The West Virginia Mountaineers have punched their ticket to bowl eligibility with a win over the UCF Golden Knights in a 31-21 rain-soaked victory that pushed the Mountaineers to 6-5 in their last home game of the season. The Mountaineers honored multiple seniors and redshirt seniors on Senior Day; by my count there are seven (7) redshirt seniors and fifteen (15) seniors on the team.
The game itself was a surprise to me in that while UCF is not a great team, a record of 4-6 would be hard to convince anyone otherwise, they did come in with the best rushing defense in the Big 12 and the best rushing offense in the Big 12.
