(Listen to the ‘3 Guys Before the Game’ podcast)

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The backfield trio of Steve Slaton, Owen Schmitt and Pat White earned legendary status at WVU for their three-year run from 2005-2007. The Mountaineers won eleven games in each season, winning Sugar, Gator and Fiesta Bowl games. All three players were selected in the NFL Draft.

Slaton left Morgantown after his junior season and was a third round pick of the Houston Texas. He played three full seasons there before being waived a month into his fourth season.
