For the second time in six years West Virginia is facing Syracuse in a bowl game, and hopefully this time around it will be a lot warmer for both teams when they meet in Orlando, Florida, on Friday, Dec. 28 in the 2018 Camping World Bowl. Their last meeting six years ago in the Pinstripe Bowl was an unpleasant experience for fans who had to endure freezing temperatures and frequent snow squalls inside spacious Yankee Stadium. For years, West Virginia and Syracuse had an extensive history when the two storied Northeastern programs met on an annual basis from 1955 to 2012. West Virginia won eight in a row during one stretch from 2002 to 2009, but Syracuse upset the 20th-ranked Mountaineers in Morgantown in 2009 and also claimed the final Big East meeting between the two at the Carrier Dome in 2011 before capturing the Pinstripe Bowl meeting a year later. Earning a bowl invitation is new territory for a Syracuse program that will be making its first bowl trip since 2013 when the Orange defeated Minnesota, 21-17, in the Texas Bowl. Syracuse, ranked 17th in the final regular season AP poll, got to Orlando this year by generating its most victories in 17 years, the Orange going 9-3 this season and finishing second to Clemson in the ACC’s Atlantic Division. Syracuse’s most impressive victory of the season came against 22nd-ranked NC State on Oct. 27 when it outlasted the Wolfpack, 5141, in the Carrier Dome. The Orange also routed Florida State, 30-7, got by North Carolina, 40-37, and finished up the regular season with an outstanding, 42-21 victory at Boston College.

In that game, senior quarterback Eric Dungey bounced back from an upper body injury sustained in the Notre Dame loss a week prior to complete 21-of-34 passes for 362 yards and three touchdowns while also running for three scores. Dungey is yet another mobile quarterback West Virginia’s defense will have to try and contain. The Lake Oswego, Oregon, resident completed 60.1 percent of his 341 pass attempts for 2,565 yards and 17 touchdowns this season. He also accounted for 732 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground, giving him 32 total touchdowns for the season. Junior Moe Neal led the Syracuse ground attack with 827 yards and an average of 5.6 yards per carry, while 6-foot-5-inch, 213-pound senior wide receiver Jamal Custis averaged nearly 18 yards per reception with a teambest six touchdown grabs. Diminutive 5-foot-8, 170-pound Sean Riley caught a team-best 63 passes for 733 yards with three touchdowns, while another scat-back, 5-foot-8, 167-pound Nykeim Johnson, added 39 receptions for 555 yards and four scores. Six-two, 175-pound freshman Taj Harris contributed 36 catches for 510 yards and three scores for Syracuse’s 12th-ranked scoring offense, which averaged 40.8 points per game. West Virginia, meanwhile, sits three spots ahead of the Orange at No. 9 in the country with an average of 42.3 points per game. The 15th-ranked Mountaineers came up three points short of facing Texas in the 2018 Big 12 Championship game when the Sooners pulled out a 59-56 victory in Morgantown on the final weekend of the regular season. With senior quarterback Will Grier electing not to play in the Camping Word Bowl, redshirt sophomore Jack Allison, who transferred from Miami and sat out the 2017 season, looks to be the starter. Allison saw limited

action this fall, appearing in six games and completing six of his 10 pass attempts for 75 yards and a touchdown. Freshman Trey Lowe III could also be an option behind center. In addition to Grier, offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste and wid receiver Gary Jennings Jr. are not playing in the game. Thirteen different Mountaineers caught passes this year with two-time All-American David Sills V, nabbing a team-best 61 for 896 yards and 15 touchdowns. Redshirt junior Marcus Simms added 46 catches for 699 yards and two scores. Tight end Trevon Wesco had a breakout season for WVU with 24 catches for 352 yards to earn All-Big 12 honors, while the ground game was led by junior Kennedy McKoy’s 729 yards and seven scores. Martell Pettaway added 562 yards and six scores on 94 carries and Leddie Brown had 433 yards and four scores on 87 totes. Defensively, West Virginia had the Big 12’s top playmaker in All-American linebacker David Long Jr., who recorded 18 ½ tackles for losses and eight sacks to earn Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors. West Virginia has been nationally ranked the entire season, climbing to as high as No. 6 before losing at Iowa State on Oct. 13. WVU’s other two losses were by four points at Oklahoma State on Nov. 17, and by three to College Football Playoff-bound Oklahoma on the final weekend of the regular season. This will be Holgorsen seventh bowl trip and his second to Orlando in eight seasons at WVU. West Virginia will be making its record fifth appearance in this bowl game, formerly known as the Carquest, Champs Sports and Russell Athletic Bowls and its 37th overall. Syracuse has been bowling 25 times, but just five since 2000.

Holgorsen Totals: At West Virginia - 61-40 (Eight Seasons) Overall - 61-40 (Eight Seasons)

In the national rankings, WVU’s offense was ranked No. 17 in total offense, No. 20 in first down offense, No. 25 in rushing offense, No. 31 in pass efficiency, No. 37 in passing yards per completion and No. 42 in pass offense. Defensively, WVU was No. 24 in turnovers gained and fumbles recovered, No. 35 in passes intercepted and scoring defense and No. 38 in turnover margin. WVU placed 10 players on the Big 12 All-Academic teams and 16 of his 21 seniors will have their degrees when they play in the bowl game. In 2015, Holgorsen guided the Mountaineers to eight wins, the most since becoming a member of the Big 12 Conference, and finished the season with an exciting, 43-42 Cactus Bowl victory over Arizona State in Phoenix. The Cactus Bowl appearance saw the Mountaineers tie or break 19 individual or team, school and Cactus Bowl records and produced 11 NCAA top 10 bowl rankings. Nine players earned All-Big 12 Conference honors, including two being named to All-America teams. There were seven All-Big 12 Academic team selections and 17 players already had their degrees in hand when they played in the bowl game, ranking among the top 10 nationally in number of graduates playing in a bowl game. Holgorsen had a successful first season at WVU in 2011, coaching the Mountaineers to a 10-3 record, the Big East championship and a 70-33 Orange Bowl rout of Clemson. The victory was WVU’s third Bowl Championship Series championship in school history and earned Holgorsen the First-Year Coach of the Year award by the Football Writers Association of America. In 2012, Holgorsen led WVU into its first year of competition in the Big 12 Conference, guiding West Virginia to a 7-6 overall record and an appearance in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Five Mountaineers earned 25 All-America honors and three were drafted in the top three rounds of the NFL draft. Holgorsen is the only WVU coach to have had a first-round NFL draft choice for two consecutive years (2011 and 2012). In 2013, Holgorsen coached the Mountaineers to victory over No. 11 Oklahoma State, marking his fifth win over a Top 25 team at WVU. He also had six players earn All-Big 12 Conference honors, including the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. Holgorsen led the Mountaineers to a Liberty Bowl berth in 2014, his third bowl in four seasons at WVU. West Virginia posted a 7-6 overall record and 5-4 in its third year in the Big 12 Conference and finished in a tie for fourth place in Big 12 action, the highest Big 12 finish by WVU. Holgorsen, a 1993 graduate of Iowa Wesleyan, has a son, Logan, and two daughters, McClayne and Karlyn.

As CEO of West Virginia’s football program, Dana Holgorsen always places an emphasis on player development and the overall student-athlete experience, which has led to success in the Big 12 and on the national level. Holgorsen, who passed the 60-win mark during the 2018 season, is the second-winningest coach in Mountaineer history. This season, his program is led by an outstanding group of upperclassmen, and WVU finished the regular season 8-3 and has been ranked in both polls for the entire season, including several weeks in the top-10. Holgorsen has led the Mountaineer football program since 2011, its last year as a Big East Conference member, and now into the seventh year of Big 12 Conference membership. His program will be making its seventh bowl appearance in eight years, including five straight. West Virginia has been ranked in both major polls at least one week in seven of his eight years. Holgorsen has been the architect of some of the nation’s most prolific offenses during his coaching career. Starting as the offensive coordinator at Texas Tech, then Houston and Oklahoma State, and now as the head coach at West Virginia, his offensive units are known for their ability to move the ball, pile up yardage and score points. During his 14 years overseeing offenses, he has had eight quarterbacks pass for more than 4,000 yards and 10 throw for 30 or more touchdowns, six running backs run for more than 1,000 yards and 20 receivers finished with 1,000 or more yards, including 11 with 90 or more receptions and 16 with double-figure touchdown receptions. He has had numerous players earn all-conference, All-America honors and be drafted by the NFL, including four first-round picks in the past eight years at WVU. Since 2012, he has had the second-most top three round draft picks in the Big 12 (10) and has had the third-most players drafted in the league (20). In 2017, he led the Mountaineers to a 7-6 record and 5-4 in the Big 12 Conference. WVU participated in its fourth-straight bowl game and sixth in the seven years under Holgorsen’s direction. In 2016, the AFCA District 4 Regional Coach of the Year and Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year finalist, led the Mountaineer football program to a 10-3 overall mark and 7-2 record in the Big 12 in 2016. His 2016 team achieved the ninth 10-win season in school history, becoming one of six WVU teams to do it in the regular season. Holgorsen is one of three WVU coaches, along with Don Nehlen and Rich Rodriguez, to post multiple 10-win seasons. The seven Big 12 wins were the most in a season, tying for second place in the standings, WVU’s highest finish. WVU went 4-1 away from home, and Holgorsen had a 12-2 home mark over the past two years.

LAST BOWL GAME PLAYED IN ORLANDO: MIAMI 31, NO. 14/12 WEST VIRGINIA 14 ORLANDO, Fla. (Dec. 28, 2016) - No. 14/12 West Virginia jumped out to a 7-0 first-quarter lead, but could not overcome Miami’s stingy defense and streaky offense in falling to the Hurricanes 31-14 in the Russell Athletic Bowl. Miami’s defense kept the West Virginia running game in check, and made it difficult for quarterback Skyler Howard to get anything going in the passing game. While West Virginia’s defense also started strong, it could not contain the hot passing of Miamiquarterback Brad Kaaya, who got in a rhythm midway through the second quarter to break open a close game. Kaaya ended up completing 24-of-34 passes for 282 yards and four touchdowns. It was his three touchdown passes in a span of 6:30 in the second quarter that turned the game and set the tone for the second half. The game’s scoring started on the West Virginia side of the scoreboard with 5:40 left in the first quarter. Howard engineered a four-play, 39-yard drive that ended with a 6-yard run from tailback Kennedy McKoy for a 7-0 lead. The advantage held for the rest of the quarter as the Mountaineer defense held Miami to just 19 first-quarter yards and only 12 plays. Conversely, West Virginia collected 87 total yards in the first quarter but could not capitalize on any more scoring due in part to a Miami defense that was starting to assert itself. West Virginia’s defense continued to dominate the Hurricanes until the 6:40 mark of the second quarter when Kaaya connected with Ahmmon Richards for a 51-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 7-7. A three-and-out gave the ball back to Miami, and Kaaya started to get into rhythm and led a six-play, 59-yard scoring drive. It was Kaaya’s 3-yard scoring toss to Malcom Lewis that put the Hurricanes up 14-7, and they never looked back. After trailing for most of the first half, Miami took a 21-7 lead into the locker room at halftime. Gifted with another three-and-out by his defense, Kaaya marched the ‘Canes 70 yards in just 0:52 to grab the 14-point advantage. Miami had the first possession of the third quarter, and it was vital that West Virginia come up witha stop on the drive. The Mountaineers seemingly did by intercepting Kaaya, but the pick was nullified by a pass interference call. That was the break the ‘Canes needed, and they finished the eight-play, 75yard drive, and took a 28-7 lead, as Kaaya connected with tight end David Njoku for a 23-yard touchdown pass. West Virginia did answer the score on its first possession of the second half. Howard led a nine-play, 75-yard drive and pulled the Mountaineers to within 14 points at 28-14 when he rushed in from 4 yards out for West Virginia’s second score of the game. Big plays in the drive included completions to receivers Shelton Gibson of 15 yards, Jovon Durante for 13 and Daikiel Shorts Jr. for 26 yards. West Virginia was not able to capitalize on the momentum though, and Miami’s offense went towork again. Kaaya completed four of five passes in leading the Hurricanes on a 47-yard drive that ended with a 30-yard field goal by kicker Michael Badgley with 4:26 left in the third. The field goal put Miami up 31-14 and ended the scoring for both teams. Fourth-quarter action saw Miami use a heavy rushing attack to run time off the clock, while the Hurricane defense continued to keep the Mountaineer offense off the board. West Virginia did manage a lengthy nine-play drive in the fourth quarter, but it ended on downs at midfield. Howard finished with 134 yards passing, 43 rushing and one touchdown in his final game as a starter. During his career, he led West Virginia to a 19-9 record as the starting quarterback. Shorts led the receivers with 61 yards on five catches. The Mountaineer defense was led by linebacker David Long with 11 tackles and one TFL. Fellow linebacker Al-Rasheed Benton added 10 tackles and one TFL to the totals. Aside from Kaaya’s strong night, Miami got 52 yards rushing from running back Mark Walton. Stacy Coley and Njoku grabbed five catches, while Njoku, Braxton Berrios, Richards and Lewis had touchdown catches in the victory. The Hurricane defense was led by Corn Elder with seven stops, while Jamal Carter, RayshawnJenkins and Zach McCloud each finished with six tackles. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 95 yards rushing and 134 passing for 229 yards of offense. Miami’s final numbers came in at 81 yards rushing and 282 passing for 363 yards of total offense. With the loss, the Mountaineers dropped to 0-4in the Russell Athletic Bowl and 15-20 overall in bowl games. West Virginia finished the season at 10-3, while Miami finished at 9-4.

LAST TIME VS. SYRACUSE: SYRACUSE 38, WEST VIRGINIA 14 BRONX, N.Y. (Dec. 29, 2012) - Syracuse 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, were able to take 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 25yard 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 10yard touchdown pass. On the ensuing possession, the Mountaineers used a 59-yard Smith to Stedman Bailey screen pass to get the football to the SU 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.

West Virginia......................................40 Tennessee...............................................................14 No. 17/20

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Sept. 1, 2018) - West Virginia opened the 2018 season in impressive fashion with a 40-14 blowout of Tennessee at Bank of America Stadium. The season-opening game against the SEC foe was the Belk Bowl Kickoff game, and the Mountaineers did not disappoint in front of a CBS national television audience and 66,793 in attendance. Senior quarterback Will Grier not only got his season underway in strong fashion, but his Heisman campaign got the start it needed with five touchdown passes and 429 yards of passing from the Charlotte, North Carolina, native, who took full advantage of playing in his home area. Grier connected with his two favorite targets, David Sills V and Gary Jennings Jr., for 253 of the 429 passing yards as the trio picked right up where it left off in 2017. Coming into the game, much speculation surrounded the West Virginia defense which struggled at times in 2017. However, Tony Gibson’s “Dawgs”, as he calls them, started 2018 with a statement, holding Tennessee scoreless in two of the four quarters along with a goal-line stand in the final quarter. The Mountaineers started the scoring in the first quarter on a 26-yard field goal from Evan Staley. West Virginia increased its lead to 10-0 at the 3:32 mark of the opening quarter, when Grier hit newcomer T.J. Simmons for a 59-yard touchdown catch and run. After the West Virginia defense dominated the first quarter by holding Tennessee to just 27 yards, the Volunteers got their offense going midway through the second quarter. Quarterback Jarrett Guarantano engineered a 17-play, 78-yard drive that consumed 8:47 of the quarter and resulted in a 1-yard scoring toss to Dominick Wood-Anders. The Volunteers had a first-and-goal from the 1-yard line but could not score in three tries against the Mountaineer defense. First-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt decided to go for it on fourth down and his team converted on the 1-yard pass. After being off the field for more than eight minutes, the West Virginia offense got rolling again two possessions later and added a score before halftime. Grier marched his unit 72 yards and Staley added his second field goal, to give WVU a 13-7 lead at the half. During halftime, lightening was seen in the Charlotte area and delayed the start of the second half for more than an hour. When the Mountaineers finally took the opening possession of the third quarter, they took full advantage of it. The Mountaineers felt as if they left a couple of scoring opportunities on the table in the first half. However, they made the most of their chances in the second half. West Virginia used completions of 32 yards to Marcus Simms and a 33-yard Sills V touchdown catch to open up a 20-7 advantage over the Volunteers. West Virginia was far from done and added another touchdown at the 8:08 mark of the third quarter, when Grier completed a 28-yard scoring strike to Jennings for a 27-7 lead. Tennessee answered the 14-point swing with a Tim Jordan 4-yard run to cut its deficit to 27-14, but West Virginia basically controlled the rest of the second half and got stronger as the game went on. The Mountaineers answered the Volunteer score with a 78-yard drive that ended with a 14-yard touchdown catch by running back Kennedy McKoy for a 33-14 advantage going into the fourth. A second Sills V touchdown catch, this one for 10 yards, ended the scoring for the day at 40-14. WVU linebacker David Long Jr. totaled 13 tackles to lead the Mountaineer defense, while Tennessee got 118 yards rushing from Jordan and 10 tackles from Darrin Kirkland.

T.J. SIMMONS

The Mountaineers finished with 118 yards on the ground and 429 passing for 547 yards of offense. The Volunteers came in at 129 yards on the ground and 172 through the air for 301 total yards. The game was the first meeting between the two schools as West Virginia improved to 2-2 in Bank of America Stadium. SCORING AND STATISTICAL SUMMARY West Virginia Tennessee

West Virginia......................................35 Kansas State............................................................6 No. 12/13

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Sept. 22, 2018) - West Virginia won its Big 12 opener in convincing fashion, 35-6, over Kansas State at Milan Puskar Stadium. The Mountaineers used a couple of big plays and a strong defensive outing to defeat the Wildcats for the third straight time. Quarterback Will Grier threw five touchdown passes, including bombs of 82 yards to Marcus Simms and 62 yards to Tevin Bush to spark the offense. Defensively, the Mountaineers did not allow a touchdown in a game for the first time since 2015, as WVU improved to 21-0 under defensive coordinator Tony Gibson when holding an opponent to less than 20 points. The game started off slowly as neither team could get anything going offensively. Kansas State failed to take advantage of two West Virginia turnovers, one interception and one fumble, on its first two possessions. The big play got the scoring started, and it came from Heisman Trophy contender Grier with his 82-yard bomb to Simms, giving West Virginia a lead it would never relinquish. The drive covered 96 yards in just two plays and all yardage was credited to Grier and Simms as the two hooked up for a 14-yard reception on the first play of the drive. The Mountaineers carried their seven-point lead into the second quarter before their defense changed the total complexion of the game. Kansas State faced a fourth-and-inches from its own 43-yard line with 5:02 left in the half. The Wildcats went for it, and the Mountaineer defense responded with a 4-yard tackle for loss. That big defensive play was all that was needed to ignite the offense, which went on to score 14 points in the final five minutes of the half and set the tone for second-half action. After the big stop, West Virginia added a 1-yard touchdown pass from Grier to receiver David Sills V for a 14-0 advantage with 2:26 left. West Virginia’s defense turned in another three-and-out, giving the ball back to its offense with 57 seconds on the clock. That turned out to be plenty of time for Grier and company as five straight pass completions of 12, 8, 11, 17 and 23 yards put the ball on the Kansas State 1-yard line. The sixth consecutive completion was a 1-yard touchdown strike to Sills V as time expired for a 21-0 WVU lead at the half. Third-quarter action saw West Virginia put the game away and eliminate any hopes of a Kansas State comeback. After the Wildcats took the third quarter’s opening possession 70 yards on 11 plays, the Mountaineer defense stiffened, holding the Wildcats to a 25-yard Blake Lynch field goal. The Mountaineers then scored the next 14 points to take a 35-3 advantage into the fourth quarter. Right after the KSU field goal, WVU went back to work on its next possession, as Grier hit Bush for a 62-yard scoring reception. The play marked Bush’s first score of his career. To end the scoring in the third, Grier found his old buddy Sills V once again for their third 1-yard touchdown pass of the game. As West Virginia went mostly to the ground game in the fourth quarter to run clock, Kansas State added a 38-yard field goal by Lynch to end the scoring. To go with his five touchdown passes, Grier completed 25-of-35 passes for 356 yards. Kennedy McKoy led the running game with 73 yards and Simms turned in his second straight 100-yard receiving performance with 136 yards on five catches, while Sills V was the target for 10 Grier completions. Linebacker David Long Jr. recorded eight tackles, three TFL’s and two sacks. Overall, the WVU defense recorded 10 TFL’s and four sacks as its speed advantage was quite noticeable. Kansas State was led by receiver Isaiah Zuber with 133 yards receiving. Da’Quan Patton and Eli Walker combined for 17 stops to pace the Wildcat defense.

TEVIN BUSH Final numbers showed West Virginia with 108 yards rushing and 356 passing for 464 yards of offense. Kansas State was held to just 77 total yards in the first half and finished with 91 yards rushing and 227 passing for 318 yards of offense. The win improved West Virginia to 3-0 on the season and 5-2 all-time in Big 12 home openers.

LUBBOCK, Texas (Sept. 29, 2018) - West Virginia stormed out to a big first-half lead and then let its defense turn in the game’s defining play to defeat No. 25 Texas Tech, 42-34, at Jones AT&T Stadium. Texas Tech came into the game ranked No. 1 in the nation in total offense, averaging more than 623 yards per game. However, the Mountaineer defense held the Red Raiders to just 33 rushing yards and 181 total yards in the first half as the WVU offense took control of the game. WVU built a 21-0 first-quarter lead and never looked back in securing win No. 2 in the Big 12. The first possession resulted in a 7-0 West Virginia lead. Quarterback Will Grier used a 43-yard pass completion to receiver T.J. Simmons to set up a 13-yard scoring strike to Gary Jennings Jr. The drive covered 75 yards in seven plays. On Texas Tech’s first possession, WVU defensive back Kenny Robinson Jr. intercepted Red Raider quarterback Alan Bowman on the drive’s fifth play and returned it 13 yards to the Tech 39-yard line. Six plays later, running back Leddie Brown powered in from the 1-yard line for a 14-0 West Virginia advantage. The Mountaineers used the big play to extend their lead to 21-0 at the 3:03 mark. Grier connected on a 45-yard bomb to receiver Marcus Simms for the touchdown. The two also connected on a 14-yard completion on the play before to total 59 of the drive’s 68 yards. Texas Tech answered with a big play of its own to get on the board with 2:06 left in the first quarter as Bowman connected with Antoine Wesley for a 40-yard touchdown reception, cutting the Red Raider deficit to 21-7. However, the West Virginia offense was in a groove. West Virginia put up 28 points in the quarter thanks to a 38-yard Kennedy McKoy touchdown run with just four ticks left on the clock. Grier used completions to Simms of 8 and 16 yards to set up the McKoy run. The two teams combined for 35 first-quarter points, which made the second quarter seem tame as the Mountaineers outscored the Red Raiders by a 7-3 count. Clayton Hatfield’s 25-yard field goal put the score at 28-10 with 9:38 left in the half. The Texas Tech drive covered 76 yards, and the Red Raiders used up 5:26 off the clock. West Virginia closed the scoring just before halftime, when Jennings Jr. caught his second touchdown pass in the game. His 14-yard reception ended a 72-yard, 4:08 drive and put the Mountaineers clearly in command at 35-10. Texas Tech turned in the only score in the third quarter at the 3:02 mark when backup quarterback Jett Duffey, playing for the injured Bowman, engineered an 11-play, 64-yard drive and sealed it with a 2-yard pass to De’Quan Bowman, putting the score at 35-17 heading to the fourth. The Mountaineer offense, which had operated so smoothly in the first half, had trouble getting in gear in the second half. After going scoreless in the third quarter, WVU’s offensive struggles continued in the fourth, and Texas Tech slowly got back in the game. Duffey put together a 71-yard drive that ended with a 27-yard Hatfield field goal to put the score at 35-20 with 12:31 remaining. The quarterback then led the Red Raider offense on a 61-yard drive that ended with his 3-yard run to pull Tech to within eight at 35-27. Bowman was more of a drop-back passer, where Duffey is a scrambler, and he definitely caused problems for the WVU defense. But it was the Mountaineer defense that came up with the big play of the second half to put the game away. With Tech driving again, West Virginia’s Keith Washington Jr. intercepted Duffy and returned it 51 yards for WVU’s only points in the second half and a 42-27 advantage. Tech added a late score, but it was West Virginia leaving Lubbock with a win for the third straight time. Top WVU numbers showed Grier with 370 yards passing and three scores. Simms had a career-high 138 yards receiving, Jennings Jr. two touchdown catches and linebacker David Long Jr. with 15 tackles and three TFLs. Tech showed Duffey with 258 yards of total offense, Wesley and Ja’Deion High with 100 yards receiving and Dakota Allen with 12 tackles.

KEITH WASHINGTON JR. Final team numbers showed WVU with 119 yards rushing and 370 passing for 489 yards of total offense. Tech finished with 168 yards on the ground and 295 through the air for 463 total yards, which was nearly 200 yards below its average. The win was WVU’s fifth straight in the series against Texas Tech. SCORING AND STATISTICAL SUMMARY West Virginia Texas Tech 1st WVU WVU WVU TTU WVU 2nd TTU WVU 3rd TTU 4th TTU TTU WVU TTU

No. 9/8

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. (Oct. 6, 2018) - No. 9/8 West Virginia used four touchdown passes from quarterback Will Grier to lift the Mountaineers to a 38-22 victory over Kansas on Homecoming weekend in Morgantown. WVU also got a strong defensive performance, holding the Jayhawks to just 80 yards rushing and less than 300 yards of total offense. A crowd of 57,419 formed a sea of gold on Gold Rush day, and the Mountaineers did not disappoint the home fans. A postgame marriage proposal from defensive lineman Reese Donahue to his girlfriend, Sarah Moore, finished off the perfect, warm fall afternoon. West Virginia started the first-quarter scoring at the 9:28 mark, when true freshman Leddie Brown turned in a 15-yard touchdown reception for a 7-0 lead. The game’s first score was set up by the Mountaineer defense, stopping the Jayhawks on fourth down to set up the 35-yard scoring drive. The Mountaineers extended their lead to 14-0 with 5:21 remaining in the quarter, when Brown scored his second touchdown in the game on a 1-yard run. That score capped West Virginia’s longest scoring drive of the game at 80 yards on seven plays. The Jayhawks got on the scoreboard just before the end of the quarter, when quarterback Peyton Bender connected on an 18-yard touchdown strike to Mavin Saunders. That pass ended a 72-yard drive for the visitors. Second-quarter action produced just one score as Grier engineered a seven-play, 75-yard drive in 3:20 that ended with his 14-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jovani Haskins. West Virginia’s 21-7 halftime lead was fueled by 345 yards of total offense compared to 78 yards for Kansas, that included just 12 yards rushing against Tony Gibson’s defense. Both teams scored touchdowns in the third quarter, preserving West Virginia’s 14-point advantage heading into the fourth. For Kansas, the Jayhawks scoring drive consisted of 75 yards on seven plays and ended on Khalil Herbert’s 31-yard run. The Mountaineers answered the score as time expired in the quarter as Grier hit running back Martell Pettaway out of the backfield for a 12-yard scoring pass. The drive consumed the final 4:21 of the third quarter and totaled 77 yards on 11 plays. Taking a 28-14 lead into the fourth, West Virginia put together two scoring drives to put the game out of reach. The first points came with 5:50 left, when kicker Evan Staley kicked a 49-yard field goal. The drive started when the WVU special teams recovered a fumbled punt. The kick was not only a season high for Staley, but a career long and ended a streak of two straight misses for the sophomore. West Virginia finished its scoring with 2:20 left on the clock, when the defense stopped the Jayhawks on downs once again, setting up the offense at the KU 30-yard line. That was all Grier needed to toss touchdown pass number four as he hit receiver David Sills V for a 17-yard completion in the southeast corner of the end zone. Kansas finished the game’s scoring as time was running out, when Bender completed an 18-yard scoring toss to Daylon Charlot. Even though there was no time left on the clock, the Jayhawks still had to finish the extra point and elected to go for two. With the game already in hand for the Mountaineers, KU converted the two-point conversion to put the final score at 38-22. Grier’s final numbers showed 332 yards passing and the four touchdowns. Brown rushed for 107 yards, and Sills V led all receivers with 74 yards. West Virginia’s defense was paced by David Long Jr., who finished with 10 tackles. Bender led the Kansas attack with 191 yards passing and two touchdowns. Pooka Williams led the Jayhawk ground game with 65 yards. Receiver Jeremiah Booker hauled in 63 yards receiving, while Bryce Torrneden added 13 tackles. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 177 yards rushing and 332 passing for 509 yards of total offense. It marked the 37th time under Dana Holgorsen that WVU surpassed 500 yards of total offense.

LEDDIE BROWN Kansas totaled 80 yards rushing and 206 passing for 286 total yards. The win gave West Virginia five straight against the Jayhawks as the Mountaineers improved to 7-1 all-time in the series. The win gave West Virginia a 27-1 record, when Gibson’s defense has held opponents to less than 25 points.

Iowa State..........................................................30 No. 6/6 West Virginia..............................................14

AMES, Iowa (Oct. 13, 2018) - Iowa State broke a four-game losing streak to West Virginia with a 30-14 upset of No. 6/6 Mountaineers in front of 56,629 at Jack Trice Stadium. The Mountaineers had won on three previous trips to Iowa State, but the Cyclones took full advantage of the night time environment in Ames to record the Big 12 upset. West Virginia opened the scoring at the 6:47 mark of the first quarter. The score was setup when defensive back Dravon Askew-Henry grabbed his second interception on the year by picking off Iowa State’s true freshman quarterback, Brock Purdy, at the Iowa State 44-yard line. It took four plays for the Mountaineer offense to make the Cyclones pay for the turnover as quarterback Will Grier connected on a 22-yard touchdown pass to David Sills V for a 7-0 West Virginia advantage. Purdy bounced back from the interception on the next possession as he led ISU on a six-play, 65-yard scoring drive to tie the game. Cyclone running back David Montgomery turned in a 37-yard rush, and Purdy added a 15-yard run of his own to spark the drive that ended with a 4-yard touchdown pass from Purdy to receiver Hakeem Butler. Iowa State took the lead before the end of the quarter with a six-play, 53-yard drive. Once again Montgomery led the way on the ground with a 24-yard run before a 17-yard pass from Purdy to Charlie Kolar set up Montgomery’s 2-yard touchdown scamper. The Cyclones missed the PAT and took a 13-7 advantage into the second quarter, marking the first time West Virginia trailed in a game in 2018. Iowa State padded its lead to 20-7 with 9:14 left in the half on Purdy’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Kolar. The drive covered 59 yards in eight plays and was highlighted by a 33-yard completion from Purdy to Butler. With its offense struggling to get something going, it was the West Virginia special teams that ignited the Mountaineer sideline. Iowa State drove to the WVU 22-yard line and attempted a Connor Assalley field goal that Kenny Bigelow Jr. blocked and Derrek Pitts Jr. returned 72 yards for the touchdown. The Cyclones turned in 250 yards of total offense in the firsthalf compared to WVU’s 112, but the block and return brought the Mountaineers to within one score.20-14, at the half. Neither team scored in the third quarter as ISU missed a 46-yard field goal, and West Virginia was unable to take advantage of its two possessions. The Cyclones kept the Mountaineer offense off the field by controlling the ball nearly five minutes longer. Iowa State got on the board in the fourth quarter to make it a twopossession game again, when Purdy connected with Deshaunte Jones for a 32-yard touchdown pass. Montgomery had a 21-yard rush in the drive that covered 81 yards. The Cyclones made up for the missed extra point with a successful two-point conversion for a 28-14 lead with 12:17 left to play. The Cyclone defense turned in an interception and a safety the rest of the way to stifle the Mountaineer offense and record the upset win. Grier was under heavy pressure all game from the Iowa State pass rush and finished with 100 yards passing and one score. Kennedy McKoy led the WVU rushers with 55 yards, while Gary Jennings Jr. turned in 38 yards receiving. Linebacker Shea Campbell recorded a career-high 12 tackles, while defensive back Josh Norwood added 10. Montgomery finished his impressive night with 189 yards rushing, while Purdy passed for 254 yards and three touchdowns. His favorite target was Butler, who caught a game-high six catches for 107 yards. On defense for ISU, Greg Eisworth and Braxton Lewis turned in eight tackles and one sack each. Final team numbers clearly favored the Cyclones, who finished with 244 yards rushing and 254 passing for 498 yards of total offense. West Virginia rushed for 52 yards and passed for 100 to total 152 yards of total offense.

DERREK PITTS JR. Iowa State controlled the ball to keep the Mountaineer offense off the field. Final time of possession would prove just that as the Cyclones held a 37:21 to 22:39 advantage. The loss was West Virginia’s first of the year and dropped the Mountaineers to 5-1 overall and 3-1 in the Big 12. Iowa State improved to 3-3 overall and 2-2 in the league.

West Virginia......................................58 Baylor........................................................................14 No. 13/12

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Oct. 25, 2018) - Thursday night football is always special in Morgantown, and the 2018 matchup against Baylor proved no different. The No. 13/12 Mountaineers wasted no time in dispatching the visiting Bears by a 58-14 count in front of more than 53,000 fans and an FS1 national audience. The Mountaineers racked up a first-half, school record 435 yards of total offense en route to a 41-0 halftime advantage and a 44-point victory over the Big 12 opponent. It shaped up to be a long night for Baylor from the game’s very first series. West Virginia scored 50 seconds into the contest on the third play, when quarterback Will Grier connected on a 53-yard touchdown pass to receiver Gary Jennings Jr. for a 7-0 WVU lead. Later in the quarter, a Toyous Avery Jr. 32-yard interception return of Baylor quarterback Charlie Brewer set up a 25-yard field goal by Evan Staley, and West Virginia took a 10-0 advantage into the second quarter. The next 15 minutes of action saw West Virginia explode for 31 points to break open the game. Staley added a 47-yard field goal at the 13:21 mark for a 13-0 WVU margin. A six-play, 52-yard drive ended when Grier found David Sills V for a 25yard touchdown reception and a 20-0 Mountaineer margin. The duo of Grier to Sills V hooked up again almost two minutes later, this time for a 65-yard bomb, which upped the Mountaineer advantage to 27-0. Shea Campbell intercepted Brewer to set up the offense at the Baylor 33-yard line before running back Martell Pettaway took it from there with his 33-yard touchdown run for a 34-0 West Virginia advantage, and the rout was on. The Mountaineers were not done in the quarter as on their next possession, Tevin Bush scampered 79 yards to the Baylor 1-yard line, setting up Grier’s 1-yard plunge for a 41-0 lead with 3:09 remaining in the half. Halftime statistics clearly showed the domination by the Mountaineers. West Virginia had 435 yards of offense compared to Baylor’s 87, as the Bears had just 31 passing yards and three interceptions. The third quarter started right where the first half left off, with West Virginia adding to its side of the scoreboard. Baylor’s Chris Platt fumbled the opening kickoff of the quarter, and WVU’s Sean Mahone recovered on the Baylor 27-yard line. Four plays later, Staley added his third field goal in the game, this one from 44-yards away, giving West Virginia a 44-0 advantage. On the visitor’s next possession, Baylor put together a strong offensive drive with a nine-play, 56-yard sequence that ended with a JaMycal Hasty 2-yard run. Not to be outdone, West Virginia answered the Baylor score with a 10-play, 72-yard drive that took 4:12 off the clock and ended with a 1-yard run by tailback Leddie Brown. Big plays in the drive were a Grier 20-yard completion to Trevon Wesco and a 31-yard completion to Alec Sinkfield. Baylor closed the scoring in the third by putting together another impressive drive of 75-yards, ending with a Jalen McClendon 1-yard score. West Virginia closed the scoring with 14:44 left as backup quarterback Jack Allison threw the first touchdown of his career with a 36-yard pass to Jennings Jr., putting the final margin at 58-14. Grier finished with 353 yards passing and four scores. Sills V hauled in two touchdowns, giving him five against Baylor in two games, and 139 yards receiving. Jennings Jr. also recorded 100-yards receiving and two touchdown receptions. Defensive back Kenny Robinson Jr. turned in eight tackles to lead the WVU defense. Filling in for the injured Brewer, McClendon passed for 183 yards and rushed for one score. Linebackers Clay Johnston and Verkedric Vaughns turned in six tackles each for the Bear defense. Final numbers mirrored the first-half statistics and showed West Virginia’s overall dominance on the night. The Mountaineers rushed for 172 yards and passed for 396 to total 568 yards of offense. Baylor finished with 82 yards rushing and 205 passing for 287 total yards.

DAVID SILLS V The Mountaineer defense forced three interceptions and recovered one fumble to win the turnover battle 4-0. With the win, West Virginia improved to 5-2 overall against Baylor and 4-0 in Morgantown.

West Virginia......................................42 Texas...........................................................41

AUSTIN, Texas (Nov. 3, 2018) - In what might be considered one of the best college football games of the season, No. 12/10 West Virginia won a wild one over No. 15/15 Texas in front of 100,703 fans at DKRTexas Memorial Stadium. Back-and-forth scoring and more that 1,000 yards of combined total offense were the story as West Virginia won a key, 42-41, Big 12 battle to stay in contention for the league crown. With Texas up seven points with 2:34 left to play, senior quarterback Will Grier forever enshrined himself into Mountaineer history by leading a 75-yard drive and converting a two-point conversion to give the Mountaineers their fourth win in five tries at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. West Virginia got the wild affair started with a 45-yard Evan Staley field goal on the game’s opening possession. Texas answered quickly and took a 7-3 lead, when quarterback Sam Ehlinger scored from 1 yard out. Grier went to the air on West Virginia’s next possession and moved the Mountaineers 75 yards, highlighted by a 60-yard touchdown strike to receiver David Sills V for a 10-7 lead. After Sills V was flagged for giving the Horns down symbol and starting left tackle Yodny Cajuste was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct, West Virginia was forced to kick off from its own 10-yard line, giving the Longhorns great field position. Texas took advantage and drove 39 yards for the go-ahead score, when Ehlinger connected with Lil’Jordan Humphrey for a 21-yard reception. The Longhorns held the 14-10 advantage into the second quarter until Grier found his favorite target again. Grier’s 18-yard pass to Sills V ended WVU’s second 75-yard scoring drive, and put the Mountaineers in front 17-14. Not to be outdone, Texas answered the score 4:45 later with a 75-yard drive, ending with a Tre Watson 5-yard scoring run. The Longhorns mixed big plays in their running and passing game to move the chains and keep the WVU defense on the field. West Virginia’s third 75-yard scoring drive gave it a 24-21 advantage as running back Martell Pettaway scampered 55 yards for a touchdown with 7:36 left in the half. The Longhorns answered with a nine-play, 75-yard drive that saw Ehlinger connect with Watson for a 32-yard scoring reception. The drive ate 4:56 off the clock, but still left West Virginia with 2:40 before intermission. Trailing 28-24, the Mountaineers marched 48 yards into Staley’s field goal range, and he converted from 44 yards out to cut the deficit to 28-27 at the half. Texas had chances in the third quarter to make it a two-possession game, but the Mountaineer defense came up with two key stops. The Longhorns did manage a 22-yard Cameron Dicker field goal to take a 3127 lead into the fourth. Dicker added his second field goal of the half (38 yards) at the 9:38 mark, which put the Longhorns up 34-27. But West Virginia would not go away, and yet another 75-yard drive resulted in a 34-34 score, when Pettaway rushed in from 13 yards out. Ehlinger led the Longhorns on a 78-yard drive and connected with Devin Duvernay for a 48-yard touchdown reception with 2:34 left in the game. With plenty of time left in the game, the last minute heroics on this day belonged to WVU’s Heisman contender. Grier calmly worked the two-minute drill to perfection, and his beautiful and perfectly placed 33-yard touchdown pass to Gary Jennings Jr. left the stadium in shock. Coach Dana Holgorsen went for the win, and Grier delivered twice on a two-point conversion. The first to Sills V, but Texas had called timeout just before the play. Then, Grier took matters into his own hands and ran it in himself in the left corner for the 42-41 West Virginia victory. Grier finished with 346 passing yards and three touchdowns to go along with his two-point conversion. Pettaway rushed for 121 yards on just nine carries, while Sills V caught 97 receiving yards and two scores. Kenny Robinson Jr. and David Long Jr. combined for 20 tackles. Ehlinger passed for 354 yards and three scores, while Watson finished with 80 yards rushing. Humphrey had 143 yards receiving and Duvernay finished with 100 yards, and Anthony Wheeler led the Longhorn defense with eight tackles. Final numbers in the showdown saw West Virginia with 232 yards rushing and 346 passing to total 578 yards of offense. Texas also finished

WILL GRIER with impressive numbers as the Longhorns totaled 166 yards on the ground and 354 through the air for 520 yards. With the win, West Virginia improved to 7-1 overall and 5-1 in the Big 12, while Texas fell to 6-3 and 4-2 in the league. The win also improved West Virginia’s series record against the Longhorns to 5-3. SCORING AND STATISTICAL SUMMARY West Virginia Texas 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

No. 7/8

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Nov. 10, 2018) - No. 7/8 West Virginia was impressive on both sides of the ball in defeating TCU, 47-10, in front of 60,007 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. The Mountaineers recorded 26 first downs and 535 yards of total offense, while holding TCU to -7 yards rushing and just 222 total yards. Quarterback Will Grier threw for 343 yards, his 17th career 300-yard passing game, which tied a school record with Geno Smith. Head coach Dana Holgorsen passed Rich Rodriguez for second place on WVU’s alltime football wins list. After WVU’s big road win at Texas the week before, many were fearful of a letdown against the Horned Frogs, but the Mountaineers hit on all cylinders. The offense started slow, but the defense kept TCU in check until Grier got things rolling. It was TCU that scored the game’s first points as the Horned Frogs put together a 5:39 drive that resulted in a 30-yard field goal by kicker Jonathan Song. Those three points proved to be the only points scored in the quarter, but West Virginia unleashed a 24-point second quarter to take control of the game by halftime. WVU kicker Evan Staley tied the game at 3-3 with a 47-yard field goal at the 14:49 mark. The Mountaineers took the lead for good with 5:04 left in the half, when Grier led a five-play, 76-yard drive that saw running back Kennedy McKoy rush in from 33 yards out for a 10-3 WVU advantage. The close game turned on the ensuing kickoff, when TCU’s Taye Barber fumbled, and it was recovered by Exree Loe, setting the Mountaineers up at the TCU 17-yard line. Five plays later, running back Martell Pettaway rushed in from 1-yard out for a 17-3 Mountaineer lead. West Virginia got one more possession before halftime and made the most of a 64-yard drive took Grier only four plays to produce a 32-yard touchdown pass to tight end Trevon Wesco, giving the Mountaineers a 24-3 lead. As good as the West Virginia defense was playing, one couldn’t help but think the 21-point margin was too much for TCU to overcome. Coming into the game, Holgorsen’s Mountaineers had won 20 straight times when leading at the half, and the number was about to reach 21. It also didn’t hurt that Tony Gibson’s West Virginia defense was asserting itself, holding the Horned Frogs to just 13 rushing yards and 114 total yards after two quarters. The Mountaineers outscored the Horned Frogs 16-7 in the third quarter to strengthen their hold on the game. And, it was the defense that got things started on the opening drive by recording a sack of TCU quarterback Mike Collins in the end zone for a safety and a 26-3 lead for the home team. West Virginia’s first offensive drive of the third quarter covered 60 yards in four plays, highlighted by a 53-yard completion from Grier to receiver Marcus Simms. McKoy’s 1-yard plunge opened up a 33-3 advantage for WVU. TCU got on the board for the final time with 9:44 left in the third by taking advantage of a fumbled punt by WVU’s Keith Washington Jr., setting up the Horned Frog offense at the WVU 43-yard line. A 28yard touchdown pass from Collins to receiver Jalen Reagor made the Mountaineers pay for the turnover, cutting the TCU deficit to 33-10. The Mountaineers closed the scoring in the third, putting together their longest drive of the game. It took 11 plays for WVU to go 59 yards in 3:40 as Grier connected with receiver Gary Jennings Jr. for an 8-yard touchdown reception. Trying to run out the clock in the fourth quarter, West Virginia closed the game’s scoring at the 10:51 mark, when Grier tossed his third touchdown pass on the day with a 4-yard completion to his favorite target, David Sills V. The drive was WVU’s second longest of the day at 10 plays in 4:09. Grier finished with 343 yards on 25 completions, and Pettaway led all rushers in 59 yards. Sills V caught six passes for 71 yards, and Wesco led the Mountaineers in yardage with five catches for 86 yards. Josh Norwood led the defense from his secondary position with eight tackles. Long Jr. finished with six tackles, including three sacks and four tackles for loss. The offensive bright spot for TCU came from Reagor with 11 catches for 150 yards and one TD. Collins had 229 passing yards on 22 completions, while Garret Wallow and Arico Evans had 11 tackles each. Breaking down the final numbers showed West Virginia with 164 yards rushing and 371 passing for 535 yards of total offense. TCU had -7 on the ground and 229 through the air for a total of 222., marking the first time West Virginia has held an opponent to minus rushing yards since 2010, when Maryland totaled -10 yards on the ground.

TREVON WESCO The Horned Frogs finished with 12 first downs, punted nine times and ran 61 plays compared to West Virginia’s 81. Under Holgorsen, WVU improved to 34-4 when scoring 40 or more points, and the Mountaineers under Gibson on the defensive side of the ball improved to 23-0 when holding an opponent to 20 points or less. The Mountaineer win evened the series against TCU at 4-4 and 2-2 in Morgantown. The Horned Frogs hold a 4-3 advantage over West Virginia in Big 12 play.

Oklahoma State...............................................45 No. 7/7 West Virginia..............................................41

STILLWATER, Okla. (Nov. 17, 2018) - A Big 12 shootout awaited No. 7/7 West Virginia in Stillwater, and Oklahoma State used a second-half comeback to defeat the Mountaineers, 45-41, at Boone Pickens Stadium. Everyone knew going into the game that a lot of points were going to be scored. West Virginia built a 31-14 lead at the half, only to see the Cowboys outscore the Mountaineers, 31-10, in the second half to claim the victory. The teams combined for 180 offensive plays and 1,157 yards as the expected shootout lived up to its pregame hype. West Virginia, as it has done so many times took the game’s opening kickoff and scored first by marching 75 yards in 10 plays. Running back Kennedy McKoy accounted for 55 of the 75 yards in the drive and scored on a 5-yard run. Oklahoma State tied the game at the 4:14 mark of the first quarter, when quarterback Taylor Cornelius connected with Tylan Wallace for a 7-yard touchdown reception. The Mountaineers regained the lead just 1:13 later, when quarterback Will Grier found receiver Gary Jennings Jr. for a 13-yard scoring toss. The big play in the drive was a 34yard completion from Grier to running back Martell Pettaway. West Virginia carried the 14-7 advantage into the second quarter and outscored the Cowboys, 17-7, to take the lead at the half. WVU linebacker David Long Jr.’s fumble recovery turned into seven points when Grier hit David Sills V for a 22-yard touchdown pass, to put WVU up, 21-7. Oklahoma State scored its only points in the quarter on the next drive, when Cornelius connected with Logan Carter for a 20-yard scoring play, cutting the deficit to 21-14. The next six possessions saw the two teams go scoreless until the 1:17 mark of the second quarter, when West Virginia got a 30-yard touchdown run from McKoy for a 28-14 lead. The impressive part was that McKoy accounted for all 51 yards in the scoring drive on just three rushes. The Mountaineer defense came up big to close the half, when Keith Washington Jr. intercepted Cornelius with 41 seconds left. Grier turned in completions to Jennings Jr. and Marcus Simms, while McKoy broke loose again for 11 yards to set up Evan Staley’s 43-yard field goal and a 31-14 West Virginia lead at the break. The Cowboys wasted little time in getting the second half started on a positive note, taking the opening possession 69 yards in eight plays for a score. The big play in the drive was a 23-yard completion to receiver Dillon Stoner, setting up Chuba Hubbard’s 1-yard run. With West Virginia driving to the Oklahoma State 9-yard line, Grier fumbled to spark a 14-play, 80-yard drive by the Cowboys, who closed to 31-24 on kicker Matt Ammendola’s 20-yard field goal. With the momentum shifting to OSU’s side, the West Virginia special teams came up with a big play by forcing a Stoner fumble on a punt return. The Mountaineers converted the miscue into three points at the start of the fourth quarter as Staley was good from 34 yards out. The field goal put the Mountaineers up, 34-24, and seemed to thwart the Cowboy momentum, but more fireworks were in store for the game’s final 14 minutes. OSU cut into the deficit with 10:49 remaining, when Cornelius connected with Tyron Johnson for a 6-yard score. The same duo hooked up for a 38-yard completion on third-and-20 to keep the drive alive. West Virginia seemed to survive the threat with a 10-play, 83-yard drive that saw Grier hit tight end Trevon Wesco for 43 yards before rushing in himself from 6 yards away on fourth down for a 41-31 lead with 7:37 left. It took the Cowboys 2:50 to complete a 10-play, 78-yard drive, making it 41-38 with 4:47 left. Cornelius finished the drive with a 9-yard run. Forcing a WVU punt, Oklahoma State got the ball back at the 2:38 mark and took its only lead in the game with 42 seconds left as Cornelius found Wallace for an 11-yard touchdown pass. Grier marched the Mountaineers 61 yards in 41 seconds and had one final play with a tick left on the clock. However, Oklahoma State’s A.J. Green batted away Grier’s pass to Sills V in the end zone to preserve the Cowboy comeback. Grier passed for 364 yards and two scores and rushed for another. McKoy finished with 148 yards on the ground, and Jennings Jr. topped the WVU receivers with 92 yards. Kenny Robinson Jr. collected nine tackles. Oklahoma State got 338 passing yards from Cornelius and five touchdowns. Stoner was his favorite target with nine catches for 127 yards. Cornelius also rushed for 106 and a score, while Hubbard added 134 yards on the ground. Jordan Brailford had 10 tackles. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 189 yards rushing and 364 passing for 553 yards of total offense. Oklahoma State came in with 266 yards on the ground and 338 through the air for 604 total yards.

KENNEDY MCKOY The win gave the Cowboys their sixth victory of the year, making them bowl eligible, while West Virginia fell to 8-2 overall and 6-2 in the Big 12.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Nov. 23, 2018) - Two great offenses reigned supreme but in the end, two big plays by the Oklahoma defense led the No. 6/6 Sooners to a 59-56 victory over No. 12/12 West Virginia. In front of an ESPN Friday night national audience on Thanksgiving weekend, a berth in the Big 12 championship game was at stake. The two teams combined for 1,372 yards of offense to produce one of the best college football games of the season for 60,713 at Milan Puskar Stadium. As it so often does, West Virginia wasted little time in lighting up the scoreboard by scoring on the game’s opening drive. A Will Grier 41-yard touchdown pass to his favorite receiver, David Sills V, got the scoring started in the wild Big 12 contest. Oklahoma wasted little time in tying the game at 7-7, as quarterback Kyler Murray raced 55 yards for the score. The 81-yard drive came just 2:44 after West Virginia found the end zone. Two more scores highlighted the opening quarter as both teams scored 14 points to take a 14-14 game into the second quarter. For West Virginia, running back Martell Pettaway scored on a 7-yard run to end a 75-yard drive. Oklahoma’s Marquise Brown scored on a 25-yard pass from Murray to end a 72-yard Sooner drive and closed the explosive first quarter. In reality, the fans and television audience hadn’t seen anything yet from these two teams. Oklahoma outscored the Mountaineers 21-14 in the second quarter to take a 35-28 advantage into the half. The Sooners grabbed their first lead in the game with 7:12 left in the half, when Trey Sermon rushed in from 1 yard out. Grier then took the Mountaineers 75 yards and found Sills V again, this time for a 10-yard score to tie the game at 21-21. Just 44 seconds later, Oklahoma used a 68-yard run by running back Kennedy Brooks to open up a 21-14 lead. The Sooner defense then forced a Grier fumble on West Virginia’s next possession, and Caleb Kelly returned the fumble 10 yards for the Oklahoma touchdown and a 35-21 lead. A key stretch in the game occurred in the final 3:06 of the half as West Virginia suddenly trailed by 14, but would not go away. The Mountaineers went 81 yards in 2:42 and saw running back Kennedy McKoy pull the Gold and Blue to 35-28, on his 1-yard run. The West Virginia touchdown was big seeing that Oklahoma got the ball to start the third quarter. WVU’s Kenny Robinson Jr’s interception of Murray on OU’s first drive of the third quarter stopped a scoring threat and gave the Mountaineer offense a chance to tie the game. That’s exactly what the Mountaineers did at the 10:32 mark, when Grier connected on a 57-yard bomb to receiver Gary Jennings Jr. to tie the game at 35-35. In what could have blown the game open early in the third, instead WVU erased a 14-point deficit to ignite the Mountaineer faithful. A 37-yard Austin Seibert field goal gave Oklahoma the lead back, but Grier took it back with his 1-yard dive to end a 75-yard drive. Trailing 42-38 with 1:52 left in the third, Murray connected with Brown for a 45-yard touchdown reception just 1:17 later to edge OU back in front 45-42. Grier closed the third quarter with a three-play drive that saw him connect with Jennings Jr. for a 75-yard touchdown strike 18 seconds later. The Grier to Jennings Jr. combo gave the Mountaineers a 49-45 advantage heading into the fourth quarter. Oklahoma regained the lead for good with 11:19 left, when its 80-yard drive ended with a Murray touchdown pass to Grant Calcaterra on fourthand-goal from the WVU 2-yard line. With 9:58 left to play, the Sooners seemed to take a commanding lead again, when linebacker Curtis Bolton picked up a Grier fumble and raced 48 yards for a 59-49 lead. Already erasing a 14-point deficit, WVU set out to carve into OU’s 10-point advantage and did so with 4:20 left on Pettaway’s 17-yard run to cap an 80-yard drive. However, OU never gave the ball back to the Mountaineer offense and converted a key fourth-and-5 with 2:36 remaining to seal the road victory. Grier passed for 539 yards and four touchdowns to go along with his one rushing score in his final home appearance. Sills V finished with 131 yards and two scores, while Jennings Jr. racked up big yardage on his seven catches, ending with 225 yards and two touchdowns. McKoy and Pettaway combined for 157 yards rushing and three scores. Dravon Askew-Henry turned in eight tackles as he finished his regular season career starting every game. For Oklahoma, Murray passed for 364 yards and rushed for 114 to account for four scores. Brooks added 182 yards rushing and Brown topped all receivers with 11 catches for 243 yards and two scores. Kelly led the Sooner defense with 14 tackles and one sack. Final numbers showed West Virginia with 165 yards rushing and 539 passing to total 704 yards of total offense. WVU ran 90 plays, averaged 7.3 yards per play and gained 33 first downs.

GARY JENNINGS JR. Oklahoma rushed for 304 yards, passed for 364 and totaled 668 yards of offense. The Sooners ran only 65 plays, but they were good for 10.3 yards per play, while gaining 25 first downs. With the win, Oklahoma moved on to the Big 12 championship game against Texas, while West Virginia finished the regular season at 8-3 overall and 6-3 in the Big 12.
