CHARACTER Public, land-grant institution, founded in 1867. RESEARCH CLASSIFICATION R1: Doctoral Universities–Highest Research Activity, as described by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. ACCREDITATION WVU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Many programs hold specialized accreditation. GOVERNANCE The WVU Board of Governors is the University’s governing body. The Higher Education Policy Commission in West Virginia is responsible for developing, establishing and overseeing the implementation of a public policy agenda for the state’s four-year colleges and universities. E. Gordon Gee is WVU’s 24th president. CAMPUS LOCATIONS AND FACILITIES The WVU System is a family of distinctive campuses united by a single mission. From the groundbreaking research of our flagship in Morgantown (ranked R1, the highest research category institution) to the student-centered focus of WVU Potomac State College in Keyser to the technology-intensive programs at WVU Institute of Technology in Beckley — we are leveraging our talents and resources to create a better future for West Virginia and the world. The WVU Institute of Technology in Beckley offers more than 35 majors, including one of the top 100 undergraduate engineering programs in the country, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report. WVU Potomac State College in Keyser has one of the lowest tuition rates of all the nation’s fouryear institutions. Offering more than 60 majors, this campus combines the personal attention of a small college with the benefits of a major university. The WVU System also includes the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center in Charleston and Martinsburg, as well as 10 experimental farms and four forests throughout the state and WVU Jackson’s Mill State 4-H Camp. The WVU System includes 518 buildings on 15,880 acres. The Morgantown campus has 245 buildings (11 on the National Register of Historic Places) on 1,892 acres. The WVU Morgantown campus is located in a town named “No. 1 Small City in America” by BizJournals.com for its exceptional quality of life. Morgantown, population 30,855, was also rated the ninth best college town in America by Business Insider and is within easy traveling distance of Washington, D.C., to the east, Pittsburgh, Pa., to the north, and Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, to the northwest. Other rankings: Kiplinger.com included Morgantown in their 10 great places to live list; one of “Best Sports Cities” by Sporting News; 5th “Best Small Metro” by Forbes; 12th overall “Hottest Small City” by Inc.; one of “50 Smartest Places to Live” by Kiplinger’s; and the second-ranking “Best College Town for Jobs” by Forbes.
STUDENT PROFILE Fall 2018 WVU System enrollment was 29,959: Potomac State College - 1,340 WVU Tech - 1,755 Morgantown campus - 26,864 Students at the Morgantown campus come from 118 nations, all 50 U.S. states (plus D.C.) and all 55 West Virginia counties; nearly half are West Virginia residents.

FACULTY AND STAFF PROFILE Seventy-six percent of full-time instructional faculty hold the highest academic degree in their field, and 64 percent of all WVU classes and 67 percent of all WVU non-laboratory classes are taught by full-time instructional faculty.

Brown’s program philosophy translates to wins on the field, in the classroom, in the community and on the recruiting path. His goal is to develop the total person, on and off the field.

appeared in three bowl games during Brown’s initial tenure. He began his coaching career with one-year stints at UMass (2003), Sacred Heart (2004) and Delaware (2005). At Delaware, Brown served as wide receivers coach, starting three freshman wideouts as the Blue Hens posted a 6-5 record. In 2004, Brown coached the quarterbacks and wide receivers at Sacred Heart, boasting the top-ranked scoring offense in the conference. In 2003, he was the tight ends coach and offensive line assistant at Massachusetts, helping the Minutemen win a share of the Atlantic-10 championship and a berth in the FCS playoffs. Brown was a wide receiver at Kentucky for three years (1998-2000) before finishing his career at UMass in 2001-02. He was a member of two bowl teams with the Wildcats and was named to the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll. While at UMass, he was an Atlantic 10 All-Academic honoree and an NCAA Division I-AA Athletic Directors’ Academic All-Star team selection. Brown graduated from UMass with a bachelor’s degree in business management in 2002 and earned his master’s degree in business administration in 2005. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Brown grew up in Bardstown, Kentucky, before moving to Danville, Kentucky, where he was an all-state wide receiver at Boyle County High School, finishing his career as the No. 2 receiver in state history. Brown, and his wife, Brooke, have two daughters, Adalyn and Anslee, and a son, Dax.
W H AT T HEY ’R E S AY IN G A B OUT
NEAL Brown “It comes as no surprise, the success Neal has had – and will continue to have – at West Virginia. Neal is a creative and wellrounded head coach.”
“Excited about the hire of Neal Brown. He’s a young, energetic, and dynamic playcaller that can continue to lead West Virginia’s football program in the right direction.”
Mark Stoops / Kentucky Head Coach
Anthony Becht / ESPN College Football Analyst West Virginia Tight End (1996-99) – First Round NFL Draft Pick
“Neal is a bright young mind who has accomplished some great things so far in his career. I look forward to watching him build on that success at West Virginia and I wish him all the best.” Mike Leach / Washington State Head Coach
“He beat LSU. He beat Nebraska. He could’ve beaten Clemson. All at little ol’ Troy. Wait and see what Neal Brown does when he gets his players at WVU. The best hire of 2019.” Matt Hayes / Bleacher Report
“Neal Brown is the best coach in the country no one knows. He did a phenomenal job at Troy with exclamation point victories at LSU and Nebraska! In the last three years, Troy was one of six programs to notch double digit victories in each. The others were Alabama, Clemson, Ohio St, Oklahoma and Washington. The coaches at each of those schools are sure shots for the Hall of Fame! West Virginia got themselves a great one!” Rick Neuheisel / CBS College Football Analyst
“An Absolute home run for West Virginia. Neal Brown is one of six coaches who have 10 or more wins in each of the last three seasons (Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney, Urban Meyer, Chris Petersen, Bryan Harsin).” Barrett Sallee / CBS Sports
“West Virginia, despite being last to come open, may have won this coaching carousel.”
“I think West Virginia hit an absolute home run in Neal Brown. He’s a disciple of Hal Mumme’s and Mike Leach’s Air Raid offenses, and his style of offense is tailor made for the Big 12. He’s one of the youngest coaches in the FBS and is only going to get better with experience.” Mark Schlabach / ESPN.com “Neal Brown checks all the boxes for the Mountaineers. Young (38) and energetic. Quality head coaching experience, with restoring Troy’s status as a mid-major power (wins over LSU and Nebraska, and a 30-24 loss at eventual 2016 national champion Clemson). Geography (grew up in Danville, Kentucky, less than 150 miles from West Virginia). Played for Hal Mumme and Mike Leach at Kentucky and thus keeps the Air Raid tradition going strong in Morgantown.” Berry Tramel / Oklahoma City Oklahoman
Stewart Mandel / The Athletic
“Neal Brown was one of the best hires, if not the best, of this cycle. Look at the track record of success at Troy. Double-digit wins and bowl victories. He should be able to enhance that recruiting at West Virginia, and the wins will follow.”
“There’s no sure thing in coaching hires, but Neal Brown comes as close as there is. I thought Texas Tech would take a hard look at him, and West Virginia pulled the trigger on a young, up-and-coming coach who has owned the Sun Belt recently. Any coach who can win at LSU and at Nebraska and play a physical brand of football with a strong offense -- always necessary in this

league -- will get the attention of recruits and opposing coaches in the Big 12. This is a good fit. I’ll be stunned if he doesn’t have success in Morgantown.” Kirk Bohls / Austin American Statesman
“Neal Brown has a tremendous reputation in administrative and coaching circles. And West Virginia was one of the winners of this coaching carousel.” Jake Trotter / ESPN.com
“Great hire! Neal has done one of the best jobs in the country at Troy by building that program into a consistent winner. He has proven that he can lead a team to victories in tough location while being overmatched and he is a perfect fit for WVU. I expect him to have success as a Mountaineer.” Joel Klatt / FOX College Football
“It has been a mystery among those of us who cover the sport why Brown remained a hidden gem. He is hidden no longer. He took over a good program at Troy that had slipped and needed two years to take it to heights it had never reached. That must be encouraging to West Virginia fans, Brown is taking over a good program that hasn’t slipped. WVU becomes one of the most interesting stories of 2019.” Ivan Maisel / ESPN.com
“Neal Brown is one of the brightest people in coaching. What he did at Troy was so impressive. He comes from the Air Raid tree but beat LSU at Tiger Stadium by running the ball and being the more physical team. People who have worked with him rave about Brown’s ability to constantly develop players but also staff.” Bruce Feldman / The Athletic Senior College Football Writer

He also accomplished something no other Tiger defensive coordinator had achieved in the school’s history as each of his four defenses finished in the top 25 in scoring, total defense and pass efficiency defense. In his previous stay at Troy, Koenning oversaw a Trojan defense that finished the 2004 season ranked No. 6 nationally in pass efficiency (100.6), No. 8 in rushing (100.9), No. 10 in scoring (16.7) and No. 16 in total defense (311.0). He was the head coach at Wyoming from 2000-02 after three years as the defensive coordinator with the Cowboys. In 1997, Wyoming led the nation in interceptions and was second in sacks. Koenning served as a full-time assistant coach working with the defensive backs at Memphis from 1991-96. His final year at Memphis was highlighted by a 21-17 upset of No. 6 Tennessee. A three-year starter, team captain and 1983 graduate at Kansas State, he was the recipient of the Paul Coffman Award, presented to the Wildcat who displays the most outstanding leadership. A native of Owasso, Oklahoma, Koenning and his wife, Tracey, have four children, Kimberly, Brady, Camden and Jackson.
Vic Koenning joined the Mountaineer football coaching staff as the defensive coordinator in January 2019. Koenning came with Brown to West Virginia after serving as his defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Troy from 2015-18. During that time, Troy’s defense allowed 20.8 points per game, ranking No. 4 nationally among non-power 5 schools. In the last four years, the Trojans were No. 2 nationally among FBS schools in takeaways (106). Additionally, Troy became just the sixth team in the previous eight seasons to not allow a play of 50 or more yards over the course of a season. The Trojans established a new school record as they held eight opponents under the 100-yard rushing mark. Troy finished the season having allowed just 18.5 points, 105.3 rushing yards and 336.5 total yards per game. Prior to his most recent stay at Troy, Koenning spent time at North Carolina (DC/2012-14), Illinois (DC/2010-11), Kansas State (Co-DC/2009), Clemson (DC/2005-08), Troy (DC/2003-04), Wyoming (Head Coach/2000-02, DC/199799) and Memphis (DB/1991-96, GA/1986-90). As North Carolina’s defensive coordinator, Koenning directed the safeties and inside linebackers during his tenure in Chapel Hill Under Ron Zook at Illinois, the Illini defense improved from No. 91 in the country to No. 7 in his two seasons. Koenning led Illinois to a 2011 win over UCLA in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl as the team’s interim head coach. At Kansas State under Bill Snyder, the Wildcats improved from No. 112 in the NCAA in rushing defense in 2008 to No. 16 in 2009, total defense from No. 117 to No. 40 and scoring defense from No. 110 to No. 48.

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.

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-andinches 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 threeand-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. 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 TFL’s. Top Tech numbers showed Duffey with 258 yards of total offense, Wesley and Ja’Deion High with 100 yards receiving and Dakota Allen with 12 tackles. 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.

38 22 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 72yard drive for the visitors. Second-quarter action produced just one score as Grier engineered a sevenplay, 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. 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.

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, 53yard 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 19yard 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 first-half 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 two-possession 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. 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. The Mountaineers are now 5-2 all-time in the series against Iowa State.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Oct. 25, 2017) - 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 firsthalf, 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 25yard 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 25-yard 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 33yard 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.

Game 8
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 DKR-Texas 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 10yard 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, 75yard 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 31-27 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 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.

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 all-time 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 28-yard 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 touchdown. Collins had 229 passing yards on 22 completions, while Garret Wallow and Arico Evans turned in 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. 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.

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 34-yard 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 30yard 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 defensive back 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 43yard 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. Oklahoma State 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 advantage with 7:37 left. It took the Cowboys 2:50 to complete a 10-play, 78yard drive, making the score 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.

Game 11
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 in front of 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 75yard 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 West Virginia 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 fourth-and-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. 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 WVU finished the regular season at 8-3 overall and 6-3 in the Big 12.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Dec. 28, 2018) – Number 15/16 West Virginia took a lead into the fourth quarter, but could not hold on, losing a 34-18 decision to No. 17/17 Syracuse in the Camping World Bowl. Playing without starters quarterback Will Grier, offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste and receiver Gary Jennings Jr., who all elected to sit out the bowl game, the undermanned Mountaineers made a game of it for three quarters, before a key turnover turned the tide. Three quarters of action proved to be an entertaining, back-and-forth affair as each team made big plays on offense and defense. West Virginia scored first at the 6:42 mark of the first quarter, when kicker Evan Staley converted on a 28-yard field goal. A Tevin Bush 20-yard rush and a Jack Allison pass completion of 17 yards to receiver T.J. Simmons were the big plays in the 10-play drive. On its next possession, Syracuse marched 91 yards in 10 plays to take a 7-3 lead, when Abdul Adams rushed in from 4 yards away. West Virginia regained the lead at the 13:52 mark of the second quarter on running back Kennedy McKoy’s 3-yard dash into the end zone. The score was set up by a Kenny Robinson Jr. interception of Orange quarterback Eric Dungey to close the first quarter. With McKoy’s score, WVU took a 9-7 advantage after Staley missed his first PAT of the season. Three possessions later, the Orange regained the lead on Adams’ second touchdown run in the game, ending a 62-yard drive. The Mountaineers got on the board once more before the intermission with 6:33 left in the half. Running back Martell Pettaway’s 51yard run set up Staley’s second field goal, and the 36-yarder put the halftime score at 14-12 in favor of Syracuse. Third quarter action saw the Mountaineers regain the lead on the opening drive. West Virginia marched 48 yards in nine plays and took a 15-14 advantage on Staley’s 44-yard field goal. An Allison 34-yard pass to Bush keyed the drive, putting WVU in field goal range. But Syracuse answered on its first possession of the half as the back-and-forth scoring continued. The Orange put together a 10-play, 57-yard drive and gained a 17-15 lead on Lou Groza Award winner Andre Szmyt’s 39-yard field goal.

West Virginia answered the Orange’s score with 3:23 left in the third quarter, but unfortunately for the Mountaineers, it would be their final points in the game. WVU was able to take the lead heading into the fourth by driving 55 yards in 10 plays, ending in Staley’s fourth field goal of the game. This one tied a season and career high of 49 yards, and it gave the Mountaineers a 18-17 edge heading to the fourth. Staley set Camping World Bowl records for most field goals in a game (4) and longest field goal (49). The 49-yarder also tied a WVU bowl record for longest field goal. The Orange took control of the game for good with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a Dungey 14-yard scoring toss to Trishton Jackson. On West Virginia’s first play of the ensuing drive, Allison was intercepted, which set up Dungey’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Jackson. West Virginia never recovered from the turnover. In a matter of four minutes, the game went from a one-point WVU lead to a nine-point deficit at 27-18. After a WVU punt, Syracuse finished off the scoring with 9:59 remaining on Jarveon Howard’s 4-yard run. A Dungey 42-yard completion to Moe Neal set up the game’s final points. West Virginia did manage some big plays in its final two drives but could not find the end zone. Allison connected with All-American receiver David Sills V for a 48-yard completion, running back Leddie Brown turned in a 28-yard run before McKoy broke through with a 24-yard scamper. However, the Orange defense held the Mountaineers scoreless and finished off the 16-point victory. In his first start, Allison had solid numbers, finishing with 277 yards passing on 17 completions. McKoy led the WVU ground game with 73 yards, while Sills V caught four passes for 90 yards in his final game as a Mountaineer. Linebacker David Long Jr., also playing in his final game, led the defensive unit with 11 stops. Dungey took home game MVP honors with 303 yards passing. Neal led a quiet Syracuse ground game with 42 yards, while Jamal Custis totaled five catches for 80 yards. The Orange defense was led by Andre Cisco with seven tackles. Final numbers showed an even game. West Virginia finished with 146 yards rushing and 277 passing for 423 total yards. Syracuse had 115 yards rushing and 303 passing to total 418 yards of offense. Less than a minute separated the two teams in time of possession. The win finished the Orange’s season at 10-3, while the loss dropped West Virginia to 8-4 overall. With the last two victories coming in bowl games, the Orange have now won four straight against the Mountaineers and lead the overall series between the two long-time rivals, 34-27 The 2018 Camping World Bowl also marked the final game of the Dana Holgorsen era at West Virginia. In the days after the game, Holgorsen left to become the head coach at Houston and finished his WVU coaching career with a 61-41 record in eight seasons and a 2-5 bowl mark.

SHANE LYONS
In his fifth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons’ vison for the athletic program is crystal clear and working. It’s a vision that focuses on the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and the day-to-day needs that will help them succeed in the classroom and in competition. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has energized an entire department, which has led to great success on and off the field. Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the student-athletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his student-athletes, coaches and staff. He devotes endless energy to his Climbing Higher facilities master plan that will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. Lyons’ Climbing Higher facilities master plan isn’t about keeping up with the Joneses, it’s about taking what his department has, improving it and making it complete for the student-athlete. It’s an aggressive $100 million fundraising campaign centered on one of his core values, which is enhancing the student-athlete experience. From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for future success, building winning programs and growing WVU’s strong reputation across the country. He is about results, and he has already left a great deal of accomplishments in his rear-view mirror. In 2019, West Virginia recorded its highest APR score ever at 985 and again finished higher than the national average. The overall athletics department GPA was its highest at 3.26 with 13 teams over a 3.0 GPA for the year. Lyons commissioned and announced an Economic Impact study that showed Mountaineer Athletics produced more than $300 million to the state’s economy and more than $78 million to the local economy. And with the local economy in mind, Lyons’s department will assist with the formal opening of a new $45 million aquatic and track facility that will not only benefit WVU’s swimming and diving program, but also local high schools and the entire community. Among the Mountaineer highlights in the 2019 campaign were 43 AllAmericans, 81 All-Conference performers, three conference championships, 159 Academic All-Conference selections, seven teams to the NCAA postseason, a fourth-place finish for the Heisman Trophy and 22 professional draft picks among all sports. In addition, Lyons’ department hosted for the first time in history both the NCAA Rifle Championships and the Big 12 golf championship as well as the NCAA baseball regionals for the first time since 1955. In total, WVU athletics hosted more than 160 events during the 2018-19 season. Overseeing 18 varsity sports, a self-sustaining department budget of more than $93 million and 250 employees, under Lyons’ leadership, WVU athletics has implemented a Clinical and Sport Psychology unit with a full-time director and professional interns, added specialized learning assistants to the Student-Athlete Development unit and entered into a partnership with WVU Medicine’s Neuroscience Department to assist in the training and recovery of student-athletes, all emphasizing his overall commitment to the well-being and performance of Mountaineer student-athletes. Additionally, 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. 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. 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 and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events.

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 rules and interpretations for the 25 membership service representatives and was the staff liaison to various NCAA standing committees. 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. Lyons, the University’s 12th athletic director, and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke. Cameron is a member of the football team at Akron and Brooke attends Morgantown High School.
