It was a cold, wet Saturday in Morgantown yesterday and after a slightly slow start, WVU pressed their foot on the gas pedal and Dustin Garrison responded, along with the defense. In what many felt could have been a trap game with an emotional let-down after last weekend, the Mountaineers put together their most complete, balanced game of the season to date. The 643 yards of offense were the most by a Mountaineer team since 2001 against Rutgers and the defense only allowed 217 total yards to go along with their 5 turnovers generated. Plenty of articles/features, interviews and more await...
