West Virginia played 314 minutes, 47 seconds of football in 2018 without trailing. However, David Montgomery strolled into the endzone with 13 second left in the first quarter and WVU spent the rest of the game against Iowa State playing catch-up, a game that ultimately ended in the team’s first loss of the season.
The Mountaineers (5-1, 3-1) were thoroughly defeated on all three sides of the ball by the Cyclones (3-3, 2-2) on Saturday night in Ames, Iowa. The much-praised offense only notched nine first downs in the game, and amassed a meager 153 yards on offense.
