to cap a 14-play, 98-yard drive. However, the rest of the half belonged to West Virginia. The Mountaineers outscored the Herd 21-3 in the final 11 minutes of the first half to take a 34-10 lead into the locker room. Tailback Andrew Buie scampered in from 24 yards out, and Smith connected on scoring tosses of six yards to Tavon Austin and nine yards to J.D. Woods, giving WVU the 24-point advantage. Third quarter action saw the Mountaineer offense continue to click as a seven-play, 64-yard drive on the quarter’s opening possession ended with a 21-yard Alston run and a 41-10 WVU advantage. Marshall capitalized with a three-yard Van touchdown run after blocking a punt, but West Virginia never flinched and went on to score 21 points in the quarter. Smith improvised on a broken play for a 28-yard touchdown run, and linebacker Isaiah Bruce picked up a Herd fumble and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown and a 55-17 West Virginia lead with 3:41 left in the third. After a 29-yard Justin Haig field goal cut the Herd deficit to 55-20, heading into the fourth quarter, the Mountaineers added two more scores in the final stanza on Smith’s five-yard toss to Bailey, which was setup by a 52-yard completion from Smith to Ivan McCartney, and K.J. Myers’ first career score on a three-yard reception from Paul Millard. With the score at 69-20, Marshall added two late fourth-quarter scores to make the final outcome look closer. Tommy Shuler caught a 12-yard pass from Rakeem Cato, and Eric Frohnapfel an 11-yard pass to end the game’s scoring. Aside from Smith’s sparkling numbers, several Mountaineers posted impressive performances. Alston finished with 123 yards rushing and two scores, Buie totaled 80 yards on the ground and one score, Austin caught 10 passes for 53 yards to go along with a 70-yard run, and Bailey finished with nine catches for 104 yards. In his Mountaineer debut, Bruce finished with 16 tackles and the fumble return for a score, while fellow linebacker Doug Rigg had one interception for a 46-yard return. Linebacker Terence Garvin also was strong with 12 tackles, one sack, two TFL and forced the fumble that Bruce returned for the touchdown. For Marshall, Cato passed for 413 yards, completing 38-of-54 attempts, and Dominick LeGrande and Alex Bazzie combined for 24 tackles to pace the defense. Final statistics showed West Virginia with 331 yards rushing and 324 passing for 655 yards of total offense. Marshall totaled 132 yards on the ground and 413 in the air for 545 yards of total offense. With the win, West Virginia improved to 12-0 all-time against Marshall.

est Virginia scored on its first four possessions and never looked back in defeating James Madison, 42-12, at FedExField in Landover, Md. Quarterback Geno Smith was outstanding once again, completing 34-of-39 passes for 411 yards and five touchdown passes. Smith’s favorite target was Stedman Bailey, who caught a school-record 13 passes for 173 yards and three scores. Fellow receiver Tavon Austin also got in on plenty of action with 11 catches for 113 yards and one touchdown. Austin and Bailey’s receiving performances marked the first time since 1981 that two Mountaineers caught 10 or more passes in a game. Running back Shawne Alston got the scoring started with a two-yard score at the 10:16 mark of the first quarter. The 71-yard scoring drive was followed by a 64-yard drive that ended with a nine-yard scoring toss to Bailey. On West Virginia’s third possession, a 77-yard drive was capped with a three-yard touchdown pass to Bailey, giving West Virginia a 21-0 lead after one quarter. Redshirt freshman receiver Dante Campbell caught the first touchdown of his young Mountaineer career with a four-yard toss from Smith at the 10:15 mark of the second quarter. That touchdown pass ended an 86-yard drive, and put WVU’s first four scoring drives at 71, 64, 77 and 86 yards. With 1:02 left in the half, James Madison got on the board with a 33-yard field goal by former Mountaineer reserve kicker Cameron Starke, cutting the deficit to 28-3 at the half. The Dukes played their best football in the third quarter, and after stopping WVU on 4th-and-2, took control of the ball at the Mountaineer 48. Five plays later, JMU had a first and goal at the WVU three, but four great goal line stands by the Mountaineer defense turned James Madison away. However, Alston was tackled in the end zone by JMU’s Dean Marlowe on WVU’s first play from scrimmage, giving the Dukes a safety and bringing the score to 28-5. West Virginia responded with an eight-play, 70-yard drive that ended with Smith finding Bailey from 30-yards out and a 35-5 Mountaineer advantage. James Madison continued its offensive movement after the score, driving 57 yards down to the WVU 6, but Mountaineer linebacker Tyler Anderson thwarted the scoring attempt by intercepting Duke quarterback Justin Thorpe in the end zone with 1:14 left in the third quarter. The goal line stand and the interception in the end zone ended James Madison’s chances to tighten the game. With 14:56 remaining in the game, West Virginia closed out its scoring with a five play, 80-yard drive, ending with a seven-yard strike to Austin. Completions of 30 and 27 yards to tailback Andrew Buie were big plays in the drive. The Dukes added a 20-yard scoring run by Jauan Latney with just 49 seconds left to finish the scoring. Aside from the offensive numbers, top defensive performances from the Mountaineers came from linebackers Isaiah Bruce and Terence Garvin, who combined for 17 stops. Jordan Anderson rushed for 75 yards for the Dukes, and tight end Brian Barlow had two catches for 46 yards, while Jakarie Jackson led the defense with 14 tackles. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 121 yards rushing, 448 passing and 569 total yards. JMU finished with 188 rushing, 112 passing and 300 yards of offense. The win gives West Virginia a 2-0 record all-time against James Madison.

est Virginia used a big defensive play for the second year in a row to defeat Maryland, 31-21, in front of 58,504 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. Linebacker Doug Rigg’s 51-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown coupled with Tavon Austin’s three touchdowns proved to be enough for the Mountaineers to down the Terrapins. Rigg’s recovery started the scoring after Darwin Cook blitzed Terp true freshman quarterback Perry Hills to force the fumble. Rigg handled the rest, giving the Mountaineers a 7-0 lead at the 7:14 mark of the first quarter. West Virginia extended the lead to 14-0 on its next possession when quarterback Geno Smith hit Austin for a 44-yard touchdown reception at the 4:24 mark to end a two-play, 78-yard drive. However, Maryland answered before the end of the quarter, when Hills connected with receiver Stefon Diggs for a 42-yard touchdown strike, cutting the Terp deficit to 14-7. The Terrapins tied the game at the 12:16 mark of the second quarter, when Hills hooked up with receiver Marcus Leak for a 12yard scoring toss. The Mountaineers responded with 10 unanswered points to close out the half. Tyler Bitancurt connected on his first field goal of the season, from 37 yards, to put the Mountaineers up by three with 7:40 left. Smith connected with Austin for the second time on the afternoon with a 24-yard scoring pass, giving the Mountaineers a 10-point lead at 24-14. The Terps’ Brad Craddock missed a 42-yard field goal attempt as the half ended, preserving WVU’s 10-point lead. Third quarter action was relatively quiet as both defenses held. West Virginia did get on the board again with 8:18 left in the game on a 34-yard touchdown from Smith to Austin for the pair’s third touchdown of the game. The 31-14 Mountaineer lead did not last long, as Maryland struck back with its own big aerial play. Hills hit Diggs for a 56-yard scoring play for the duo’s second scoring connection in the game, bringing the Terrapins’ deficit back to 10, at 31-21, with 7:25 to go. The Terp offense had one more possession, but WVU’s Wes Tonkery came up with his first career interception, and the Mountaineers ran out the remaining clock for the hard-fought victory. Austin’s 13 catches enabled him to pass Jock Sanders as WVU’s all-time receptions leader. The 13 receptions tied teammate Stedman Bailey for the school record for most catches in a game. Smith finished with 338 yards passing, while Rigg and Karl Joseph led the defense with a combined 14 tackles. Hills had the best day of his young career with 305 yards passing and three scores. Fellow freshman Diggs finished with three catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns. The Terp defense was led by Dexter McDougle and Demetrius Hartsfield with a combined 15 tackles. Final totals showed a very evenly played game. WVU rushed for 25 yards and passed for 338 to total 363 yards of offense with 19 first downs. Maryland rushed for 46 yards and passed for 305 to total 351 yards of offense with 18 first downs. Time of possession showed Maryland with 31:14 compared to WVU’s 28:46, as turnovers and the big defensive play again spelled the difference in this border rivalry. The win gave WVU seven straight victories in the series against Maryland.

n West Virginia’s inaugural Big 12 football game, an old fashioned offensive shootout broke out that saw 133 combined points in the Mountaineers’ 70-63 victory over Baylor. The game featured great offensive performances from both sides, but none better than Geno Smith’s 656 yards passing and eight touchdowns. Smith’s performance earned him the Walter Camp National Player of the Week honor and gave WVU its historic first win in the Big 12. To go along with Smith’s outstanding school-record totals, receiver Stedman Bailey set WVU receiving marks with 303 yards and five touchdowns. Teammate Tavon Austin turned in a 215yard receiving performance and two touchdowns, while third receiver J.D. Woods hauled in 13 catches for 114 yards. Baylor was in on the record-setting, too, as quarterback Nick Florence passed for 581 yards and five scores, with a stadiumrecord 314 yards going to Terrance Williams. The Bears also turned in three 100-yard receiving performances, as Tevin Reese finished with 120 yards and Lanear Sampson had 109 along with Williams’ numbers. The 133 combined points were a Big 12 and WVU record, while Baylor’s 63 points were a stadium record. Both teams combined for a stadium record of 1,507 yards, as West Virginia finished with 807 total yards to Baylor’s 700. In the end, more than 17 records were broken in the barnburner that introduced West Virginia fans to Big 12 football in an explosive way. After one quarter of play, the score stood tied at 14-14, as Baylor used a one-yard Jarred Salubi run, followed by a seven-yard Glasco Martin rush to light up its end of the scoreboard. The Mountaineers were able to match the two Baylor touchdowns with a one-yard Andrew Buie rush and a seven-yard touchdown catch by Woods. But the two teams were far from done, as each scored 21 points in the second quarter to knot the score at 35-35 at halftime. For Baylor, Martin added another touchdown run, followed by Florence touchdown passes to Reese of 65 yards and a 67-yard bomb to Sampson. West Virginia’s answer was three touchdown passes from Smith to Bailey of 47, 20 and two yards for its 21 points in the quarter. The Mountaineers then seemingly took control of the game in the third quarter by outscoring Baylor 21-7, but no lead was big enough. Three straight scores, including two touchdown receptions by Austin (45, 52 yards) and Buie’s second one-yard touchdown run, put the Mountaineers up by the game’s largest lead of 21. However, Florence brought the Bears back to within 14 by the end of the third quarter. A 37-yard Williams touchdown catch, before a Florence oneyard rush brought Baylor back within seven, 56-49, with 14:14 left. The dymamic duo of Smith and Bailey struck again for touchdown receptions of 87 and 39 yards to counter Florence’s touchdown passes of seven and eight yards to keep the Mountaineers ahead by a touchdown, and eventual win.. A crowd of 60,012 striped Milan Puskar Stadium in sections of gold and blue to commemorate the game. Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby was on hand for the ceremonial coin toss and national recording star Trace Adkins sang the national anthem as part of the game’s festivities. The win improved West Virginia to 4-0, while Baylor fell to 3-1 on the season.

n front of the largest crowd ever at Texas’ DKR-Memorial Stadium, West Virginia won its first Big 12 road game in its first try with a thrilling a 48-45 victory in front of 101,851 fans. A perfect weather night, in one of the great stadiums in college football, set the stage for West Virginia’s first visit to Texas since 1956. Sophomore running back Andrew Buie turned in his best performance to date in a Mountaineer uniform, rushing for 207 yards and two scores, while registering three catches for 66 more yards to lead the offense. West Virginia’s defense came up big when it needed to on several occasions, holding the Longhorns to field goal attempts on two drives, while making key fourth-quarter stops on third and fourth downs to thwart another Texas scoring threat. West Virginia was able to start fast thanks to Tavon Austin’s 44yard return of the game’s opening kick to set up good field position for senior quarterback Geno Smith. Five plays later, West Virginia had a 7-0 lead, when Smith hit Stedman Bailey for an eight-yard touchdown. Texas bounced back to tie the score at 7 on its first possession. The big play came in the form of a 46-yard completion from David Ash to Daje Johnson that set up Joe Bergeron’s two-yard rush. West Virginia regained the lead at the 1:55 mark of the first, when Smith hit Tavon Austin for a 40-yard touchdown on fourthand-four from the UT 40-yard line. After a defensive stop, the Mountaineers opened up a 21-7 lead on Buie’s four-yard rush that ended a 72-yard drive with 12:13 left in the second quarter. However, the Longhorns quickly got back into the game and closed the gap to 21-14 at the 8:40 mark, when Bergeron powered in from two-yards out after a 49-yard run by Jonathan Gray put the ball at the WVU two. Texas tied the score just over a minute later, when Alex Okafor sacked Smith and forced a fumble in the end zone that was recovered by Jackson Jeffcoat, bringing the Texas faithful to their feet. The Mountaineers regained the lead with a 37-yard Tyler Bitancurt field goal, but it was short-lived. The Longhorns took their first lead at the 1:09 mark of the half, when Bergeron scored touchdown number three, this time from a yard out, as Texas moved 67 yards in just seven plays. However, WVU used a 41-yard Bitancurt field goal, as the half expired, to close the score at 28-27 in favor of Texas. The Longhorns extended that lead to 31-27 on the first possession of the third quarter on an Anthony Fera 38-yard field goal. But the Mountaineers never flinched in front of the huge crowd and regained the lead, when Smith hit Bailey for a nine-yard touchdown pass. Just before the end of the third, Bergeron scored his fourth TD, giving the Longhorns a 38-34 lead, but Smith once again took control. He directed two straight scoring drives of 76 yards, as his offense was five-for-five on fourth-down conversions in the game. Buie rushed for 102 yards in the final two drives, and the Mountaineers opened up a 48-38 lead. The Longhorns added a touchdown with just 15 seconds left, but it was too late, as the Mountaineers collected an impressive road victory in the heart of Big 12 country. Final totals showed West Virginia with 460 yards of offense, while Texas came in at 404. Both defenses came up with big plays, but WVU made one more to help it improve to 2-0 all-time against the Longhorns.

exas Tech used six touchdown passes from senior quarterback Seth Doege to pound No. 5/4 West Virginia, 4914, in front of 57,328 fans on Homecoming at Jones AT&T Stadium. Doege threw for 499 yards and hit 11 different receivers, as the Red Raiders controlled the game from start to finish. The Red Raider fireworks got started early, taking the opening kickoff and scoring in just 1:56, when Doege hit Jace Amaro with a 39-yard touchdown pass. Later in the first quarter, Texas Tech showed that it not only could score quickly, but also with a controlled drive, as the Red Raiders used 12 plays to march 69 yards for their second score. This time, Doege hit Eric Ward from 19 yards out for a 14-0 Tech lead with 6:00 left in the opening stanza. West Virginia got on the scoreboard 1:39 later, when quarterback Geno Smith hit Stedman Bailey with a seven-yard scoring toss. The Mountaineers moved 54 yards in just five plays, highlighted by a 38-yard pitch and catch from Smith to Tavon Austin to set up the score. Trailing 14-7 with 4:21 left in the first, the Mountaineers seemed to settle in after a couple of defensive stops, but the Mountaineer offense could not get on track, and Doege led his team to a 21-point second quarter to blow the game open. At the 9:02 mark of the second quarter, Marcus Kennard’s 16yard touchdown reception capped a three-play, 82-yard drive. A 62-yard completion to Amaro was the big play in the drive. A nine-play, 86-yard drive by the Red Raiders concluded at the 2:04 mark, giving Texas Tech a 28-7 lead on Darrin Moore’s twoyard reception. With West Virginia unable to score right before halftime, Texas Tech got the ball once more, and with just 52 seconds remaining, unleashed SaDale Foster for a 53-yard burst. On what seemed like a play to run out the clock, Foster took advantage of a gaping hole in the West Virginia defense to give the Red Raiders a 28-point cushion at the half. The score remained 35-7 until the 3:30 mark of the third, when Doege connected from 29-yards out with Moore to up the advantage to 42-7. Texas Tech added one last touchdown with 5:37 left in the contest, when Doege threw his sixth touchdown pass and third of the day to Moore. The seven-yard pass play ended an impressive 98-yard drive by Tech. West Virginia finally scored again with just 2:41 remaining, when sophomore tailback Dustin Garrison rushed in from two-yards out to end a 73-yard drive by the Mountaineers. For West Virginia, Smith passed for 278 yards, with 92 of them going to Austin on 10 catches. Senior receiver J.D. Woods had a solid day with 79 yards receiving, and Karl Joseph led the defense with nine tackles. Along with Doege’s totals, Amaro was the favorite target, finishing with 156 yards receiving and one touchdown to go along with Moore’s 92-yard receiving performance and three touchdowns. Linebacker Cody Davis had 13 tackles for the Red Raider defense. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 130 yards rushing and 278 passing for 408 yards of total offense. Texas Tech enjoyed a banner offensive day with 168 yards on the ground and 508 through the air for 676 total yards. Red Raider fans stormed the field after the upset, as Tech evened the series with West Virginia at 1-1, as the two teams met on the football field for the first time since 1938.

K
ansas State quarterback Collin Klein was responsible for seven touchdowns in leading the Wildcats to a 55-14 victory over West Virginia in front of 60,101 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. Klein’s big night consisted of four rushing touchdowns and three passing, as he accounted for 364 yards of total offense. His favorite target, receiver Tyler Lockett, hauled in nine catches for 194 yards and two scores, as the Wildcats jumped out to a 24-0 lead and never looked back. Kansas State took the game’s opening possession and converted a 33-yard Anthony Cantele field goal. The good news for the Mountaineers was that they held K-State to a field goal; the bad news was that the Wildcats would score touchdowns on their next seven possessions. Klein hit Lockett on a 10-yard scoring pass at the 3:33 mark of the first quarter to give the Wildcats a 10-0 lead, heading into the second quarter. Klein used the second stanza as a showcase for his running skills, scoring on touchdown runs of one, eight and one yards to end drives of 64, 75 and 78 yards. The Wildcats controlled the ball 11 minutes more in the first half to open up a 24-0 advantage. West Virginia finally got on the scoreboard with 4:13 left in the first half, when Tavon Austin returned a kickoff 100 yards to cut the deficit to 24-7. The return marked Austin’s fourth of his career for a touchdown, including the second 100-yard return for a score. However, Klein’s third touchdown run of the quarter, with just 17 seconds left, quickly took the crowd out of the game once again to give the Wildcats a 31-7 lead at the half. The Mountaineers did receive the ball to start the third quarter, but quarterback Geno Smith’s first interception in a then NCAArecord 273 passes set up the Wildcats once again deep in WVU territory. Two plays later, Klein hit receiver Chris Harper for a 21yard strike and a 38-7 K-State advantage. The Wildcats put 21 points on the board in the second quarter, and they would repeat the effort in the third. Klein added another one-yard rushing touchdown at the 9:00 mark, and then hit Lockett for a 20-yard touchdown reception at the 2:25 mark to end a 77-yard drive, giving Kansas State a 52-7 lead heading to the fourth. West Virginia got on the board again with 7:31 left in the contest, when Smith found Austin for a five-yard touchdown reception. However, Kansas State closed out the scoring with 3:48 left, when Cantele connected on his second field goal, this time from 42-yards out, for the 55-14 victory. Aside from Klein’s and Lockett’s big night, receiver Chris Harper hauled in six catches for 96 yards, while Randall Evans and Arthur Brown paced the defense with a combined 17 tackles. For West Virginia, Smith finished with 143 yards passing, and Austin accounted for both TDs and 233 all-purpose yards. Karl Joseph and Isaiah Bruce had nine tackles each for the WVU defense. The Mountaineers finished with 88 yards rushing and 155 passing for 243 yards of offense. Kansas State gained 146 yards on the ground and 333 through the air for 479 yards of total offense. The victory gave Kansas State a 2-1 lead in the all-time series against West Virginia, as this was the first game played between the two teams since 1931. All three games in the series have been played in Morgantown, and the Wildcats now have a two-game winning streak against West Virginia.

CU erased a 10-point second half deficit and overcame several big plays from West Virginia to earn a 39-38 double-overtime victory at Milan Puskar Stadium. Not only did the Horned Frogs come back from 10 points down, they overcame a late fourth-quarter punt return by WVU’s Tavon Austin, a missed field goal in overtime and a seven-point deficit in the second overtime before grabbing victory from the jaws of defeat with a gutsy two-point conversion on the game’s final play. The heartbreaking loss for WVU came on the heels of an improved defensive effort that held the Horned Frogs to just 4-of17 on third down conversions and collected three TCU turnovers. TCU grabbed an early 7-0 lead with 2:27 left in the first quarter on Matthew Tucker’s two-yard run. The second quarter saw a combined 28 points put on the scoreboard. West Virginia tied the game at 7 with 13:38 remaining, when receiver J.D. Woods fought the defender and came up with a 22-yard scoring reception. TCU took advantage of a WVU interception and went back in front 14-7 on Josh Boyce’s 31-yard touchdown catch from Trevone Boykin. However, West Virginia scored the half’s final 14 points for a 21-14 advantage at the intermission. Austin showed his speed on a 43-yard catch-and-go from Smith at the 9:47 mark, before the Mountaineers made TCU pay for a fumbled punt, when Shawne Alston burst in from one-yard out for WVU’s 21st point of the quarter. West Virginia made the Horned Frogs pay for another fumble in the third quarter, with a 52-yard Tyler Bitancurt field goal. However, TCU kept coming, and made the Mountaineers pay for a fumbled snap on a punt, when Dominic Merka picked up the loose ball and raced 15 yards for the touchdown, cutting the deficit to 24-21 with 9:12 left in the third. Missed scoring opportunities hampered the Mountaineers in the third quarter, and TCU tied the game at 24-24 on Jaden Oberkrom’s 26-yard field goal with 12:01 left in the game. The game remained tied until the 3:19 mark, when Austin returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown. It was his first career punt return for a score, and seemed to be the game-winner, when the WVU defense forced TCU to punt. But the Horned Frogs had one last possession, with just over two minutes to play, and made the most of it, when Boykin hit Boyce for a 94-yard touchdown pass with just 1:28 left. WVU missed a long field goal with 18 seconds left in regulation, but TCU returned the favor with a missed attempt in the first overtime. West Virginia’s shot at the win ended, when Jason Verrett blocked Bitancurt’s 29-yard field goal attempt. In the second overtime, WVU struck on its first play, as Smith hit Stedman Bailey for a 25-yard touchdown. Not to be outdone, TCU scored on its first play with a reverse pass to Corey Fuller. Following a timeout, TCU elected to go for two and got the win, when Boyce hauled in Boykin’s pass just off the turf for the successful two-point conversion. Top performances in the game included Boyce with 180 yards receiving and two scores for the Horned Frogs. WVU’s Austin finished with 101 receiving yards and 202 all-purpose yards to lead the Mountaineers. TCU defenders Derrick Kindred and Sam Carter collected 10 tackles each along with WVU’s Shaq Petteway. West Virginia finished with 78 yards rushing and 260 passing for 338 yards of total offense. TCU’s final numbers stood at 126 on the ground and 279 through the air for 405 yards of offense. With the win, TCU evened the series against WVU at 1-1.

klahoma State used the big play and took advantage of West Virginia special team miscues en route to a 55-34 victory over the Mountaineers at Boone Pickens Stadium. The Cowboys accounted for 13 plays of 20 yards or more in the contest and were led by third-string quarterback Clint Chelf, who threw for 292 yards and four touchdowns in the victory. Chelf’s favorite target was receiver Josh Stewart, who hauled in 13 catches for 172 yards and two scores. Special teams mistakes by the Mountaineers led to 17 points for Oklahoma State, but none was bigger than Justin Gilbert’s 96-yard kickoff return for a score, which slowed West Virginia’s momentum and gave the Cowboys a 14-point lead after one quarter of play. Oklahoma State built a 14-point cushion to start the game, when Stewart rushed for a 46-yard score on OSU’s first possession. Two Cowboy possessions later, Chelf hit Stewart for a 21-yard touchdown completion with 3:07 left in the opening quarter. West Virginia got on the scoreboard before the quarter ended on a 37-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Paul Millard to Stedman Bailey. Geno Smith’s helmet came off on the previous play, so Millard replaced him for the fourth-down play and delivered a perfect strike to Bailey. However, the joy was short-lived for WVU as Gilbert took the ensuing kickoff 96 yards for the 21-7 OSU lead, heading into the second stanza. The Mountaineers used a 10-play, 64-yard scoring drive that ended with a 17-yard pass from Smith to Tavon Austin to cut the deficit to 21-14, but OSU closed out the half on a 10-3 run to take a 31-17 lead at the break. A Blake Jackson 48-yard touchdown reception, and a 26-yard field goal from Quinn Sharp countered Tyler Bitancurt’s 41-yard field goal, putting OSU in the driver’s seat. West Virginia closed the gap to 31-24 on Ryan Nehlen’s nineyard touchdown catch in the third quarter, but then fell behind 38-24, when Chelf hit Charlie Moore for a five-yard toss after the Mountaineers muffed a punt. Still, West Virginia kept battling. Bitancurt added a 37-yard field goal, and Terence Garvin’s 42-yard interception return set up a Smith one-yard scoring plunge, and the deficit was down to just four, 38-34, with 5:20 left in the third. That was as close as the Mountaineers could get as Oklahoma State ended any hopes of a comeback by scoring the game’s final 17 points. Sharp connected on a 32-yard field goal before the end of the third, and fourth quarter scores by Stewart and Jeremy Smith put the game away for the Cowboys. Bailey had a terrific day in leading the Mountaineers. He caught 14 passes for 225 yards, and Smith finished with 364 yards passing. Bitancurt was solid with two field goals and a punting average of 47.8 on five punts. Pat Miller, Jorge Wright and Isaiah Bruce led the WVU defense with a combined 16 tackles, one sack and three TFLs. Aside from Chelf and Stewart, the Cowboys got 74 yards rushing from Joseph Randle, while Brodrick Brown and Shamiel Gary combined for 12 tackles to lead the OSU defense. West Virginia won a lot of statistical categories in the game but not the main one on the scoreboard. The Mountaineers finished with 78 yards rushing and 401 passing to total 479 yards of offense. Oklahoma State ran for 151 yards and passed for 292 to total 443 yards of offense.

espite one of the best individual performances in West Virginia football history, No. 13 Oklahoma made one more play count, defeating the Mountaineers, 50-49, at Milan Puskar Stadium. Senior receiver Tavon Austin played tailback for the first time since high school and responded with a WVU record 344 rushing yards, coupled with 82 yards receiving and 146 on kickoff returns to end his night with an impressive 572 all-purpose yards. Aside from the school single-game rushing mark, Austin’s allpurpose yards were the most in school and Big 12 history, and the most in college football in 2012. It was second most in NCAA history, as he fell just six yards shy of the record. With his two rushing touchdowns in the game, Austin became the first Mountaineer in school history to score a touchdown four different ways in a season (receiving, rushing, punt and kickoff return). Austin got offensive help in the form of teammate Stedman Bailey, who had 13 catches for 205 yards and four touchdowns. It was Bailey’s second straight 200-yard receiving effort, and it came on the heels of Geno Smith’s 320-yard passing day against the Sooners. However, Oklahoma also had plenty of strong performances to propel it to victory. Senior quarterback Landry Jones passed for 554 yards and six touchdowns to lead the Sooner offense. Jones had 10 of his completions go to receiver Kenny Stills, who also caught four touchdowns. Jalen Saunders had 123 yards receiving, and Justin Brown added another 112, as the Sooners took an early lead and then battled back twice in the fourth quarter to win the game. Taking the game’s-opening drive 75 yards, the Sooners jumped out to a 7-0 lead, when Jones connected with Trey Millard on a four-yard scoring toss. Kicker Mike Hunnicutt added a 32-yard field goal, before West Virginia’s Tyler Bitancurt converted on a 19-yard kick to put the score at 10-3 in favor of Oklahoma, heading into the second quarter. Both teams combined for 35 points in the second stanza. The Mountaineers tied the game at 10 at the 10:00 mark on Andrew Buie’s one-yard rush. But the Sooners scored two-plays later on a 76-yard pass to Saunders, and on their next possession with a fouryard Stills touchdown catch to open up a 24-10 cushion. The Mountaineers added a 33-yard touchdown reception by Bailey that ended a 91-yard drive, but Oklahoma answered with a 75-yard scoring drive and a 31-17 lead at the half, when Damien Williams burst through the line for a 48-yard touchdown run. West Virginia outscored the Sooners, 13-7, in the third quarter on two Austin touchdown runs. The first went for 74 yards, and the second for four yards to cap a 92-yard drive. However, a missed Bitancurt extra point after Austin’s second score changed the game the rest of the way. Sooner points in the quarter came on an 11-yard catch from Stills, and the score was 38-30 in OU’s favor, heading to the fourth. Smith connected with Bailey on a four-yard score, closing the gap to 38-36 after a failed conversion pass. WVU grabbed its first lead at the 7:12 mark, 43-38, when Smith found Bailey again, this time from eight yards out. OU answered with a seven-yard touchdown from Jones to Stills and a 44-43 advantage, before the Smith to Bailey connection worked again on a 40-yard strike with just 2:53 left, putting WVU up 49-44. But Jones calmly led OU down the field and won the game with just 24 seconds left on his fourth TD pass to Stills on fourthand-three. Oklahoma finished with 662 yards, while WVU had a strong 778 yards of total offense.

est Virginia broke a five-game losing streak with a Big 12 road victory at Iowa State in front of 53,792 fans on senior day at Jack Trice Stadium. The return of a healthy running back in Shawne Alston certainly helped the Mountaineer cause, as WVU established a running game behind his 130 yards and one touchdown. Alston averaged 6.8 yards per carry, and his powerful running allowed quarterback Geno Smith to have more options on the offensive side of the ball. A strong wind plagued both teams for the entire game, but West Virginia was able to use the wind to its advantage in the first quarter. With the wind at his back, senior kicker Tyler Bitancurt connected on a 42-yard field goal to put the Mountaineers on top, 3-0, with 9:58 remaining. West Virginia took the three-point lead into the second quarter and added to it, when Alston powered in from one-yard out to end a 70yard drive. Smith completions to receiver Stedman Bailey of 27 and 23 yards highlighted the drive for the Mountaineers. Trailing 10-0, Iowa State got on the board with 7:57 left in the half, when quarterback Sam Richardson found Jerome Tiller in the corner of the end zone for an eight-yard scoring play. But, eight plays and 70-yards later, West Virginia took a 17-7 advantage, when Smith hit Bailey for a six-yard touchdown reception. However, the Mountaineers could not hold the margin, as the Cyclones used a nine-play, 71-yard drive to cut the deficit to three at the half. Richardson hit Josh Lenz for an 18-yard touchdown pass with just 18 seconds remaining before intermission. West Virginia kept the opening drive of the third quarter for 7:28 and came away with a 44-yard field goal from Bitancurt to extend its lead to 20-14. The Cyclones took their first lead of the game, 21-20, with 4:56 left in the third, when Richardson found Quenton Bundrage for a 35-yard scoring toss. Both teams traded scores in the final stanza, as the game would go down to the end. West Virginia regained the lead at the 9:35 mark on Bitancurt’s 35-yard field goal. Iowa State countered with a 49-yard field goal from Edwin Arceo for a 24-23 lead with just 6:42 remaining. However, one play after the Cyclones took the lead, the dynamic Tavon Austin, took charge and gave the Mountaineers the lead once again. Austin took a flip pass from Smith and raced 75 yards for the score and then converted the two-point conversion by diving into the end zone for a 31-24 WVU lead. The Cyclones would threaten again and reached the West Virginia seven-yard line, but safety Darwin Cook forced a Jeff Woody fumble that was recovered by Karl Joseph in the end zone to preserve the Mountaineer victory. Aside from Alston’s big day, Smith finished with 236 yards passing and two scores. Austin came in with six catches for 99 yards, along with 74-yards rushing for a total of 261 all-purpose yards. Joseph led the defense with 13 stops. For ISU, Richardson passed for 162 yards and rushed for 119 to lead the attack. Linebacker A.J. Klein had 14 tackles. Final totals show West Virginia with 239 yards rushing and 236 passing for 475 yards of offense. ISU finished with 234 rushing and 162 passing for a total of 396 yards. With the win, West Virginia became bowl eligible for the 11th straight season.

est Virginia closed the 2012 season in impressive fashion with a 59-10 victory over Kansas on senior day at Milan Puskar Stadium. The seventh win of the season came on the heels of yet another strong performance by senior quarterback Geno Smith. Playing in his final game at Milan Puskar Stadium, Smith was near perfect, completing 23-of-24 passes for 407 yards and three touchdowns. After throwing an early interception, Smith completed 21 straight passes, which set the WVU consecutive pass completion mark, breaking the old record of 14 that he set earlier in the season, and his completion percentage of 95.8 percent tied the NCAA record (min. 20 attempts). His usual targets came through for him once again. Receiver Stedman Bailey caught 11 passes for 159 yards and two scores, while Tavon Austin had four catches for 110, along with 77 rushing yards. With his 187 all-purpose yards, Austin broke his own mark from 2011 and set the single-season school record for that category. The Mountaineers started strong and never looked back in taking the game’s opening possession 68 yards for a score. Tailback Andrew Buie finished off the eight-play drive with a two-yard run and a 7-0 WVU lead. West Virginia added another score in the quarter at the 2:08 mark on Shawne Alston’s two-yard burst, ending a 77-yard drive. WVU’s 14-0 lead carried to the 11:34 mark of the second quarter, when Bailey hauled in an eight-yard Smith pass for a touchdown and a 21-0 advantage. Kansas broke the Mountaineer scoring string with 7:05 remaining in the half. The Jayhawks marched 80 yards in nine plays, and got on the board on James Sims’ one-yard rush, cutting the deficit to 21-7. But West Virginia added two more scores before halftime, taking a commanding 35-7 lead at the half. Alston rushed for his second score of the day on a one-yard plunge at the 3:29 mark, ending a 74-yard drive. Then receiver J.D. Woods closed out the first half scoring by grabbing an eight-yard toss from Smith with just 24 seconds remaining. West Virginia put up 17 more points in the third quarter. The first three came on Tyler Bitancurt’s 30-yard field goal at the 9:11 mark. Bailey pulled in his second touchdown of the game, this one from 16-yards out that ended a 74-yard drive in just three plays. Austin finally got in on the scoring with 1:31 left in the third. It was his key runs and receptions that set up most of the previous Mountaineer scores, and this time he finished the deal. After rushes of 15 and 17 yards, his one-yard stretch into the end zone gave the Mountaineers a 52-7 lead, heading to the fourth quarter. Kansas got back on the scoreboard with 9:01 remaining on a Nick Prolago 32-yard field goal, finishing off a 60-yard drive for the Jayhawks. As the Mountaineer seniors were taken out of the game to a thunderous ovation, WVU had one last score to end the game. Tailback Dustin Garrison scampered in from 26-yards out with 5:13 left to put an exclamation mark on the day. Aside from WVU’s fine offensive day, safety Karl Joseph led the defense with seven tackles and one interception. Darwin Cook and Shaq Petteway combined for 14 tackles in the win. Final totals showed West Virginia with 240 yards rushing and 407 passing for 647 yards of offense. Kansas finished with 157 yards on the ground and 117 passing for 274 total yards. The Mountaineers closed the 2012 regular season with two straight wins and finished with a 7-5 record in their first year of Big 12 play, including a 4-5 league mark.

SEASON REVIEW
[ DECEMBER 29, 2012 · BRONX, N.Y. ]
S
yracuse looked right at home in the frigid elements, defeating West Virginia, 38-14, in the 2012 New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y. The Orange (8-5) used a powerful ground game that produced a 200- and a 100-yard rusher and took advantage of the slippery conditions to slow the Mountaineers’ sixth-ranked passing attack. Prince-Tyson Gulley ran 26 times for 213 yards and two touchdowns, and Jerome Smith added 152 yards on 29 carries to become the first duo to crack the 100-yard barrier against a Mountaineer defense in 2012. Syracuse had 369 yards rushing for the game. West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith came into the game ranked sixth in the nation in total offense (346.5 ypg.) and was the first quarterback in WVU history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, but the senior finished his career winless against the Orange. West Virginia chased points from the moment Syracuse nose tackle Jay Bromley blocked Tyler Bitancurt’s 46-yard field goal attempt on the game’s opening possession. Syracuse led 12-7 at halftime behind a safety, a Ross Krautman 25-yard field goal and a Gulley 33-yard touchdown run. The Orange erupted for three second-half touchdowns, scored another safety when Smith was called for intentional grounding in the end zone, and added a second Krautman field goal from 36-yards out. A key moment in the game occurred early in the third quarter after Syracuse had taken a 19-7 lead on a Ryan Nassib to Beckett Wales 10-yard touchdown pass. On the ensuing possession, the Mountaineers used a 59-yard Smith to Stedman Bailey screen pass to get the football to the Orange 36. Three plays later, on a fourth and two, it appeared as if tailback Andrew Buie scored on a 28-yard touchdown run, which would have closed Syracuse’s lead to five, but the Mountaineers were penalized for holding – one of 11 flags thrown against WVU in the game. West Virginia was forced to punt after the penalty but immediately got the football right back, when linebacker Isaiah Bruce stepped in front of a Nassib pass at the Syracuse 25. However, the Mountaineers gave it right back, when the football slipped out of Smith’s hand on the next play as he was attempting to pass, and the Orange recovered the loose ball. On Syracuse’s first play from scrimmage after the fumble recovery, Gulley broke the game wide open with a 67-yard touchdown run. Three minutes later, Gulley tallied his third score on a 10-yard pass from Nassib to give Syracuse a commanding lead. Both West Virginia touchdowns were produced by Bailey, who broke free on a screen pass for a 32-yard TD in the second quarter and then beat Syracuse defensive back Braddon Reddish down the sideline for a 29-yard touchdown with 5:41 left in the third quarter. Bailey’s score closed Syracuse’s lead to 26-14. The loss represented a disappointing ending to the fabulous careers of Smith, Bailey and Tavon Austin. Smith completed 19-of-28 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns. Bailey caught eight passes for 121 yards and two TDs. Austin led West Virginia with 45 yards rushing and finished the game with 150 all-purpose yards. All three players virtually rewrote the WVU record book and hold just about every offensive mark. West Virginia finished its inaugural Big 12 season with a 7-6 record, and the Pinstripe Bowl marked a school-record 11th straight bowl appearance by the Mountaineers.

“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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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 singlegame 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.

coaching staff
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 secured the funding for an $80 million soccer complex to house the Dynamos when the call came to return to his alma mater. BBVA Compass Stadium was built and opened in 2012 adding to Luck’s legacy with the professional soccer team, and the overall Houston sports facility complexes. He returned in May, 2012 for the opening ceremony of the soccer stadium that he fought so hard for. Prior to his current position at WVU, Luck was appointed 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 Beta 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 2000, he was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame. “It’s an incredible honor for me to be the athletic director at my alma mater,” said Luck. “I care deeply about this school, and WVU is truly one of the outstanding land-grant universities in the country. I am so pleased to be a part of the leadership team assembled under President Clements at a dynamic and strategic time in its history.” He is married to the former Kathy Wilson. They have two sons and two daughters: Andrew, a former All-American quarterback and two-time Heisman Trophy finalist at Stanford and No. 1 overall pick of the 2012 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts; Mary Ellen, a senior volleyball player at Stanford; Emily, a sophomore at Stanford and Addison, who attends Morgantown High.

S
uccessful at each of his previous career stops, Oliver Luck continues 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 made significant strides in his first three years to enhance WVU’s role as a major player in the collegiate world. In his first year, Luck hired four head coaches, while maintaining WVU’s superior level of success. In addition to new hires, Luck oversaw the progress of major capital projects, such as the $25 million WVU basketball practice facility for men’s and women’s basketball and the women’s soccer training complex. He also fostered an atmosphere for achievement and triumph in the classroom and on the field. In year two, Luck led WVU into the Big 12 Conference, oversaw the best fundraising year in school history, implemented several safety and crowd enhancements at Mountaineer sporting events, increased overall department revenue, continued a master plan for facility upgrades and watched his football program gain its third BCS bowl victory with a record-setting 70-33 win in the Orange Bowl. In year three, Luck oversaw the reseating of the WVU Coliseum to further increase WVU’s fundraising efforts. He added an 18th varsity sport - the return of men’s golf – Oliver Luck teeing it up in 2015 for the first time since 1982, and he continues his tireless work on facility upgrades to keep the Mountaineers competitive in the Big 12. 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 career-high 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 twotime 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. The two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American was the recipient of Today’s Top Five, presented for scholastics by the NCAA and was selected by the National Football Foundation as one of its 10 scholar-athletes to make a keynote speech at its annual banquet in 1982. Selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Houston Oilers (44th overall pick), Luck spent four years with the Oilers from 1982-86. His most extended action came in 1983 when he started six games and finished the season completing 124-of-217 passes for 1,375 yards and eight touchdowns.

GENERAL INFO
GENERAL INFO
MEDIA INFORMATION FOLLOWING ARE SOME GUIDELINES FOR COVERING THE 2013 MOUNTAINEERS. Credentials: All requests for working press, photo and broadcast credentials to cover West Virginia’s 2013 home football games 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 2013 and possibly the entire 2014 home season. After The Game: Coach Dana Holgorsen will conduct a postgame news conference in the Milan Puskar Center Team Room. Holgorsen’s news conference also can be heard over the press box PA. Requested WVU players also will be available in the team room. No media will be granted access to the West Virginia locker room. During The Week: Coach Dana Holgorsen will meet with the media each Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m., in the Team Room at the Puskar Center. He will be available on the Big 12 weekly conference call each Monday at 11:40 a.m. ET 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 phone number be given to the media. 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.
