The 1996 Backyard Brawl is one of the notoriously unrecognized matchups between WVU and Pitt ever played.
John Antonik didn’t even mention it in his book, The Backyard Brawl.
As you saw from the video above, it was almost all Amos.
He took his first carry 69 yards for a touchdown and the Mountaineers never looked back.
Rahsaan Vanterpool caught a TD pass from Chad Johnston early in the second quarter and Jay Taylor followed up with a 20-yard field goal to give WVU a 17-0 halftime lead.
The offensive continued to roll in the second half as they finished with 461 yards of total offense.
