Which recruit(s) have you most excited for 2009 and beyond?

After a cold win in Morgantown against the South Florida Bulls, the Mountaineers accepted a bid to play in the Meineke Bowl in Charlotte, NC. WVU (8-4) will likely face North Carolina (8-4) on December 27th.

West Virginia played in the inaugural Meineke Bowl in 2002 losing to Virginia 48-22.

Tickets are already being sold: Meineke Car Care Bowl

WVU struggled on both sides of the ball in the first half and Pat White threw a pair of interceptions that led to 10 first half points for Auburn. WVU came out big time in the second half. The defense was flying around the field and Devine ran all day long. The Mountaineers scored 31 unanswered points to take down Auburn. Noel Devine led the way with 207 yards on the ground, a career high. The biggest suprise of the day might have been that WVU only had one penalty for 7 yards.

What do you think about this win? Was it a confidence booster that will lead the Mountaineers to a Big East title? Or was it just a win again a sub-par Auburn team?

Thoughts on the future of this Mountaineer team in 2008?

WVU welcomed Marshall to Morgantown for the third annual Friends of Coal Bowl. The Mountaineers entered the game at 1-2, coming off a devastating loss to Colorado. Marshall entered the game with a record of 2-2.

The Mountaineer defense was stingy, giving up only 158 total yards and 3 pts to a Marshall team that scored 34 points the previous week. The defense also forced 3 turnovers including a Mortty Ivy interception.

The Mountaineers also showcased a new wrinkle to their offense…Junior QB, Jarrett Brown. Brown ran for 95 yards, threw for 41 and even caught a ball…though it was for negative yardage. Pat White threw for 130 yards and 2 TD and added another 61 yards on the ground before leaving in the 4rd quarter with an injured thumb. He did not return.

Sophomore RB, Noel Devine scored his first TD of the season in the 1st quarter. He finished with 125 yards on 14 carries including a couple of Barry Sanders-esque runs.

Next game: 10/04 vs Rutgers

What do you, the fans, think of throwing Jarrett Brown into the mix? Do you think this game was coached more effectively than the previous 3? Predictions for the rest of the 2008 season?

WVU drops consecutive games for the first time since 2003. Not much to say after another devastating loss.

What are your thoughts on the game…and the future of the Mountaineers in 2008.

For the second week in a row the Mountaineers were outgained. This week had a different ending. The Pirates scored first and never looked back. East Carolina defeated the Mountaineers 24-3. It was the first time in 7 years that WVU was held without a TD (45-3 against Miami in 2001).

Pat White Stats:
Passing: 11-18, 72 yards
Rushing: 20 carries, 97 yards

Noel Devine Stats:
Rushing: 12 carries, 94 yards
Receiving: 3 receptions, 9 yards

What are your thoughts on the Mounties so far?

The 2008 college football season started this weekend. The Mountaineers welcomed Villanova to Morgantown for the season opener.

A Different Look for the Mounties in ‘08?

Pat White threw a career high 5 TD’s vs Villanova. He was 25-33 for 209 yards. He also added 63 yards on the ground.

Next up: @ East Carolina on September 6th
