The Mountaineers took a tough loss in their first game against Virginia Tech at FedEx Field. Late in the 4th quarter, WVU had a chance to tie the game, but David Sills V was unable to haul in a low pass end the zone. This allowed the Hokies to hang on for the victory, 31-24.

Despite the loss, West Virginia was able to pile up nearly 600 yards of total offense. It was a tightly contested game where both teams played well and a rivalry was renewed.

Saturday is a great day to get back on track with a difficult Big 12 schedule on the horizon. Road contests at ranked opponents Oklahoma, Kansas State and TCU are coming up.
