In a thrilling back-and-forth shootout of a game, No. 13 West Virginia took down the No. 17 Texas Longhorns after Will Grier ran in for a go-ahead two-point conversation to put the Mountaineers up 42-41 with just 16 seconds to play.
As tough of a loss as this one was, there were some positive takeaways regarding the freshman. Especially the freshman cornerback Anthony Cook. Against a versatile receiving corp, Cook played very well matched up one-on-one with them.
Herman plugged the freshman defensive tackles Keondre Coburn and Moro Ojomo in on the same drive for their first collegiate playing experience.
