MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions en route to a comfortable 56-10 win in their 2020 season opener against an overmatched Eastern Kentucky squad.

Played in front of a crowd of 976 with families of players and coaches in attendance, WVU seized control early and was never threatened by an EKU team that lost to Marshall last Saturday, 59-0.
