WVU: 2-0
Second-half effort helps WVU pull away from state rival
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — It took nearly a century for West Virginia to return to Marshall and the Mountaineers’ high-powered offense showed up late.
No matter, Pat White and Steve Slaton only needed one good half to run away from Marshall.
White, Slaton and newcomer Noel Devine kicked it into gear after intermission, leading West Virginia to six second-half touchdowns in a 48-23 victory over Marshall on Saturday.
Held to three first downs and 118 total yards in the opening half, heavy favorite West Virginia (2-0) scored on its first three possessions of the third quarter and handed Marshall its worst home loss since Joan C. Edwards Stadium opened in 1991.
In other news, Michigan loses to Oregon 39 to 7. Let me say that again: thirty nine to seven.
Might want to just rub it in a bit with SD at work… ok, maybe A LOT!
