MORGANTOWN — Mountaineer fans where in for a doozy Thursday night under the lights at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium.
A fumble recovery ran back for a touchdown, a blocked extra point returned for a safety by Jacoby Spells, a Dante Stills tackle for loss record, two outstanding defensive turnovers by safety Aubrey Banks and spear Jasir Cox, and a career night for running back Tony Mathis — all capped off by a Casey Legg game winning field goal.
