Watch: Emotional Skyler Howard pledges to ‘fight back’ after consecutive losses

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Shaken by back-to-back defeats and a sudden proclivity for turnovers, Skyler Howard became choked up Saturday night while answering questions about West Virginia’s 33-26 loss to Oklahoma State.

“Adversity is part of life. You’ve got to come back and fight back,” the quarterback said. “You could quit and just let life win, and let things go downhill, or you can fight back. I’ve always been the type of person to fight back and I always will be.”

Howard completed only 18-of-35 passes for 188 yards, threw a costly interception and lost an even costlier fumble.
