I have a conundrum for you Mountaineer fans. I am going to ask you to choose between the single greatest rushing season in West Virginia history and the single greatest rushing game in Mountaineer history. How exactly can you choose between two records?
After a stellar freshman season, Steve Slaton exploded onto the scene in 2006. Coupled with Pat White and the spread, up-tempo zone-read, Slaton was a nightmare matchup. Blessed with 4.4 speed and great vision, Slaton could take a handoff, make one cut and get upfield. Fast.
The Mountaineers slowly assaulted the single-season rushing record.
