MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — After one of its most abysmal offensive performances in the last quarter-century, the West Virginia football team wanted to show that was a fluke more than a gruesome reality heading into Thursday night’s game against Baylor.
With 568 yards on just 64 plays, the No. 13 Mountaineers squashed those criticisms and Baylor in a 58-14 romp.
After mustering only 152 yards and one touchdown against Iowa State on Oct. 13, West Virginia needed three plays against the Bears to strike. Will Grier hit Gary Jennings on a post route for a 53-yard score.
