MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia’s defense was touted for being one of two in the nation not to allow a play over 50 yards this season. Friday’s game against Oklahoma abruptly changed that.
It only took seven plays for the Sooners to put a swift end to that oddity when quarterback Kyler Murray bolted down the sideline for a 55-yard touchdown. It was the first touchdown for OU, and only the beginning of a long night for the Mountaineers.
After struggling last week at Oklahoma State, WVU allowed 668 yards and 45 points in the 59-56 loss.
