AUSTIN, Texas -- Despite the magnitude of the moment, West Virginia never wavered. With their season on the line, the Mountaineers were going for the win. And even after three consecutive timeouts -- two called by Texas -- they were going to run the same two-point play.
"Hey, you want to win the game?" coach Dana Holgorsen asked quarterback Will Grier on the sidelines after slapping him on the helmet.
"Let's f---ing win the game."
The Mountaineers then went out and did just that, scoring the decisive two-point conversion with 16 seconds left to defeat the Longhorns 42-41, upend the Big 12 race and elevate themselves into the College Football Playoff conversation.
