PrintWe are almost to single digits and today we feature one of the all time great WVU running backs, Steve Slaton:

Slaton carried the ball for WVU during the 2005 - 2007 seasons. He only saw spot action for the Mountaineers as a true freshman until he established himself during the fifth game of the year with 100 yards on only 11 carries in the loss to Virginia Tech. From that point on, he was firmly the starting running back for the Mountaineers. Of course, his breakout game nationally was against Louisville where he scored 6 touchdowns (1 was receiving) and ran for 191 yards. He finished his three year WVU career with 3923 yards, 50 touchdown and an amazing 5.9 yards per carry average. He also managed to haul in 65 pass receptions for 805 yards and 5 touchdowns. Here's a QUICK LINK to his numerous collegiate awards and honors. Slaton was drafted in the third round (89th overall pick) of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans where he is still currently playing.

I think this will always be my favorite picture of Steve Slaton
Taking a record away from Pitt’s Tony Dorsett is just so sweet.
There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women.
Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
I just thought the pic I used was appropriate
given next week’s game (and it had a slightly better shot of the jersey #)
Yes, your picture is perfect for this being the week before Marshall....
I still troll the UGA fans over at EDSBS about the 2006 Sugar Bowl.

"It's a draw play to Slaton...
…big opening off the left side…
…he’s in the open field and he’s got great speed!
Slaton inside the 20…he’s gone!
Touchdown, West Virginia!"
Not Jack, but still chills. Great call by Nessler on that.

2nd-fastest football Mountaineer ever
Behind James Jett, of course. Here’s hoping young Buie gives Super Steve a run for the 2 slot.

speed over what distance?
When they raced, steve won the 40 and pat won the 60. Noel undoubtedly would have won the 20. It was fun when all those guys were in the same backfield, wasn’t it?
