FORT WORTH, Texas — A pair of players who began the season on the bench and their college careers elsewhere provided the winning touch for West Virginia in the 2019 season finale.
Quarterback Jarret Doege finished off his third start as a Mountaineer with a 35-yard touchdown pass to reserve wide receiver Isaiah Esdale, who made an acrobatic move to somehow slip the ball inside the pylon and give West Virginia a 20-17 lead over with TCU with 2:10 remaining.
Doege transferred from Bowling Green last offseason, and Esdale came from Eastern Arizona Community College just days before the start of the 2018 season.
