Days before the game that would start his trek to superstardom, quarterback Pat White was done.
He was done with a lack of playing time and a lack of a role in West Virginia’s offense. He was done being relegated to a secondary role when he believed he was better than the man ahead of him. Most of all, he was done being overlooked.
Heading into an Oct. 15, 2005 game against Louisville, fresh off a game against Rutgers in which he had only three snaps, White’s frustration had reached a peak.
“Honestly, at that point, I was almost ready to give up and give in,” White said.
