WVU coach Dana Holgorsen goes crowd-surfing after beating Texas

Texas actually outgained WVU 439-379, but five turnovers (three of which led to scores totaling 17 points) were the Longhorns’ undoing. “What we’re doing is working, so let’s just keep doing it”.

Today’s Texas Longhorns vs West Virginia Mountaineers college football game has a start time schedule of noon eastern time and airs on TV channel ESPNU.

Player of the game: West Virginia linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski was outstanding in the win.

The 6-foot, 241-pound second-year running back was shockingly overlooked during the recruitment process even though he’s a sledgehammer who ran a 4.48 forty at a camp before his senior season of high school.

“We were over-pursuing the ball”, Strong said. I was getting a little winded. “We’re playing physical. Those backs are running like animals”.

Texas 3rd down conversation rate (35.4%) ranks 102nd, while West Virginia’s defense allowing third-down conversions on only 31 percent of attempts ranks 19th in FBS.

Jerrod Heard had plenty of chances to rally the Longhorns in the fourth quarter but was intercepted twice by Daryl Worley and Nick Kwiatkoski, and Texas also managed only a field goal after driving to the West Virginia 10. Foreman is really coming on, having run for more than 150 yards in each of the past two weeks. The Horns moved well on the ground behind D’Onta Foreman with his 12 carry, 157 yard and two touchdown effort while Tyrone Swoopes threw for 98 yards and a TD and ran for 59 yards and another four scores. But Texas never led again.
