WVU Sports

MORGANTOWN — Sometimes, crunching the numbers in sports is a losing proposition. Take last year’s WVU-Colorado game, won by the Buffaloes 17-14 in overtime. The Mountaineers rushed for 311 yards (Patrick White for 148 and Noel Devine 133) and they still lost the game. Colorado struck fast, quarterback Cody Hawkins throwing for two first-quarter touchdowns [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Colorado has lost seven consecutive road games and 13 of 15 played in Coach Dan Hawkins’ four seasons. West Virginia, which hosts the Buffaloes in Thursday’s 7:30 p.m. ESPN game, has won 15 of 17 home night games since 2000. The losses were against Pittsburgh in 2007 and Cincinnati last season. The [...]

MORGANTOWN – When West Virginia played at Colorado a year ago, one of the hottest topics of conversation prior to the game was geography. No one is saying anything about it this year, though, and with good reason. When the Mountaineers traveled to Boulder, they went across two time zones and up into the high [...]

MORGANTOWN — West Virginia Coach Bill Stewart pledged Monday linebacker Reed Williams and quarterback Jarrett Brown will play in Thursday’s 7:30 p.m. ESPN game from Mountaineer Field, but said he isn’t sure defensive tackle Scooter Berry will go against the Buffaloes. Berry (shoulder sprain) and Williams (foot sprain) both missed the Auburn game after being [...]

A few thoughts: * I spoke at a businessmen’s luncheon recently. They wanted an opinion on the 2009 Mountaineers. I bluffed my way through, because I’m out of the loop. I don’t know any more about them than you do. I did tell them I thought if WVU’s offensive line jells and quarterback Jarrett Brown [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – There probably shouldn’t have been any doubt about it. Noel Devine seemed a tad upset some might have existed. West Virginia’s junior running back, who by and large picked the times he’s spoken to the media and has never said anything close to controversial, simply will not discuss his role in the [...]

MORGANTOWN – Jarrett Brown admits that while he’s no masochist, he still couldn’t help but subject himself to watching West Virginia’s game at Auburn over and over and over again. By the Mountaineer quarterback’s own account, he probably watched the thing five times in two days. The outcome never changed and neither did his performance. [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – It only seemed fitting for freshman Abel “Shadow” Sebele to record the first and last shots of the game, as his final touch came in the form of his first career score – a game-winner. The goal guided the Mountaineers Complete Story at MSNsportsNET.Com

Dan Hawkins seems pretty much locked into a defensive mode these days, which on one hand is a good thing for the Colorado football coach. On the other hand? Well, not so much. It’s good in the sense that the Buffaloes – who play at West Virginia Thursday night (7:30 p.m. kickoff, ESPN) – need [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Through three games this year, West Virginia looks to have stayed in line with its recent past and run the football on 53 percent of its snaps. In truth, virtually all of quarterback Jarrett Brown’s 38 rushing attempts this season have come on pass plays when he decided to ditch the plan [...]
