West Virginia University is on probation until February 17, 2017, for violations involving impermissible telephone and text communications that occurred in a number of our athletics programs. Level II violations occurred in the following sports programs: women’s gymnastics, football, women’s basketball and women’s soccer. On a smaller scale, ten other sport programs, including baseball, men’s basketball, women’s diving, women’s rowing, men’s soccer, men’s swimming, women’s tennis, women’s track and field, women’s volleyball, and men’s wrestling and programs, also engaged in impermissible text and telephone-related activity. The penalties prescribed in this case, which included recruiting communication restrictions, off-campus recruiting restrictions and the loss of a scholarship in the sport of football, were served in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years.

2015 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Sept 5, 2015)

West Virginia.........................................44 Georgia Southern....................................... 0 Led by its veteran defense, West Virginia opened the 2015 season with an impressive, 44-0 shutout of Georgia Southern and its option offense. The Eagles did not complete a pass until late in the third quarter and were held to just two completions and 29 yards through the air. Leading the Mountaineer defensive performance was senior Karl Joseph with three interceptions and a forced fumble to go along with a game high eight tackles. For its part, the Mountaineer offense connected on big plays throughout the night and eventually broke the game open in the second half. The scoring started fairly early in the first quarter on the game’s opening possession. Much had been made in the preseason of West Virginia’s young and talented receiving corps and the season’s first touchdown went to a true freshman. Finishing off a nine-play, 87-yard drive was quarterback Skyler Howard’s 41-yard bomb to Jovon Durante, marking the freshman’s first career catch. West Virginia has an All-American kicker and Lou Groza finalist in junior Josh Lambert, and the Mountaineers put his leg to work for the rest of the first half. Lambert was called on to attempt his first field goal of the season at the 7:59 mark, and he converted from 26-yards out, ending the scoring in the opening quarter in favor of WVU, 10-0. Lambert’s kicking leg came in handy again in the second quarter as his 32-yard field goal ended a 66-yard scoring drive, before his 22-yarder closed a 65-yard drive and gave the Mountaineers a 16-0 advantage at the half. While West Virginia chalked up 319 yards of total offense in the first half, the Eagles had just 89 total yards but still only trailed by two scores. That soon changed in the second half, as the WVU offense erupted for 28 points and the first half field goals turned in to second half touchdowns. Joseph’s second interception set up running back Rushel Shell’s sixyard touchdown run at the 9:06 mark of the third. Howard then threw his second touchdown pass in the game at the 4:19 mark, when he found Shelton Gibson for a 26-yard scoring strike and a 30-0 Mountaineer advantage. Joseph’s third interception in the quarter led to West Virginia’s next score early in the fourth. Howard found receiver Daikiel Shorts Jr. for a 26-yard pass, setting up Wendell Smallwood’s 19-yard scoring run on the very next play. The rushing score sealed an impressive 85-yard drive in just six plays, giving WVU a 37-0 lead. The Mountaineers finished the game’s scoring with 2:26 left, when backup quarterback William Crest Jr. marched the Mountaineers on a 10-play, 41-yard drive that ended with Crest’s two-yard run. Gibson and Durante made their first starts for the Mountaineers and responded with 100-yard receiving efforts. Gibson had three catches for 130 yards and a score, while Durante finished with three receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown. Both long receptions by the two receivers went for 57 yards. Howard was solid with 16 completions for 359 yards, and Wendell Smallwood led the rushing effort with 96 yards and a score. In addition to the play of Joseph, a preseason All-American, the WVU defense got a strong performance out of senior linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski with seven tackles and two TFL Final totals for West Virginia stood at 185 yards rushing and 359 passing for 544 yards of total offense on just 66 plays for an average of 8.4 yards per play. With the win, West Virginia recorded back-to-back shutouts in home openers and improved to 88-31-4 all-time in season openers and 31-4-1 in openers at Milan Puskar Stadium.

2015 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Sept 12, 2015)

West Virginia.........................................41 Liberty........................................................... 17 West Virginia captured win No. 2 on the season with a 41-17 victory over Liberty at Milan Puskar Stadium. The Mountaineers used an efficient offense and solid defensive play to defeat the Flames. Efficiency came in the form of quarterback Skyler Howard who completed 21 passes on 26 attempts for 263 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively, West Virginia shut out the Flames in the first half, giving the unit seven straight quarters of shutout football dating back to 2014. Punter Nick O’Toole also kept Liberty in poor field position for most of the game by pinning two punts inside the three-yard line and averaging almost 50 yards per punt. The Mountaineer offense was able to march on the Flames in the first quarter with an 11-play and a 10-play drive that stalled in the red zone. Kicker Josh Lambert put the Mountaineers on the board at the 12:21 mark with a 28-yard field goal, followed by a 25-yarder at the 4:21 mark. Leading 6-0 going in the second quarter, West Virginia finally turned drives into touchdowns to open up a 20-0 lead at the half. Early in the second, Howard led the offense on a 71-yard drive that was highlighted by a 52-yard touchdown reception by receiver Shelton Gibson, upping the WVU advantage to 13-0. Running back Wendell Smallwood closed the scoring in the first half as he recovered his own fumble in the end zone for a West Virginia touchdown. Smallwood’s run capped an 11-play, 64-yard drive in 4:12. He gained four yards before fumbling and earned the additional yard by recovering the football in the end zone for the score. West Virginia added another touchdown in the third quarter before the Liberty offense got on track and lit up its side of the board. With 8:11 remaining in the third quarter, Howard again struck through the air with a 10-yard pass to Jovon Durante, putting the Mountaineers up 27-0. Liberty came into the game with a highly touted offense but after missing three field goals in the first half, the Flames did not get on the board until 4:35 was left in the quarter. Quarterback Josh Woodrum, who ran the Flame offense well in the first half only to have nothing to show for it, before connecting on a seven-yard touchdown to Todd Macon, ending a 78-yard drive. West Virginia answered the touchdown with one of its own with just 32 seconds left in the quarter. Howard tossed a four-yard pass to fullback Elijah Wellman for WVU’s sixth score on the day. Early in the fourth, Liberty kicker John Lunsford finally connected on a field goal by hitting a 49-yarder, putting the Flames deficit at 34-10. Woodrum then struck with the deep pass, hitting Zac Parker on a 60-yard scoring strike to put the score at 34-17 in favor of WVU. The Mountaineers ended the scoring with just 3:36 left on Smallwood’s five-yard rush. Aside from the efficiency of Howard, West Virginia got good offensive numbers from Smallwood with two scores and 88 yards rushing. Howard added 68 yards rushing to go along with his strong passing totals, and Gibson finished with 81 yards receiving, followed by Daikiel Shorts with 78 yards. On defense, linebackers Nick Kwiatkoski and Al-Rasheed Benton along with defensive back Dravon Askew-Henry all totaled seven tackles. For Liberty, Woodrum passed for 280 yards, Desmond Rice rushed for 37 and Dante’ Shells had 71 yards receiving to pace the office. On the defensive side of the ball for the Flames, Nick Newman and Avery James combined for 19 tackles, three TFL and one sack Final totals showed West Virginia with 172 yards rushing and 313 through the air for 485 yards of offense. Liberty rushed for 92 yards and passed for 280 to total 372 yards. With the win, WVU moves to 16-0 all-time against FCS schools.

2015 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Sept 26, 2015)

West Virginia.........................................45 Maryland......................................................... 6 No matter how you look at it, West Virginia turned in a dominating performance in game three of the 2015 season with a lopsided 45-6 victory over Maryland. Pregame festivities included the induction of the 25th WVU Sports Hall of Fame class, which included football’s Amos Zereoue, Ken Herock and Bobby Bowden, the 40th anniversary reunion of the 1975 Peach Bowl championship team and country music star Brad Paisley becoming only the second person in Milan Puskar Stadium history to sing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” live in a pregame performance. However, none of the festivities provided a distraction to the Mountaineers, who were focused on the non-conference matchup between the Big 12 and Big Ten. The Mountaineers started fast and never looked back. On WVU’s opening possession, quarterback Skyler Howard found fullback Elijah Welman for a seven-yard touchdown, and the score would pave the way for a 21-point first quarter for WVU. West Virginia started the game by scoring on four of its first five drives, with the lone non-scoring drive ending with a missed field goal. The West Virginia defense came up with five interceptions in the game, which put the Mountaineers in great field position, and an efficient offense made the most of the turnovers. WVU added to its seven-point advantage with a Wendell Smallwood four-yard rush, before closing the first quarter on Howard’s 15-yard touchdown pass to receiver Shelton Gibson. The first score of the second quarter was one of the prettiest deep scoring passes you will see as Howard hit Gibson in stride behind a Terps defender for a 41-yard touchdown strike and a 28-0 WVU advantage. That pass ended a five-play, 80-yard drive, and while the Mountaineer defense kept the pressure on, the offense kept its foot on the gas pedal. By adding two more scores before the half, West Virginia took a 38-0 lead in the locker room. Tailback Rushel Shell scored on a two-yard rush, and kicker Josh Lambert added a 48-yard field goal as time expired. WVU punter Nick O’Toole averaged 45.2 yards per punt with long punts of 56 and 54 yards to continue the poor field position for the Terps. O’Toole even managed to extend one WVU drive with a 13-yard fake punt on 4th-and-12. Relegated to a mostly running attack to kill the clock in the second half, West Virginia got its last score at the 12:48 mark of the fourth quarter, when Howard hit receiver Daikiel Shorts Jr., for a one-yard TD pass. Maryland managed to get on the board with 11:45 remaining, when Daxx Garmen converted on a 46-yard scoring pass to receiver Jahrvis Davenport. Smallwood had a big day rushing with 147 yards and one score. Shell contributed 77 yards rushing and more than 100 all-purpose yards. Howard once again was strong with 21 completions on 33 attempts for 294 yards and four touchdowns. Gibson hauled in six passes for 118 yards and two scores to lead all receivers. On defense, the Mountaineers held the Terps to just 80 total yards in the first half, including only three passing yards. Leading the unit was Jared Barber with five tackles, while Karl Joseph, KJ Dillion, Terrell Chestnut, Daryl Worley and Jeremy Tyler all recorded interceptions. Chestnut even saved a score by running down Terp running back Brandon Ross and forcing a fumble at the one-yard line that resulted in a touchback. Ross topped Maryland’s offense with 130 yards rushing, and Antwaine Carter collected 14 tackles and three TFLs. Final numbers showed WVU with a balanced 304 yards rushing and 297 passing for 601 total yards. Maryland finished with 173 on the ground and 153 passing for 326 total yards. WVU now has won two straight in the series with the Terps and leads 28-22-2.

NORMAN, OKLA. (Oct. 3, 2015)

Oklahoma..................................44 West Virginia............................. 24

No. 15/14 No. 23/21

No. 23/21 West Virginia suffered its first loss of the 2015 season with a 44-24 defeat at No. 15/14 Oklahoma in front of 83,384 fans at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The Mountaineers could not overcome two fumbles and three interceptions, resulting in 13 points for the Sooners. Oklahoma turned the ball over two times, but WVU could only muster three points off those turnovers. Both teams traded possessions to start the game, before the Sooners broke through on their second drive. Quarterback Baker Mayfield drove the Sooners 74 yards in four plays, finding Mark Andrews for a 17-yard touchdown pass to open the game’s scoring at the 8:45 mark of the first quarter. West Virginia answered at the beginning of the second quarter, when tailback Rushel Shell powered in from five yards away to tie the score at 7-7. Shell’s rush finished an 86-yard drive for the Mountaineers. The tie was short-lived as just 51 seconds later the Sooners took command once again as receiver Sterling Shepard hauled in a 28-yard pass from Mayfield to cap a 75-yard scoring drive. The Sooners went on to score three more times in the quarter for a 24-7 lead at the half. They increased their advantage to 17-7 on Austin Seibert’s 40-yard field goal, before tailback Joe Mixon closed the first-half scoring with a 35-yard scamper, ending an 83-yard drive. When the Sooners scored in the first half, they usually took advantage of the big play, finishing with 12 of 20 yards or more. First-half scoring drives for OU consumed 74, 75 and 83 yards. But the game was far from over and WVU came out strong in the third quarter to pull with three at 27-24 with 0:58 seconds left in the third. A Skyler Howard touchdown pass to freshman Jovon Durante at the 9:40 mark pulled the Mountaineers to within 10, at 24-14. Then West Virginia took advantage of a Sooner fumble and converted a 23-yard field goal by Josh Lambert to close the gap to 24-17 with 6:57 left in the third. Oklahoma bounced back with a 25-yard Seibert field goal, before Howard shocked the Sooner faithful with a 50-yard touchdown run on 4th-and-2, putting the score at 27-24 in favor of the Sooners with just 58 ticks left in the quarter. As the Mountaineers gained the momentum and seemingly were on the verge of taking control of the game, Oklahoma struck a deadly blow just 45 seconds later, when Mayfield found Durron Neal down the left sideline for a 71-yard touchdown dagger and a 34-24 OU advantage heading into the fourth. With West Virginia having to play catch-up, the Oklahoma defense unleashed a furious pass rush on the Mountaineers and turnovers aided the Sooners to 10 more points to end the scoring. Jordan Evans picked up a Howard fumble and raced 41 yards for a touchdown, before Seibert closed the scoring with a 44-field goal following a WVU interception. West Virginia had a strong day running the football as tailback Wendell Smallwood turned in his second straight 100-yard rushing performance with 111 yards on 22 carries. Shell added 72 yards to the ground attack. Linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski was solid for the Mountaineer defense with 11 tackles and one sack for a loss of six yards. Mayfield had a strong day for OU, finishing with 320 yards passing and three touchdowns. Dede Westbrook led the Sooner receivers with 107 yards on just five catches. For the second straight year, WVU could not handle OU’s Eric Striker, as he finished with 13 tackles, three TFLs and two sacks. OU totaled seven sacks and 12 TFLs in the game. Final numbers showed WVU with a solid running game of 196 yards to go along with 173 passing to total 369 yards. The Mountaineer defense held OU to just 107 yards rushing, but the Sooners struck for 320 yards passing to total 427 yards.

2015 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. (Oct. 10, 2015) - OT

Oklahoma State......................33 West Virginia............................................. 26 No. 21/19

Despite erasing a 15-point deficit in the second half, West Virginia could not overcome four turnovers and lost a 33-26 overtime decision to No. 21/19 Oklahoma State at sold-out Milan Puskar Stadium. The Mountaineers started slow, which enabled the Cowboys to build a 17-2 lead at the half. The first score in the game came at the 4:45 mark of the first quarter when defensive lineman Emmanuel Ogbah recovered a Skyler Howard fumble in the end zone for a 7-0 OSU advantage. Tailback Rushel Shell’s fumble set up Oklahoma State’s next score at the 14:02 mark of the second quarter. The Cowboys took advantage of great field position and padded their lead on Rennie Childs’ one-yard run. A Wendell Smallwood fumble deep in Oklahoma State territory was actually beneficial to the Mountaineers. While the fumble ended a scoring threat, it backed up the Cowboys so deep that WVU defensive lineman Kyle Rose’s sack of OSU quarterback Mason Rudolph resulted in a safety and the first two points of the night for the Mountaineers. First-half scoring ended at the 3:43 mark of the second quarter, when the Cowboys converted their longest drive of the half (76 yards) into a 21-yard Ben Grogan field goal for a 17-2 lead at the intermission. West Virginia got the ball to start the second half, and the comeback was on. The opening possession of the third quarter resulted in West Virginia’s first touchdown, as Smallwood rushed in from 29 yards out, putting the score at 17-9. The Cowboys were not rattled and answered the score at the 9:20 mark of the third, when backup QB J.W. Walsh hit Blake Jarwin in the back of the end zone for a four-yard scoring reception. After what turned out to be a key extra point miss, the Cowboys led 23-9 with plenty of time left. West Virginia scored the next 10 points in the game, with the first seven coming on Howard’s 48-yard bomb in stride to receiver Shelton Gibson to put the final touch on a 75-yard drive. Josh Lambert’s 38-yard field goal to start the fourth quarter made it a 23-19 game, but the Cowboys seemed poised to put the game away on Devante Averette’s interception on the WVU 11-yard line. The Mountaineer defense held the Cowboys to a field goal, setting the stage for the offense to tie the game. Howard led the Mountaineers on a 10-play, 68-yard drive that used a good mixture of the run and pass. It was his three-yard rush with just 2:44 remaining that tied the game at 26-26, thanks to the OSU missed extra point back in the third quarter, and set the stage for overtime. Oklahoma State started with the ball first and got down to the WVU two-yard line where the Cowboys faced a 4th-and-1. Coach Mike Gundy elected to go for a first down instead of kicking a field goal, and the run by Walsh not only resulted in a first down but a touchdown. West Virginia’s chance in overtime saw the Mountaineers get down to the OSU four-yard line, but the game ended when they could not convert on fourth down. The Mountaineer running game was strong behind Smallwood, who rushed for 147 yards. Howard finished with 188 yards passing, and Gibson led all receivers with 84 yards. Shaq Petteway led the defensive effort with eight tackles. Rudolph led the Oklahoma State rushers from his quarterback position with 48 yards in addition to 218 yards passing. David Glidden topped the Cowboy receiving effort with five catches for 50 yards, while Tre Flowers led the defense with 13 tackles. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 255 yards on the ground and 188 through the air for 443 yards of total offense. The Oklahoma State running game struggled to 134 yards rushing and mixed with 228 yards passing left the Cowboys with 362 yards of total offense.

WACO, TEXAS (Oct. 17, 2015)

Baylor.............................................62 West Virginia............................................. 38 No. 2/2

Baylor used five touchdown passes from quarterback Seth Russell to defeat West Virginia, 62-38, in front of 45,370 at McLane Stadium. The Bears threw six touchdown passes in all and posted 389 passing yards in the contest. Using a quick-strike offense and sustained drives, Baylor never trailed in handing West Virginia its third straight defeat. However, the Mountaineers did match the Baylor offensive explosion in the first half, tying the score and then pulling within three, before the half ended with a 10-point Baylor lead. Baylor scored first on the opening possession as the Bears went 80 yards in four plays to take a 7-0 lead on Russell’s 16-yard scamper. The big play in the drive was Russell’s 50-yard completion to receiver Corey Coleman. The Mountaineers answered the score with a big play, when quarterback Skyler Howard connected with receiver Shelton Gibson for a 70-yard pass play to tie the game at 7-7. Baylor added two more scores in the quarter, as Russell hit Coleman for a two-yard pass play to end a 73-yard drive. Kicker Chris Callahan then converted on a 36-yard field goal, giving the Bears a 17-7 advantage. Early second quarter action saw the Mountaineers pull to within three at 17-14, when Howard connected with Cody Clay for a six-yard touchdown reception. The Bears extended the lead to 10, when Coleman caught his second touchdown pass in the game on a 11-yard reception from Russell at the 12:24 mark. To close the first half, the teams traded field goals. West Virginia’s Josh Lambert converted on one from 25 yards with 4:55 left to end a 72-yard drive and cut the Baylor lead down to seven at 24-14. But the gap was extended back to 10 points with 1:42 left as a 10-play, 56-yard drive ended with a 36-yard Callahan field goal, giving Baylor a 2717 advantage at the half. While West Virginia kept the game in striking distance in the first half, third quarter action saw Baylor outscore the Mountaineers 21-7 to break the game open. Coleman’s third touchdown catch was a 33-yarder from Russell, ending an 82-yard drive, while teammate Jay Lee added touchdown catches of 36 yards and 52 yards in the quarter, ending drives of 75 and 52 yards for the Bears. West Virginia’s score in the quarter came at the 7:15 mark, when Howard hit true freshman David Sills for a 35-yard touchdown toss. Sills, listed on the roster as a quarterback, saw his first action and performed well as a receiver, catching two passes for 64 yards. Both teams added two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Running back Shock Linwood scored for Baylor on an 11-yard run, and Trevor Clemmons-Valdez hauled in a nine-yard touchdown catch. West Virginia’s scores came on a five-yard pass from Howard to Daikiel Shorts and a pretty 100-yard kickoff return by Gibson. On the day, Howard finished with a solid 289 yards passing and four touchdowns. Wendell Smallwood led the rushing effort with 89 yards, and Gibson’s strong day included three catches for 92 yards, along with 185 yards in returns to total 277 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns. On the defensive side, linebacker Shaq Petteway led the way with eight tackles. Russell led the Baylor attack with 380 yards passing and five touchdowns. Along with his rushing score, he accounted for six touchdowns in the game and added an impressive 160 rushing yards to total 540 yards of total offense. Coleman caught 199 of those passing yards and collected three scores. The offensive showdown saw WVU with 471 yards of total offense on 83 plays, while Baylor collected 693 total yards on 84 plays. With the win, Baylor evened the series with West Virginia at 2-2.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (Oct. 29, 2015)

TCU.................................................40 West Virginia............................................. 10 No. 5/3

No. 5/3 TCU used 472 yards of total offense from senior quarterback Trevone Boykin to defeat West Virginia, 40-10, in a Thursday night encounter at Amon G. Carter Stadium. Boykin completed 32 passes for 388 yards and three touchdowns, in addition to leading the Horned Frogs in rushing with 84 yards and one score. Boykin was one half of the TCU dynamic duo, as receiver Josh Doctson continued to prove why he is one of the best receivers in the country. Doctson teamed with Boykin to be on the receiving end of 11 catches for 183 yards and two touchdowns, as the TCU offense was simply too much to handle on this pleasant fall night in Fort Worth. TCU started the scoring with a 12-play, 91-yard drive that saw Doctson pull in a 17-yard touchdown pass from Boykin at the 8:46 mark of the first quarter. The Horned Frogs added two more scores in the quarter to open up a 17-0 advantage. Boykin finished off an 81-yard drive with a two-yard rushing touchdown. The scoring run came after he had already turned in runs of 27 and 31 yards on the drive. With 1:01 left in the quarter, kicker Jaden Oberkrom added a 20-yard field goal to close the scoring in the first 15 minutes of play. West Virginia battled back early in the second quarter, when junior quarterback Skyler Howard found his favorite receiver, Shelton Gibson, for a 32-yard scoring toss. The Mountaineers then closed the gap to just seven points at the 5:02 mark, when kicker Josh Lambert converted on a 51-yard field goal, putting the score at 17-10. However, from that point on the scoring was all TCU. The Horned Frogs struck back with two more Oberkrom field goals to take a 23-10 lead at the half. The kicker hit from 23 yards out with 1:05 left in the half, and then made good from 57 yards as time expired for the 13-point TCU advantage. The bad news for West Virginia was that TCU got the ball first in the third quarter and took advantage of a 29-yard Boykin run and a 21-yard rush from tailback Aaron Green to set up a seven-yard touchdown pass from Boykin to Kyle Hicks. Before the home faithful got back in their seats to start the second half, the Horned Frogs had extended their lead to 30-10. One more TCU score in the third quarter came at the 9:25 mark, when Boykin hooked up with Doctson again, this time for a nine-yard scoring toss to end an 82-yard drive in 2:11. The final points came off the leg of Oberkrom with 14:05 left. He connected on his fourth field goal, this one from 43 yards, to give the Horned Frogs a 40-10 advantage. Aside from the impressive play from Boykin and Doctson, Oberkrom added 16 points in the win, and Ty Summers topped the Horned Frogs defensive effort with 10 tackles. The Mountaineers were hurt by several dropped passes and nine penalties for 114 yards, but did find a bright spot in the rushing of tailback Wendell Smallwood, who had 113 yards. Defenders KJ Dillon, Nick Kwiatkoski and Noble Nwachukwu added seven tackles each and combined for four TFLs and one sack. Punter Nick O’Toole was solid with a 45.6 punting average on seven punts with a long of 54 yards. Final totals in the game saw West Virginia with 167 yards rushing and 160 passing for 327 yards of total offense. TCU totaled 228 yards on the ground and 388 through the air for 616 yards of offense. TCU ran 88 plays compared to West Virginia’s 76, while the Horned Frogs averaged 7.0 yards per play compared to WVU’s 4.3. The loss was the fourth straight for the Mountaineers on the season, and TCU now leads the overall series between the two teams at 3-2.

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. (Nov. 7, 2015)

West Virginia.........................................31 Texas Tech.................................................. 26 West Virginia broke a four-game losing streak with a 31-26 victory over Texas Tech at Milan Puskar Stadium. Say what you want about West Virginia’s air raid offense, but it was the running game that got it done for the Mountaineers in this victory. The one-two punch of tailbacks Wendell Smallwood and Rushel Shell combined for 274 of West Virginia’s 300 total rushing yards in leading the offensive attack. Smallwood gained 163 yards on 22 carries for a 7.4 average per rush, while Shell complemented the attack with 111 yards on 14 carries and a 7.9 yards per rush average. Smallwood found the end zone once, while Shell scored twice as the two simply dominated the West Virginia offensive output. In what was billed as a high-scoring, offensive game, turned out to be a medium output as the two offenses scored, but also struggled at times. The Mountaineers started the scoring at the 9:45 mark of the first quarter, when Shell turned in a five-yard scoring run. Before the quarter ended, the Red Raiders answered with a 66-yard drive capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Jakeem Grant, sending the game into the second stanza tied at 7-7. Once again, the teams traded touchdowns in the second quarter, and as the game continued, it was apparent that this was a Big 12 matchup of two evenly matched teams. West Virginia regained the lead with 13:29 left in the half, as Smallwood found the end zone after a 16-yard run. The score put the exclamation point on a strong 91-yard drive by WVU that took 11 plays and 3:38 off the clock. Texas Tech answered the score with just 35 ticks left, when Reginald Davis hauled in a 9-yard scoring pass from Mahomes. However, instead of going in at the half tied at 14-14, West Virginia took advantage of a short squib kick by Texas Tech and made the Red Raiders pay. Quarterback Skyler Howard hit receiver Ka’Raun White for 17 yards, and Shell followed with rushes of 17 and 14 yards to set up Josh Lambert’s 39yard field goal as time expired for a 17-14 Mountaineer lead at the half. Texas Tech tied the game at the 8:36 mark of the third quarter on Clayton Hatfield’s 34-yarder. The WVU defense was given a short field as Tech gained the ball off of an interception, but held the Red Raiders to a field goal. Before the end of the third, Shell’s five-yard touchdown run ended a 65yard drive and gave the Mountaineers a 24-17 advantage heading into the final quarter. The Red Raiders closed the gap to 24-20 early in the fourth on Hatfield’s second field goal, this one from 27-yards away. Tech gained the ball off a second WVU interception, but the Mountaineer defense came up big again and gave up only three points. Leading 24-20, Howard drove the Mountaineers 59 yards and punched in their final score with a two-yard run to up the advantage to 31-20 with 11:28 left. Texas Tech added a 17-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to DeAndre Washington with 6:47 left, but the Red Raiders never got the ball back. Leading 31-26, West Virginia used the running game mixed with some key passes to hold the ball for the final 6:47 and gain its first Big 12 win of the season. Aside from Smallwood and Shell, the WVU offense got 80 yards receiving from White, while KJ Dillon recorded nine tackles. Washington rushed for 102 yards for Tech, and Micah Awe led the defense with 14 tackles. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 449 yards of total offense to Tech’s 378, as the Mountaineer defense did a solid job on the Red Raider high-powered offense. With the win, WVU evened its mark against Tech at 2-2 in all-time Big 12 play.

2015 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. (Nov. 14, 2015)

West Virginia.........................................38 Texas............................................................. 20 West Virginia took advantage of five Texas turnovers to defeat the Longhorns, 38-20, in front of 56,736 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. A chilly, but sunny, November Saturday afternoon was the setting for this Big 12 contest that saw West Virginia score 24 points off of Longhorn miscues en route to the win. A strong Mountaineer running game was paced by the play of tailback Wendell Smallwood. He rushed for 165 yards and averaged 6.9 yards per carry as he went over the 1,000-yard mark for the season. In fact, the WVU running game was so effective that the Mountaineers only threw the ball 12 times. Quarterback Skyler Howard made the most of those by completing 10, with two going for touchdowns. Texas struck first with 7:31 in the first quarter on a 31-yard field goal by kicker Nick Rose. While the West Virginia offense seemed to be sputtering, it was the Mountaineer defense that kick started the day. Linebacker Jared Barber picked up D’onta Foreman fumble and returned it 42 yards for a 7-3 WVU advantage. It didn’t take long for Texas to answer as Foreman made up for the fumble with a 65-yard touchdown run on the next Longhorn play from scrimmage, putting the score at 10-7 heading to the second. West Virginia regained the lead for good at the 8:17 mark of the second quarter, when Elijah Wellman’s one-yard rush closed out a 56-yard drive and gave WVU a 14-10 advantage. Late in the second quarter, Texas was marching on a 12-play, 53-yard drive, and reached the West Virginia 25-yard line, when linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski forced a fumble that Daryl Worley recovered to end the drive. Instead of playing conservatively, the Mountaineers attacked. After three straight rushes from Smallwood gained 34 yards, Howard went to the air and hit Jovon Durante in stride for a 53-yard touchdown pass and a 21-10 lead at the half. Texas came out strong in the third quarter and took the opening possession 80 yards for a score in 6:21. Quarterback Jerrod Heard found Daje Johnson for a five-yard touchdown, cutting the deficit to 21-17 with 8:33 left in the quarter. However, it was all West Virginia from that point on as the Mountaineers outscored the Longhorns 17-3 to close out the game. Texas did move the ball in the second half on the Mountaineer defense, but the bend but not break unit keep coming up with big plays and turnovers to keep the Longhorns off the scoreboard. Howard found receiver Daikiel Shorts Jr., for an eight-yard touchdown pass in the third, before the Mountaineers recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. A 19-yard Josh Lambert field goal gave the Mountaineers a 31-17 lead, before Rose answered with a 34-yarder for Texas at the 9:21 mark of the fourth. West Virginia’s Kwiatkowski intercepted a Heard pass on Texas’ next possession, and Howard sealed the game with a two-yard scoring run. Kwiatkoski’s big defensive day ended with nine tackles, one TFL, one forced fumble, one pass deflection and one interception. Foreman led the Longhorns with 147 yards rushing, and Johnson caught four passes for 76 yards. Heard finished with 162 yards passing and one score. On defense, Texas got 11 tackles from Malik Jefferson. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 257 yards rushing and 122 passing for 379 yards of offense. Texas had a better day on offense with 277 rushing and 162 passing for 439 total yards. However, the only numbers that mattered were the final ones on the scoreboard. The win upped West Virginia’s record to 5-4 on the season, and evened the Big 12 series record with Texas at 2-2.

LAWRENCE, KAN. (Nov. 21, 2015)

West Virginia.........................................49 Kansas............................................................. 0 West Virginia turned in a strong performance on all three sides of the ball to defeat Kansas, 49-0, at Memorial Stadium. The Mountaineers had three players top 100 yards rushing for the first time since 1969 as the ground game racked up an impressive 426 yards. Quarterback Skyler Howard was strong with his legs, leading the team with 129 yards rushing and a 14.3 average per carry. Tailback Wendell Smallwood recorded his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game with 115 yards, while backfield mate Rushel Shell added another 108 yards to the ground attack. On defense, West Virginia recorded its second shutout of the season and held the Jayhawks to just 94 yards rushing in a dominating performance that included three interceptions, along with holding the Jayhawks to just 2-of-15 on third downs. Punter Nick O’Toole showed why he is one of the nation’s best punters, ranking No. 7 nationally, as he averaged 53 yards per punt into the strong winds of Lawrence. O’Toole had a long punt of 64 yards and totaled three punts of more than 50 yards. By scoring 28 points in the first quarter and never looking back, West Virginia put the game out of reach from the onset. On their second possession, the Mountaineers cashed in on a 63yard drive with an eight-yard Shell carry for a 7-0 lead. Two Kansas plays later, WVU’s Terrell Chestnut intercepted a Ryan Willis pass and returned it 32 yards for the touchdown and a 14-0 West Virginia advantage. After one of many defensive stops by WVU, Shell’s 26-yard scamper put the finishing touches on a 76-yard drive with 7:33 left in the opening quarter, upping the West Virginia lead to 21-0. Smallwood got in on the scoring action with 3:26 left, when he rushed in from 24-yards out, giving the Mountaineers a 28-0 lead. Smallwood’s run capped a 75-yard drive in eight plays as West Virginia scored on four of its first five possessions. Along with Chestnut’s 32-yard interception return, scoring drives for the Mountaineers in the first quarter tallied 63, 76 and 75 yards. Second-quarter action saw the Mountaineers add two more scores to take a 42-0 lead at halftime. Howard threw his only touchdown pass in the game at the 10:05 mark, when he hit Cody Clay for a two-yard toss. It was Clay’s second catch of the season and second touchdown. The final score of the half came from the legs of Howard. His previous runs and throws set up scores, but this time he took it himself, and his nine-yard scoring run with 5:37 left in the half closed out the scoring. The second half provided the opportunity for the Mountaineer coaching staff to play several players and give the starters a break. Howard only played one possession of the second half, and made the most of it by leading the offense on an 11-play, 72-yard drive in 4:03 that ended with Smallwood’s second touchdown run. From there, it was up to the WVU defense to preserve the shutout, and the unit turned in two more interceptions to end scoring threats and keep the Jayhawks off the board. Jordan Thompson led the Mountaineer receivers with six catches for 68 yards, while Nana Kyeremeh topped the strong defensive effort with five tackles. Kansas got 127 yards passing from quarterback Ryan Willis and 64 yards receiving from Tre’ Parmalee. Joe Dineen was tremendous on defense for the Jayhawks with 16 solo tackles, one TFL and one pass deflection West Virginia finished with 630 yards of total offense, while Kansas totaled 221 yards. The win made the Mountaineers bowl eligible for the fourth time in five years.

2015 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. (Nov. 28, 2015)

West Virginia.........................................30 Iowa State...................................................... 6 West Virginia won its fourth straight game with a 30-6 decision over Iowa State at Milan Puskar Stadium. The game marked the final home appearance for 20 Mountaineer seniors, who left the home turf one last time with a victory celebration and the singing of “Take Me Home, Country Roads”. The win also evened West Virginia’s Big 12 record at 4-4, after starting the conference season at 0-4 and gave the Mountaineers their 50th football season with at least seven wins, including 13 of the last 14 campaigns. A steady drizzle and an unseasonably warm day served as the backdrop for this Big 12 encounter that served as Iowa State Coach Paul Rhoads’ last game with the Cyclones. The Mountaineers were all business from the start and never trailed in the game, despite offensive struggles in the first half. West Virginia’s defense kept the Cyclones at a distance, until the offense found its grove in the second half. West Virginia’s defensive day included five sacks, 10 tackles for loss, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and five pass deflections in recording its second straight game holding an opponent without a touchdown. After KJ Dillon returned an interception 25 yards, quarterback Skyler Howard wasted no time in making the Cyclones pay for the turnover. On the first play of the drive, Howard hit receiver Shelton Gibson, who made some nifty moves in the open field on his way to scoring a 60-yard touchdown West Virginia carried the 7-0 lead into the second quarter, when Iowa State got on the board with a 33-yard Cole Netten field goal. The scoring drive consumed 5:02 and set the tone for the game as Iowa State controlled the time of possession battle by nearly six minutes, but was kept out of the end zone. Netten’s early second quarter field goal was the first of four field goals in the stanza, two for each team. West Virginia’s Josh Lambert answered with a 40-yard field goal at the 12:56 mark, which was set up by a 53-yard kickoff return from Gibson. After a Daryl Worley interception in Cyclone territory, Lambert followed with a 30-yarder with 7:03 left in the half. The timing of the field goal was important, because Iowa State kept the ball for the remaining 7:03, converting two fake punts and moving 43 yards in 19 plays. As time expired, Netten added three more points to ISU’s side of the scoreboard with a 49 yarder, putting the score at 13-6 in favor of WVU at the half. WVU scored 17 unanswered points in the second half, with 10 coming in the third. Lambert connected with his third field goal, at the 7:31 mark, from 34-yards out for a 16-6 Mountaineer advantage. Then, Howard got West Virginia back into the end zone with 3:38 left in the quarter on a 32-yard run. Tailback Rushel Shell closed the scoring with 10:22 left on a nine-yard touchdown run after a defensive stand stopped the Cyclones deep in their own territory. Howard led the Mountaineers in rushing from his quarterback position with 73 yards, followed by 72 from Wendell Smallwood. Howard passed for 202 yards, while Gibson totaled six catches for a career-high 148 yards and 201 all-purpose yards. The Mountaineer defense was led by Shaq Petteway’s eight tackles, including 1.5 sacks and 2.5 TFLs. Iowa State got 74 yards rushing from Mike Warren and 74 yards receiving from Allen Lazard to top its offensive numbers. Qujuan Floyd led the defense with six tackles, one interception and one pass deflection. West Virginia passed for 202 and rushed for 213 to total 415 yards. Iowa State posted final numbers of 93 yards rushing and 191 passing for 284 total yards. The win gave WVU a 3-1 series lead over Iowa State.

MANHATTAN, KAN. (Dec. 5, 2015)

Kansas State.........................................24 West Virginia............................................. 23 Kansas State overcame deficits of 10 points at halftime and six points in the fourth quarter to defeat WVU, 24-23, at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. West Virginia led for a good portion of the game, but the Wildcats were fighting to become bowl eligible and kept it close enough to squeeze out the victory in the final Big 12 game of the regular season. After trading two possessions to start the game, West Virginia got on the board first with a 45-yard Josh Lambert field goal at the 2:48 mark. Kansas State could not get anything going offensively, but took advantage of a WVU fumbled punt to start a drive at the Mountaineer 48-yard line. The Wildcats moved 25 yards, before kicker Matt McCrane converted on a 40-yard field goal to tie the game at 3-3 with 11:06 left in the half. After the teams traded punts twice, West Virginia scored the game’s first touchdown with 2:36 left. Set up by a Daryl Worley interception, the Mountaineers moved the ball 47 yards in just five plays, as quarterback Skyler Howard connected with freshman receiver Jovon Durante for a 24-yard touchdown pass and a 10-3 West Virginia advantage. After missing a 44-yard field goal on its next possession, West Virginia got one more chance to score before the half ended thanks to a stingy defensive unit that continued to force three-and-outs on K-State. With just 52 seconds left in the half, West Virginia moved the ball 61 yards and almost scored a touchdown, but running back Wendell Smallwood was stopped short of the end zone at the one-yard line. With time running out, Lambert made good on this field goal try from 19 yards out, giving the Mountaineers a 13-3 advantage at the half. Kansas State started the second half quickly with a 67-yard kickoff return by Morgan Burns to the WVU 33-yard line. Quarterback Joe Hubener was hurt on K-State’s first play from scrimmage, and the game changed from that moment. Receiver Kody Cook stepped in at quarterback and energized the Wildcats. He moved K-State 29 yards in four plays and scored on a oneyard plunge to close the gap to 13-10. Kansas State took its first lead of the game on its next possession when Cook hit Deante Burton for a 77-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the drive, giving the Wildcats a 17-13 lead with 11:06 left in the third. West Virginia regained the lead with 6:16 left in the quarter when Smallwood rushed in from 14 yards out. The Mountaineers padded their lead to 23-17 with 12:53 left to play on Lambert’s 28-yard field goal, which was set up by a 51-yard pass completion from Howard to receiver Jordan Thompson. After Lambert’s field goal, special teams bit the Mountaineers to provide the game’s final score. After having kickoff returns of 35 and 67 yards, Burns took the ensuing kickoff from Nick O’Toole 97 yards for a touchdown and a 24-23 Kansas State lead with 12:53 left to play. The Wildcat defense came up big the rest of the game and stopped the Mountaineers on a crucial fourth-and-one play late in the fourth quarter that enabled them to run out the clock. Smallwood rushed for an impressive 141 yards, while Thompson had 127 yards receiving. Linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski led the defense with eight solo tackles, one sack, 2 TFL and one interception. Kansas State got 201 return yards from Burns and 135 yards receiving from Burton to spark its offense. Charmeachealle Moore had a strong night for the Wildcat defense with 17 tackles, two sacks and four TFL. West Virginia controlled the final statistics with 166 yards rushing and 281 passing for 447 yards of total offense. Kansas State finished with 98 yards on the ground and 206 through the air for 304 total yards. WVU finished the season at 7-5 overall and 4-5 in Big 12 play.

MOTEL 6 CACTUS BOWL - PHOENIX, ARIZ. (JAN. 2, 2016)

West Virginia.........................................43 Arizona State............................................. 42 In one of the wildest bowl games of the year, West Virginia rallied from a six-point deficit late the fourth quarter to grab an exciting 43-42 victory over Arizona State in the Motel 6 Cactus Bowl. The teams from the Big 12 and Pac-12 Conferences combined for nine lead changes and an offensive showcase in front of 39,321 fans at Chase Field. Field goals dominated the first quarter of play as West Virginia’s Josh Lambert connected on tries of 21, 31 and 27 yards, while ASU’s Zane Gonzalez converted his lone attempt of 37 yards. Despite outgaining the Sun Devils, 236-42, in first quarter total offense, the Mountaineers only led 9-3 heading into the second quarter. Arizona State’s offense began to heat up as a 19-yard pass from quarterback Mike Bercovici to Devin Lucien gave ASU a 10-9 lead with 9:59 left. WVU then went 80 yards in just three plays and scored its first touchdown, when quarterback Skyler Howard connected with receiver Shelton Gibson for a 59-yard touchdown pass. After a 19-yard field goal by Gonzalez, West Virginia went to the air again. Howard hit Daikiel Shorts Jr., for a 10-yard scoring toss to end a 75-yard drive. The ensuing PAT was blocked and returned by Tim White for two Sun Devil points, before ASU added another Gonzalez field goal as the half expired to put the score at 22-18 in favor of West Virginia, despite outgaining the Sun Devils, 395-256, in total first half yards. ASU had the first possession of the second half and went 66 yards for a touchdown when Bercovici hit White for a two-yard pass. However, West Virginia answered the score just 1:32 later when Howard went deep once again, hitting Gary Jennings for a 64-yard touchdown, to give the Mountaineers a 29-25 lead. The two teams continued their back-and-forth battle as Bercovici put Arizona State back in front at the 4:35 mark of the third, hitting White for a 33-yard touchdown and a 32-29 Sun Devil advantage. Not to be outdone, West Virginia closed the third quarter scoring with a four-play, 75-yard drive that ended with Howard’s second touchdown pass in the game to Shorts, this one from 17 yards, to put the Mountaineers back in front, 36-32, heading to the fourth quarter. Arizona State pulled to within 36-35 at the 14:09 mark of the fourth quarter on Gonzalez’s fourth field goal of the night, and the Sun Devils regained the lead with just 4:56 left, when Bercovici connected with Gary Chambers for a 58-yard touchdown pass, giving ASU a 42-36 lead. However, the Mountaineer offense was clicking all night, and the game was far from over. On its next possession, West Virginia got 11 yards on a rush from Howard, a 20-yard completion to Jordan Thompson, a 13-yard completion to Shorts and a big 24-yard run from tailback Wendell Smallwood on third-and-23 to move to the ASU 15-yard line. Howard then connected with receiver David Sills for a 15-yard touchdown and a 43-42 WVU lead. The Mountaineer defense went on to hold ASU on six plays to break a two-game bowl losing streak for West Virginia. Howard was the game’s offensive MVP, throwing for 532 yards and five scores. The Mountaineers had two 100-yard receivers in Gibson with 143 yards and Ka’Raun White with 116. The two were followed closely by Shorts with 97 yards. Linebacker Shaq Petteway earned defensive MVP honors with six tackles, two TFLs and one pass deflection. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 144 yards rushing and 532 passing to total 676 yards of total offense. Arizona State netted 102 yards rushing and 418 passing for 520 yards of offense. The victory ended West Virginia’s season at 8-5 and marked the second straight bowl win for the Mountaineers in the state of Arizona

West Virginia in the Rankings

Since the Associated Press football poll was established in 1936, West Virginia football and the national rankings have evolved into a regular pairing. Beginning with Pappy Lewis’ magnificent 1953 team that finished No. 10 in the nation and played in the 1954 Sugar Bowl, 18 Mountaineer teams have finished the season rated among the nation’s best by either AP, United Press International or USA Today. The Associated Press rankings began in 1936, United Press International in 1950 and ESPN/USA Today in 1982.

GENERAL Information WVU President E. Gordon Gee.................. 204

WVU Director of Athletics Shane Lyons....... 205 WVU Intercollegiate Athletics....................... 206 Media Information........................................ 208

E.GORDONGee PRESIDENT

Dr. E. Gordon Gee is one of America’s most prominent higher education leaders, having served as president of some of the most prestigious public and private universities for more than three decades. When he returned to lead West Virginia University in 2014 as the institution’s 24th president, it was a homecoming of sorts. He was first named WVU president in 1981 at age 36 – at the time, considered among the youngest persons to ever serve as a university president. He led WVU until 1985 when he went on to presidencies at the University of Colorado (1985-90), Brown University (1998-2000) and Vanderbilt University (2001-07). He served as president of The Ohio State University from 1990-97 and again from 2007-13. On his return to the Morgantown campus, he said, “This is not a job to me; it is a calling.” His leadership style bears that out as he works tirelessly to advance the University’s land-grant mission and open doors to the American dream. In his latest address to the University community, he called for reinventing education for our young people, on our campuses, throughout our state and beyond; transforming health care for our citizens; and cultivating prosperity in our communities. “Doing our best for the 1.8 million people of West Virginia is our noblest calling and our proudest distinction,” he said. Gee has built a special relationship with the students as well as the state’s citizens, making it a point to visit students where they live, learn and socialize -- and visiting all 55 West Virginia counties during his inaugural year – and at least half in subsequent years. Born in Vernal, Utah, Gee graduated from the University of Utah with an honors degree in history and earned his J.D. and Ed.D. degrees from Columbia University. He clerked under Chief Justice David T. Lewis of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals before being named a judicial fellow and staff assistant to the U.S. Supreme Court. In this role, he worked for Chief Justice Warren Burger on administrative and legal problems of the Court and federal judiciary. Gee returned to Utah as an associate professor and associate dean in the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University, and was granted full professorship in 1978. One year later, he became dean of the WVU College of Law, and, in 1981, was named WVU’s 19th president. Gee serves on several education-governance organizations and committees, including the Big 12 Conference Council of Presidents and formerly the Business Higher Education Forum and the American Association of Universities. He was chair of the American Council on Education’s Commission on Higher Education Attainment and served as co-chair of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities’ Energy Advisory Committee. In 2009, King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia invited him to join its international advisory board. In 2009, Time magazine named him one of the top 10 university presidents in the United States. Active in many national professional and service organizations, he is on the executive committee of the National 4-H Council Board of Trustees and serves on the Board of Directors of the American Council on Education, the nation’s largest higher education organization. He has also served on the boards for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Limited Brands.

In 2011, Gee began serving as secretary on the Board of Directors of Ohio’s economic development program, JobsOhio. In 2011-12, Governor John Kasich asked him to chair the Ohio Higher Education Capital Funding Collaborative and the Ohio Higher Education Funding Commission. In December 2012, he began serving on the Columbus Education Commission. Gee has received many honorary degrees, awards, fellowships and recognitions. He is a fellow of the prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest science organization. In 1994, Gee received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Utah, as well as from Teachers College of Columbia University. In 2013, he received the ACE Council of Fellows/Fidelity Investments Mentor Award and the Outstanding Academic Leader of the Year Award on behalf of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. He is the co-author of 11 books, including Law, Policy and Higher Education, published in 2012. He has also authored many papers and articles on law and education. Gee’s daughter, Rebekah, is the Medicaid Medical Director for the State of Louisiana, and an assistant professor of Public Health and Medicine at Louisiana State University. She is also a Norman F. Gant/American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology/IOM Anniversary Fellow. Dr. Rebekah Gee is married to David Patrón and they have five children.

SHANELyons DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Since being named Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Associate Vice President at West Virginia University in January 2015, Shane Lyons has not been interested in headlines, he’s been interested in results. Working furiously behind the scenes, Lyons rolls up his sleeves every day for the betterment of WVU’s student-athletes, fans and athletic department. In his second year on the job, he keeps his fingers on the pulse of more than $110 million in athletic facility improvements that will be completed in the next year. In fact, his first year on the job can be defined as a year of fan enhancements to the WVU Coliseum and Milan Puskar Stadium as he has worked tirelessly to modernize 46- and 36-year-old facilities. Next up on his agenda are student-athlete enhancements with a new Olympic sport weight and training room. Also in the coming year, Lyons will continue to work with the Morgantown community on bringing a $45 million aquatic and track center to Morgantown, which will provide health and fitness benefits to all ages. When he’s not in his office, he’s an energized fundraiser where his efforts and honesty are appreciated by Mountaineer Athletic Club donors. Lyons oversees 18 varsity sports, a department budget of approximately $88 million, 200 employees, and approximately 500 student-athletes. He has already put the finishing touches on a $21 million baseball park and renovations are in the final stages to the football and basketball facilities that will bring long overdue new restrooms, concessions, ADA seating and fan comfort. Leaving the headlines to others, Lyons, confidently behind the scenes, directed a department in his first year that brought an 18th national championship for rifle, 30 All Americans, 110 All-Conference performers, 18 academic award winners and 109 Academic All-Conference selections. His work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team, as well as the Big 12 Conference and other national committees has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He currently serves on the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee. Lyons came to West Virginia after spending three years as the deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer at Alabama where he worked closely on day-to-day strategic leadership and direction of the Crimson Tide Athletic program. During his time at Alabama, his responsibilities included oversight of a $120 million budget, management of the day-to-day operations of the department and oversight of the Crimson Tide’s 21 sports teams. In addition, he played a pivotal role in a historic renegotiation of Alabama’s multimedia rights agreement that started in 2014 and was involved in several significant capital projects totaling more than $85 million. The Crimson Tide won seven national titles in five different sports during his time there – two in football, two in men’s golf, one in women’s golf, one in gymnastics and one in softball. He also played a critical role in the hiring of four Alabama head coaches. Prior to joining the Alabama staff in November 2011, Lyons spent 10 years as an associate commissioner at the Atlantic Coast Conference. At the ACC, Lyons focused on conference-wide compliance and academic initiatives, providing direct assistance to the conference’s presidents, chancellors and athletics directors in matters dealing with NCAA regulatory matters. In addition, he served as the ACC’s human resource manager and was responsible for the administration, negotiation and mediation of the employee benefits program and managing the conference’s organizational policies and procedures. He was part of the senior administrative team for ACC events, including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament

WVUFOOTBALL

and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events. He also was a member and served as chairman on many prominent committees within the NCAA Governance structure during his tenure with the ACC. Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive monitoring systems. He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units. Before joining Texas Tech, Lyons worked at the NCAA for almost 10 years as a senior membership services representative, where he was responsible for the oversight and coordination of the 25 membership service representatives. Lyons began his career in college athletics in July 1988 as assistant commissioner of the Big South Conference. With the Big South, he was in charge of conference-wide compliance and championships. A native of Parkersburg, West Virginia, and a graduate of Parkersburg High, Lyons was a standout basketball player for the Big Reds. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sport management from WVU in 1987 and 1988, respectively. He and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke. Lyons is the University’s 12th athletic director.

Due to the demand for working credentials, media regularly assigned to cover WVU and the visiting school will receive priority.

No children (under the age of 16) 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 2016 and possibly the entire 2017 home season.
