The West Virginia Mountaineers improved to 3-3 on the season Thursday evening, holding off the Baylor Bears with a last-minute, chip-shot field goal for a final score of 43-40 and maintaining a perfect 6-0 record at home vs. the Bears.
The game's story lies in the turnover column, this time coming out in favor of the Mountaineers. Jasir Cox had a coming-out party on the defense, returning a fumble for a touchdown and recovering another for what was arguably the turning point of the game.
The win gives Neal Brown a little breathing room as WVU starts on the backend of the schedule, but he’s in no way out of the woods.
