WVU's Grid Success Not Found in Box Scores

The Longhorns ran 100 plays, had a substantial advantage in total yardage, rushing yardage, passing yardage, first downs, time of possession … you name it.

West Virginia, meanwhile, committed four turnovers (two of those coming in the red zone), struggled to control the line of scrimmage, was unable to get critical first downs when it needed them late to run out the clock, and had some penalties at key moments to keep the Longhorns in the game.

But the Mountaineers overcame all of this to win another tough football game. They survived - just as they did earlier this year against BYU, and just as they did against Kansas State.
