On a Saturday filled with a few upsets, and even more close calls, the West Virginia Mountaineers were able to avoid the trap set by Bo Pelini and Youngstown State, putting the Penguins away in the second half.
Ka’Raun White scored his first career touchdown to put West Virginia on the board in the first quarter, but a sluggish start to the second quarter found the Mountaineers down 14-7 to the Penguins after Youngstown State quarterback Ricky Davis found University of Florida transfer Alvin Bailey on a 74-yard touchdown pass.
