CHAMPS Life Skills The many challenges that today’s college student-athletes face, on and off the playing field, are unmatched in the history of higher education. Unfortunately, many students are not well prepared to face these challenges or encounter life issues that undermine health and success in college. To prepare student-athletes for the demands of college life and beyond, the NCAA developed the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)/ Life Skills program.

In the spring of 1995, West Virginia University Intercollegiate Athletics initiated its own CHAMPS/Life Skills program.

WVU was one of only 170 schools selected by the NCAA to participate in their national pilot program.

Five programming “commitment” areas viewed as critical to personal growth are part of WVU’s model. They are: 1) academic excellence, 2) personal development, 3) career development, 4) athletic excellence, and 5) community service.

Commitment to Academic Excellence

The purpose of this area is to support the academic progress of student-athletes toward intellectual development and timely graduation. Services provided include tutoring, academic counseling and advising,

mentoring, freshman orientation classes (Sport and Exercise Studies 170) and structured study sessions.

Commitment to Athletic Excellence

The purpose of this area is to offer athletic programs that are broad-based, equitable and dedicated to the well-being of the student-athlete. Overall, WVU Intercollegiate Athletics supports and encourages a broad program of sports. CHAMPS Life Skills acts as a performance psychology professional resource for the coaching and support staff of the athletic programs.

Commitment to Personal Development

The purpose of this area is to support the development of a well-balanced lifestyle for student-athletes, encouraging and supporting emotional well-being, personal growth and decision making skills.

CHAMPS/Life Skills services provided include personal counseling, health presentations, improving communication skills and presentations on social development and fiscal responsibility. A satellite office of the WVU Carruth Center for Counseling and Psychological Services and Well WVU is located in the Coliseum to support this commitment area.

Commitment to Service

The purpose of this component is to engage interested student-athletes in service to his or her campus and surrounding communities. Activities for student-athletes include peer education, guest speaking at campus and community events and mentoring local children.

Commitment to Career Development

The purpose of this area is to encourage student-athletes to develop and pursue career and life goals in a timely manner.

The CHAMPS/Life Skills program fulfills this purpose by offering career development presentations, sport career retirement programs, transitions from college class in the spring semester (SEP 493), and by working in conjunction with the WVU Carruth Center and the WVU Career Services Center on identifying an individual’s interests, career goals, crafting resumes and facilitating job search process.

For more information, see WVU intercollegiate athletics psychologist Dr. Ed Etzel in Room 275a in the Coliseum at (304) 293-7062, visit graduate assistant Michelle McAlarnen in Room 288 in the Coliseum or online at http://www.msnsportsnet.com/page.cfm?section=12102.

2010 OUTLOOK

outlook WVU vs. 2010 Schedule

West Virginia owns a 159-124-8 record against its 2010 opponents.

The Mountaineers have winning records over Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville, Marshall, Maryland and Rutgers. WVU faces Coastal Carolina, LSU and UNLV for the first time. Pitt, Syracuse and USF have the upper hand in the series with WVU.

The Numbers From Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven

The West Virginia Mountaineers have been one of the best teams in college football in the last seven years.

West Virginia’s two-year record (2008-09) of 18-8 is tied for 21stbest in college football.

West Virginia’s three-year record (2007-09) of 29-10 is 15thbest in college football.

West Virginia’s four-year record of 40-12 is 11th-best in college football behind only Boise State (494), Florida (48-7), Texas (45-8), Ohio State (44-8), BYU (43-9), USC (439), TCU (42-10), Oklahoma (42-13), Cincinnati (41-12) and Virginia Tech (41-13).

West Virginia’s five-year record of 51-13 is the eighth-best in college football behind only Texas (58-8), Boise State (58-8), Florida (57-10), USC (55-10), Ohio State (54-10), TCU (53-11) and Virginia Tech (5215).

West Virginia’s six-year record of 59-17 is ninth-best in college football behind Texas (69-9), Boise State (69-9), USC (68-10), Florida (64-15), Ohio State (62-14), Oklahoma (6218), Virginia Tech (62-18) and LSU (60-18).

And finally, West Virginia has 66 wins over the last seven years, which is good enough for 12th-place in college football.

Under Center

The 2010 season marks the second-straight year in which the Mountaineers will have to break in a new starting quarterback. Pat White finished his record-setting career in 2008, and Jarrett Brown had a successful senior season after taking the reins in 2009.

The leading candidate heading into the season is Geno Smith. He was limited in spring because of a broken bone in his left foot but was able to throw during the non-contact drills.

The sophomore signal caller saw action in five games last season, completing 32-of-49 passes for 309 yards and a touchdown. His top performance was in relief of Brown against Marshall when he threw for

54

147 yards on 15-of-21 passing and a touchdown in the 24-7 victory.

Redshirt sophomore Coley White showed tremendous improvement during the spring, while true freshmen Barry Brunetti and Jeremy Johnson will add depth.

A Devine Campaign

After having an outstanding junior year, running back Noel Devine decided to return for his senior season and not enter the NFL Draft.

His outstanding speed and ability make him a candidate for the top award in the land, the Heisman Trophy.

Devine, a unanimous first team all-BIG EAST Conference selection, WVU’s co-Offensive MVP selected by the coaching staff and a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award, had one of the best seasons for a Mountaineer running back in school annals in 2009, rushing for a career-best 1,465 yards, the fourth-best singleseason performance in school history, on 241 carries, with 13 touchdowns, a 6.1 yards-per-carry average and 112.7 per game.

His numbers ranked him second in the BIG EAST and No. 17 nationally. He posted seven 100-yard rushing efforts on the year and had seven rushes of 50 yards or more, four of which went for touchdowns.

He posted his career-high rushing performance last season against Colorado, when he ran for 220 yards on 22 carries and a touchdown. He also ran for 178 yards against Connecticut and 168 yards against Florida State in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl.

Devine is currently No. 5 on West Virginia’s career rushing chart, registering 3,381 yards, averaging 6.5 yards per rush and 23 touchdowns. He also ranks No. 10 on the BIG EAST’s all-time rushing yardage list. He has rushed for 100 or more yards in 15 games in his career, tying for No. 10 in the BIG EAST career rankings.

Solving Problems Fullback Ryan Clarke emerged in 2009 as a threat for the Mountaineers, complementing the elusive running of Noel Devine. The bruiser fixed West Virginia’s short yardage problems from 2008 with several key short yardage conversions throughout the season, including a big fourth-down conversion on the game-winning drive against Pitt. While only toting the ball 60 times, he still managed eight touchdowns, which converted into a score every 7.5 carries.

Clarke is the second-leading rusher returning from a year ago after finishing 2009 with 250 yards on the ground and a solid 4.2 yards per rush.

Slotting Sanders

As a junior, wide receiver Jock Sanders collected 72 receptions, the fourth-highest amount of catches by in a Mountaineer in a season.

Along with Noel Devine, Sanders also decided to return for his senior season instead of leaving early for the NFL Draft.

Sanders led the WVU receiving corps with 72 catches for 688 yards, an average of 9.6 yards per catch and three touchdowns. He also was one of the team’s punt returners, finishing with 17 returns for 146 yards, an average of 8.6 yards per return with a long of 35 yards.

Sitting No. 5 on WVU’s all-time receptions chart with 137, Sanders is currently on a 28-game streak with at least one reception. That streak ranks No. 3 on WVU’s reception streak list and No. 11 on the BIG EAST streak list.

His top performance last season was against Auburn when he collected 12 catches for 115 yards and a touchdown. He finished with eight or more catches in five games.

It’s Starks’ Time

Brad Starks is WVU’s secondleading returner at receiver in 2010, after finishing his sophomore campaign with 29 catches for 405 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged a team-best 14.0 yards per catch last season, and 45.1 yards per game, which ranked him No. 15 and No. 16 in the BIG EAST in those categories.

Starks led the Mountaineer receivers in the Gator Bowl with three catches for 30 yards and will team with Jock Sanders in 2010 to give the Mountaineers one of the best dual receiving threats in the BIG EAST.

Offensive Protection

Four starters from last year’s offensive line return this season.

Those starters played the majority of the offensive snaps, giving them needed experience.

Out of a total of 855 offensive snaps, junior left tackle Josh Jenkins played 853 plays, senior center Eric Jobe on 852, junior left tackle Don Barclay on 839 and sophomore guard Joe Madsen on 840 plays.

Senior tackle Matt Timmerman was used on 51 plays, redshirt freshman center and guard Jeff Braun saw action on 27 plays and redshirt freshman guard John Bassler and redshirt junior Chad Snodgrass were used on 13 plays.

Behind the blocking of the line, the Mountaineer offense had a 1,000-yard rusher for the 13th time in the last 14 seasons and the first 2,000-yard passer since 1998.

WVU ran for 186.4 yards per game,

passed for 191.1 yards per game, had 377.5 yards of total offense and scored 26.2 points per game.

The line helped the Mountaineer offense lead the BIG EAST in rushing yards and was No. 24 in the nation.

WVU has led the BIG EAST in rushing yards in six of the last seven years.

Barclay led the offensive line with 64 knockdowns and 15 thunderbolt blocks, Jenkins had 46 knockdowns and 10 thunderbolt blocks, Madsen finished with 43 knockdowns and seven thunderbolt blocks and Jobe had 18 knockdowns and one thunderbolt block.

Also looking to earn a spot in the rotation will be redshirt freshmen Cole Bowers (6-5, 294), Pat Eger (6-6, 275), Nick Kindler (6-6, 272), Ryan Spiker (6-3, 303) and Jordan Weingart (6-2, 296).

Neild Knows Defense

Redshirt senior Chris Neild will be counted on to be a defensive playmaker and defensive leader from the nose tackle position.

Despite being double-teamed, the all-BIG EAST Conference second-team selection by the league coaches and ESPN.com, and a Phil Steele third-team honoree, finished his junior season with 35 tackles, including 13 solo, and two for loss.

He also had one pass deflection and had his first career interception.

The interception came on the final drive against UConn in West Virginia’s 28-24 victory. During that game, Neild also recorded two solo and three assisted tackles.

At Auburn, he recorded three solo and two assisted tackles, while also providing the Mountaineers a spark at home against Colorado with two solo and four assisted tackles.

Neild was named the WVU Defensive Champion after his performances against Auburn, Colorado, Syracuse, Marshall, UConn and Rutgers.

Bursting Onto The Scene

Julian Miller burst onto the scene as a redshirt sophomore last season and made a name for himself, and he enters 2010 as one of the players to watch on the Mountaineer defense.

Arguably WVU’s biggest defensive success story in 2009, Miller finished with 53 tackles, including 30 solo stops, which was most among WVU defensive linemen and second most among defensive linemen in the BIG EAST. Miller’s totals also included nine sacks and 14 tackles for loss, a team high in both categories, and helped him earn third-team all-BIG EAST by Phil Steele. He enters 2010 with a streak of 18 straight games

55

outlook with at least one tackle, the fourthlongest streak on the team and best among WVU defensive linemen.

His sacks were the fourth-most in the BIG EAST, and he tied for sixth in tackles for loss. His 14 tackles for loss tied for fifth on the WVU singleseason tackle for loss list with Grant Wiley (2000, 2003), James Davis (2001) and David Upchurch (2001).

His top performance came against Louisville when he recorded six tackles, including five solo stops and three sacks. Two of his sacks came in the Cardinals’ last drive of the game.

He also had a standout game in the season opener against Liberty by recording a season-best seven tackles, including three unassisted tackles and two sacks.

He was named the WVU Defensive Champion after his performances against Liberty, Marshall, Louisville and Rutgers. Miller also was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week against the Cardinals.

Thomas’ Tenacity

Redshirt senior weak-side linebacker J.T. Thomas is a defensive playmaker who will be counted on to be one of the defensive leaders this season.

An all-BIG EAST Conference first-team selection by the league coaches, he finished second on the team in tackles (76), tied for second in tackles for loss (7), tied for third in interceptions (2) and had five pass breakups. Thomas finished with six or more tackles in eight games.

In the BIG EAST rankings, Thomas tied for No. 14 in passes defended and tied for 20th in total tackles.

The weak-side linebacker was named co-defensive champion by the WVU coaching staff for the Liberty game after finishing with seven tackles, including four solo stops, assisting on a sack and having 2.5 tackles-for-loss.

At Auburn, Thomas had a seasonhigh nine tackles, including five solo and a tackle for a loss. At league champion Cincinnati, Thomas finished with seven tackles, including four unassisted. He matched that total at USF. He is a second generation linebacker as his father, J.T., Sr., played at WVU in 1994 and 1995 and was an all-BIG EAST selection as a senior.

Shutting the Back Door The West Virginia defense returns four of its five starters in the defensive secondary. Led by all-BIG EAST first-team performers Robert Sands and Brandon Hogan, senior Sidney Glover and junior Keith Tandy, the defensive backfield looks to be solid for the Mountaineers.

Hogan, the left cornerback, was

56

the team’s third-leading tackler last season, finishing with 74 total stops, including a team-leading 46 solo tackles and two tackles for loss. He led the team in pass breakups with 11 and finished with one interception and recovered a fumble.

Sands, the free safety, was the fifth-leading tackler on the team, collecting 65 total tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss. He led WVU in interceptions with five and was second in pass breakups with eight. He led the BIG EAST in interceptions and passes defended and tied for No. 28 in total tackles. Sands’ top performance came against Florida State in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl, when he registered a game-high 13 tackles, including a team-high two tackles for loss.

Glover, the spur safety, was the seventh-leading tackler last season, registering 60 total tackles, including 39 solo stops, 1.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss. He also finished with two interceptions, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Glover was No. 17 in the BIG EAST in passes defended and tied for No. 28 in total tackles.

Tandy, who returns as the starter at right cornerback, was the sixthleading tackler on the squad last season with 61 total tackles, including 41 solo stops and four tackles for loss. He also had three interceptions, four pass breakups and a fumble recovery. Tandy finished in a tie for No. 14 in the BIG EAST in passes defended and tied for No. 10 in interceptions.

Looking to add depth or compete for starting positions in the secondary next season will be sophomore Terence Garvin at the spur safety position, sophomore Pat Miller at cornerback and redshirt freshman Brodrick Jenkins at cornerback

Big Shoes to Fill

Jarrett Brown had big shoes to fill in 2009 at quarterback, but so did Tyler Bitancurt, who had to replace one of the nation’s best kickers in AllAmerican Pat McAfee.

Bitancurt’s inaugural season was a success as he connected on 13 of 15 field goal attempts, 41 PATs, hit four field goals in a game twice and had the game-winning, last second 43-yard field goal to defeat No. 8 Pitt.

His year went so well, that he earned first-team all-BIG EAST honors from the league’s coaches.

His 80 total points in 2009 rank third in all-time freshman scoring at WVU and rank No. 10 on the school’s all-time single season kick scoring list.

In the BIG EAST last year, Bitancurt ranked No. 5 in field goals made, No. 5 in kick scoring and No. 10 in overall league scoring.

BILL stewart head coach

W

ith a father-like personality held by few and a work ethic held by even fewer, New Martinsville, W.Va., native Bill Stewart enters his third full season as West Virginia University’s head football coach.

Stewart hasn’t looked back since hitting the ground running when he was named interim head coach three weeks prior to the 2008 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, preparing and rallying a team, a coaching staff, a school and a state.

After guiding the Mountaineers to a remarkable 48-28 victory against Oklahoma, and arguably the most memorable bowl win in school history, especially under the circumstances, Stewart was named West Virginia University’s 32nd head football coach on January 3, 2008, one day after the impressive victory.

Since then, Stewart has produced consecutive 9-4 seasons, a victory over North Carolina in the Meineke Car Care Bowl in 2008, a berth in the 2010 Konica Minolta Gator Bowl and consecutive Top 25 finishes.

Stewart’s nine victories in 2008 marked the most by a first-year Mountaineer coach in school history.

Stewart has coached 20 players to all-BIG EAST accolades in his two seasons and watched quarterback Pat White become the NCAA’s all-time leading rushing quarterback and the first in college football history to win four straight bowl games as a starting quarterback in 2008.

“Our goals are to win the BIG EAST championship every year,” Stewart says. “We want to be the premier team in the league. We want to be a team of national stature, but we’re going to do it the right way with great student-athletes that buy into the plan.

We want great husbands, great dads, great men of society and great men of faith. If all that ties into winning, that means we’ve had a great program.

“I’m going to be judged on the wins. I know that. What I do with these young men’s lives, I’m being judged by the master coach. And that’s where I lay down every night and sleep very well. If that ever changes than I need to get out of it. Winning is very important, it’s our life blood. Doing it the right way, all the time, and being an example for other programs is very important for me.”

Stewart is no stranger to Morgantown, the state of West Virginia or to the college football world as his coaching experiences have been vast and varied.

“I’m very honored, very proud and very humbled to be the 32nd head football coach at this great school,” Stewart says. “I work for the team, the state’s flagship university and for the people of the great state of West Virginia.”

Prior to being named head coach, he spent eight years on the West Virginia staff under WVU coaches Don Nehlen and Rich Rodriguez, working with the Mountaineer tight ends and serving as associate head coach in 2007 after spending the prior seven seasons coaching the quarterbacks. He also had the role of special teams coordinator under Rodriguez.

His lengthy coaching resume began at Fairmont State, where he was a student assistant coach for a season, before becoming an assistant coach at Sistersville (W.Va.) High School in 1975. In 1977, he moved to Salem College, where he was assistant football and head track coach for two seasons. In 1979, he moved to the University of North Carolina (1980); he was later an assistant at Marshall (1980), William & Mary (1981-83), Navy (1984), North Carolina (1985-87), Arizona State (1988-89) and Air Force (1990-93).

In 1994, Stewart became head football coach at VMI, where he was 8-25 over three seasons. His 1995 team was the highest scoring (24.5 ppg) squad in VMI history, and Keydet running back Thomas Haskins set a I-AA rushing record with 5,349 yards.

Stewart came to WVU in January 2000, from the Canadian Football League, where he served as offensive coordinator of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1999, tutoring two all-conference receivers and a 1,000-yard rusher.

As offensive line coach for the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes in 1998, Stewart’s line blocked for Mike Pringle, the first 2,000-yard rusher in CFL history.

A 1975 education graduate from Fairmont State, where he was a three-year letterman and team captain for the WVIAC champions in 1974, Stewart earned his master’s degree in health and physical education from WVU in 1977.

Highly regarded as one of the “good guys” in the profession, Stewart has had several personal and professional life influences starting with his mother, father and older brother.

“I didn’t come from much, but we had a lot of love,” Stewart says of his upbringing. “We had discipline in our home, but we had much love. My big brother, Ted, was a role model for me as well. He is a great man. He was one of my heroes growing up. My coaches and teachers were also my heroes.

“Professionally, I’ve been so blessed. Don Nehlen, hall of fame coach and the 17th winningest coach; Dick Crum, 110

at UNC, the greatest organizer I’ve ever been around; Gary Tranquill, at UNC, was probably the best football coach I ever worked with and Fisher DeBerry, at Air Force, his enthusiasm was second to none. They’re all great people that I emulated and that I was fortunate to work with. I sure hope all of them rubbed off on me.”

His coaching philosophies and goals are simple, yet indepth.

“It’s real simple,” Stewart says. “You out-block them, out-tackle them, out-hit them and out-hustle them. If you do that - I’m not into slogans and rah-rah – but if you do that you’ve got a chance to be real successful.

“I’m into looking right through peoples’ eyes and into their hearts. I have limitations. But I’ve been blessed with a great administration that let me hire people that are experts in their field. That being said, they have to have someone who is a leader. From the time I was a little

Through the Years with Bill Stewart Bill Stewart Year-By-Year

boy, I’ve always stepped to the front. I never stood in the background. I’m going to take that and go. Being a leader and getting things done has always been one of my strong suits.

“Everyone wants to win. Life is about winning and that’s the American way. The winning comes from hard work. In winning, you have to do things the right way. I will never sacrifice the West Virginia standards to win. I’m never going to cheat, never! We’re going to do things the old-fashioned, right way. And that means you out-work them. Just because I don’t jump in someone’s face or curse them, doesn’t mean I’m not intense. Our players and coaches will tell you I get after it when I have to. I don’t like to do that.”

Stewart and his wife, Karen, also a native of New Martinsville, have one son, Blaine.

YOUNG The senior member of the West Virginia football staff, Donnie Young is well into his third decade as a member of the Mountaineer coaching family. Prior to the 2001 season, he took on the role of administrative assistant for high school and alumni relations for Mountaineer football after seven seasons on the field as linebacker coach.

Young returned to the field before the 1993 season to coach the Mountaineer rush and weak-side linebackers. Perhaps no season was more rewarding to Young than 1996, when his protégé Canute Curtis earned consensus All-America honors as a finalist for the Butkus and Bronko Nagurski Awards.

During that same season, Young helped the WVU defense earn NCAA rankings of first in the nation in total defense (217.5 ypg), second in rushing defense (61.5 ypg), fourth in scoring defense (12.4 ppg) and fifth in pass efficiency defense (86.8). The Mountaineers committed the fewest turnovers of any team nationally (10); WVU’s +1.27 turnover margin was second in the country.

Hall of Fame coach Don Nehlen named Young recruiting coordinator for Mountaineer football in 1980, after he had served 10 years as an assistant coach at WVU under Bobby Bowden and as assistant head coach under Frank Cignetti. Young was previously head coach at Salem College for three years, leading the Tigers to a 19-6-1 record.

His 1969 team posted an 8-1 record and was ranked in the NAIA’s Top 20. He was named West Virginia Conference Coach of the Year that season. He was also an assistant coach at Salem for one season prior to assuming the head coaching chair.

The Clendenin, W.Va., native was a standout defensive guard for the Mountaineers, earning three letters and was an all-conference selection. He received the Ira E. Rodgers Award and the Louis D. Meisel Award in 1964.

Young received his bachelor’s degree in physical education and biology from WVU in 1965 and his master’s degree in physical education and safety from WVU in 1967.

Young, who earned the 1988 Proficiency Award from the Morgantown Touchdown Club, and his wife, Chyleen, have two children -- Tabitha and Chad, both WVU graduates -- and four grandchildren, Melody, Timmy, Levi and Dawson.

SEASON REVIEW

game-by-game recaps

Sept. 5, 2009 | Morgantown, W.Va. West Virginia started the 2009 football season, and the Jarrett Brown era at quarterback, with a win, defeating Liberty, 33-20, before 57,950 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Brown was steady in his debut, completing 19-of-26 passes for 243 yards, while rushing for 69 yards and one touchdown.

In the game’s opening drive, Brown engineered a seven-play series that ended with a 38-yard field goal by redshirt freshman kicker Tyler Bitancurt.

With the Mountaineers on top 3-0, Liberty answered with its own seven play scoring drive, as the Flames tied the game at 3-3 on a 32-yard field goal by kicker Matt Bevins.

With 2:53 left in the first quarter, West Virginia scored its first touchdown of the 2009 campaign, when redshirt freshman fullback Ryan Clarke powered in from two-yards out for a 10-3 Mountaineer lead. The first touchdown drive of the season covered 76 yards in 10 plays.

Liberty answered at the 12:52 mark of the second quarter, when Mike Brown scored on a 20-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tommy Beecher as the Flames tied the game once again.

The Mountaineers then moved out to a 17-10 advantage with 8:44 left in the half when Brown called his own number and scampered 22 yards for the score.

West Virginia went on to pad its lead before halftime with two more scores. With 1:58 remaining in the half, Bitancurt added his second field goal of the game with a 35-yard conversion, and then with just 20 seconds left, he came through again, this time with an impressive 45-yard attempt, giving West Virginia the edge at halftime by a 23-10 count.

Both of WVU’s scoring drives in the final 2:00 of the first half covered more than 50 yards, and the Mountaineers were efficient with the game clock.

Liberty struck first in the third quarter and stayed within striking distance by cutting the deficit to 23-13 with 5:21 left as Bevins converted on a field goal from 49-yards out.

As the quarter ended, Bitancurt capped his impressive debut with his fourth field goal as he hit from 36 yards out to give West Virginia a 26-13 lead heading into the final quarter.

With 6:57 remaining in the game, West Virginia put the game out of reach when sophomore safety Robert Sands intercepted Beecher to set up WVU’s final scoring drive in the game.

Taking advantage of the turnover, Brown hit receiver Jock Sanders for 38 yards, before Noel Devine burst through for a 24-yard scoring run to give WVU a commanding 33-13 lead.

Liberty added a late touchdown with just 52 seconds left in the contest, when Brown scored his second touchdown of the game with a nine-yard run to put the final totals at 33-20 in favor of the Mountaineers.

Aside from the strong performances of Brown and Bitancurt, Devine finished with 112 yards on 17 carries, and Sanders added eight receptions for 95 yards. J.T. Thomas and Julian Miller led the defensive effort with seven tackles and combined for two sacks and five tackles for loss.

For the Flames, Beecher finished with 210 yards passing, and Brown had an impressive 157 yards receiving on 11 catches. Wes Cheek paced the Liberty defense with eight tackles.

Final numbers showed West Virginia with 195 yards rushing and 243 passing for 348 yards of total offense. Liberty stood at 89 yards on the ground and 210 through the air for 299 yards of total offense.

With the win, West Virginia improved to 54-12 in its last 66 regular-season games and have won six straight home openers, including 10 of the last 11.

Sept. 12, 2009 | Morgantown, W.Va. West Virginia overcame a 10-point, first quarter deficit to defeat East Carolina, 35-20, before a crowd of 59,216 at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Senior quarterback Jarrett Brown brought the Mountaineers back on the strength of his arm and legs as he finished with a career-high 334 yards passing and four touchdowns to go along with 73 yards rushing. Brown’s 24 completions were also a career best as he accounted for 407 yards of total offense.

A West Virginia comeback was needed after a slow start that saw penalties serve as momentum killers. East Carolina took advantage of some early Mountaineer penalties to gain field position and record the game’s first score.

With 9:52 left in the opening quarter, the Pirates struck on a 37-yard field goal

by Ben Hartman, and then later in the quarter extended the margin to 10-0, when Dominique Lindsay rushed in from two yards away. The first Pirate scoring drive was only 31 yards and the second just 26 yards as field position played an early role in the contest.

West Virginia then reversed its poor field position by mounting an 80-yard drive that ended when Brown found receiver Alric Arnett for a 46-yard touchdown strike with just eight seconds left in the quarter.

The Mountaineers took the lead for good with 6:27 left in the half when Brown connected with fullback Will Johnson on a four-yard scoring toss in a drive that also covered 80 yards.

With WVU leading 14-10, East Carolina took advantage of a muffed punt to close the gap to 14-13 on a Hartman 23-yard field goal.

On West Virginia’s next possession, Brown went to the air again to cap a 66-yard scoring drive with an 11-yard pass to Arnett for a 21-13 advantage. The Pirates closed out the first half, taking advantage of a second fumbled punt by the Mountaineers. ECU then scored a touchdown on Patrick Pinkney’s four-yard pass to Jamar Bryant to put the halftime score at 21-20 in favor of West Virginia.

Out of four scoring drives in the first half by the Pirates, none were longer than 31 yards, and second-half action saw West Virginia correct the miscues, while the defense got stingy and blanked the Pirates.

After stopping ECU on the opening drive of the second half, West Virginia went to the air once again, and Brown found true freshman Tavon Austin streaking down the middle, resulting in a 58-yard scoring play and a 28-20 Mountaineer advantage with 12:19 left.

In its 28 points in the game thus far, the West Virginia offense turned in impressive scoring drives of 80, 80, 66 and 80 yards.

As the WVU defense continued to stiffen, the Mountaineer offense iced the game with 8:18 left in the fourth quarter when tailback Noel Devine broke loose for a four yard scoring jaunt and a 35-20 lead.

Aside from Brown, Devine turned in 80 yards rushing and Jock Sanders hauled in nine catches for 99 yards. Cornerback Brandon Hogan led the Mountaineer defense with 11 tackles and two pass deflections.

For ECU, Pinkney passed for 175 yards and safety Van Eskridge and linebacker Jimmy Chambliss each turned in nine tackles.

Final totals saw WVU rush for 175 yards and pass for 334 to total 509 yards of total offense. East Carolina finished with just 62 yards on the ground and 175 through the air for 237 yards of offense.

With the win, West Virginia improved to 18-3 all-time versus East Carolina and 13-0 against the Pirates in Morgantown.

Sept. 19, 2009 | Auburn, Ala. In a game that was delayed for one hour and three minutes due to lightning and torrential rain, West Virginia jumped out to a 14-0 lead and never trailed until the 12:07 mark of the fourth quarter, as six Mountaineer turnovers began taking their toll, enabling Auburn to pull away for a 41-30 victory before 87,451 fans at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Five interceptions and one fumble resulted in 24 points for the Tigers and proved too much for the Mountaineers to overcome.

Jarrett Brown’s 58-yard bomb to receiver Brad Starks on WVU’s opening possession set up the game’s first score two plays later when tailback Noel Devine scored from one-yard out for a 7-0 lead.

On its next possession, WVU moved out to a 14-0 advantage when Devine broke loose for a 71 yard touchdown run, which quieted the Auburn crowd for a moment until the Tiger offense got on the board at the 7:24 mark with Wes Byrum’s 46-yard field goal.

The Tigers quickly got the ball back off a WVU miscue and closed the gap to 1410 when Darvin Adams pulled in a 16-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Chris Todd.

West Virginia came back to take a 21-10 lead when Brown hit Jock Sanders for a six-yard scoring play to close out a 31 point combined first quarter performance by both teams.

Second quarter action saw Auburn put 10 points on the board behind a 42-yard Byrum field goal and a four-yard Todd touchdown pass to Adams to put the score at 21-20 in favor of West Virginia at the half.

After stopping Auburn on its first drive of the second half, West Virginia extended its lead when Devine rushed in from 12-yards away, but a missed Tyler Bitancurt extra point gave the Mountaineers a 27-20 lead with 8:51 left.

Auburn tied the game just 49 seconds later when Todd connected with Mario Fannin for an 82-yard touchdown reception. But the Mountaineers answered with a 14-play, 52-yard drive that ended with a 28-yard Bitancurt field goal and a 30-27 advantage heading into the fourth.

With 12:07 left to play, Adams pulled in his third touchdown on the night with a 17-yard reception from Todd to give Auburn its first lead of the game at 34-30.

West Virginia continued to move the ball and had two more scoring chances but interceptions again ended any threats.

West Virginia’s fourth interception sealed the game for the Tigers, as Craig Stevens returned it 15 yards for a touchdown, putting the final score at 41-30.

Devine finished with 128 yards rushing and three touchdowns, while Brown passed for 221 yards and rushed for 66. Sanders had a game-high 12 catches for 115 yards and one score. The Mountaineer defense, playing without injured stalwarts Reed Williams and Scooter Berry, was led by linebacker J.T. Thomas with nine tackles.

For Auburn, Todd finished with 284 yards passing and four scores, while Ben Tate rushed for 75 yards. To go along with his three scores, Adams collected 80 yards receiving, while linebackers Josh Bynes and Craig Stevens combined for 23 tackles.

Both also collected interceptions in the game.

The offensive showdown saw both teams combine for 909 yards of total offense.

West Virginia finished with 207 yards rushing and 302 passing for 509 yards of total offense. Auburn’s totals stood at 100 yards rushing and 300 passing for an even 400 yards of total offense.

The loss broke West Virginia’s five game winning streak against SEC competition.

Oct. 1, 2009 | Morgantown, W.Va. Behind a career-best rushing night from tailback Noel Devine, West Virginia overcame four first-half turnovers to defeat Colorado, 35-24, before a Thursday night ESPN national audience.

Devine broke loose for 220 yards rushing and one touchdown, averaging 10 yards per carry as West Virginia amassed 257 yards rushing.

It didn’t take long for Devine to make his presence felt in the game as he scored on the game’s second play with the 77-yard touchdown run.

Colorado answered the score at the 8:36 mark when tailback Rodney Stewart broke loose for a 36-yard scoring run to tie the game.

Even though the West Virginia offense continued to move the ball on Colorado, four first half drives were halted by Mountaineer turnovers, which enabled the Buffaloes to take a 10-7 lead behind Aric Goodman’s 39-yard field goal in the second quarter.

Through the turnovers, the Mountaineer defense held strong, allowing only the three points to the Buffaloes until the offense got back on track. With 1:21 remaining in the first half, WVU quarterback Jarrett Brown hit receiver Jock Sanders for a sixyard touchdown, giving the Mountaineers a 14-10 halftime advantage.

Oct. 10, 2009 | Syracuse, N.Y. West Virginia took advantage of a key defensive play in the game’s opening drive to spark a 34-13 victory over Syracuse in the BIG EAST opener at the Carrier Dome.

Defensive lineman Josh Taylor intercepted Syracuse quarterback Greg Paulus at the WVU 28, and returned it eight yards, before fumbling into the hands of teammate Pat Lazear who scampered another 53 yards to set up the game’s first score.

With the ball on the Syracuse 11, it took the Mountaineer offense just one play to hit paydirt, when quarterback Jarrett Brown hit tailback Noel Devine out of the backfield for an 11-yard touchdown pass and a quick 7-0 West Virginia lead.

The Mountaineer offense kept the heat on in its second possession and marched 80 yards in 14 plays to up WVU’s advantage to 14-0 after fullback Ryan Clarke powered in from one-yard away.

The West Virginia defense continued to force three and outs on the Syracuse offense, while the benefactor was the Mountaineer offense.

WVU jumped out to a 20-0 lead at the 9:49 mark of the half, when Clarke powered in again from three-yards out, and the PAT was missed off a bad snap. The scoring drive was highlighted by a 33-yard completion from Brown to fullback Will Johnson, and a 27-yard completion from Brown to receiver Bradley Starks.

Another three and out by the Mountaineer defense set up a 49-yard punt return by cornerback Brandon Hogan to the Orange nine-yard line, giving West Virginia excellent field position to start its fourth scoring drive of the half.

In just one play, receiver Jock Sanders covered the nine yards on an end-around sweep, and the Mountaineers were up 27-0 at the half.

Syracuse got on the board at the 9:52 mark of the third quarter, when backup quarterback Ryan Nassib found receiver Mike Williams for a 50-yard scoring bomb.

The Mountaineer defense had kept the explosive Williams in-check for most of the first half, but he got deep to cut the Mountaineer lead to 27-6 after the Orange missed the extra point.

West Virginia’s defense continued to play strong, and kept the Orange at bay until the offense could put the game away at the 14:55 mark of the fourth quarter. Devine rushed in from four yards to end a nine-play, 60-yard drive highlighted by a 26-yard completion from Brown to Starks.

Trailing 34-6 in the fourth, Syracuse added another score with 9:08 left in the game, when Nassib hit Marcus Sales on a 24-yard scoring toss, but the Orange could not score again on the WVU defense.

Brown finished with 244 yards passing, while Devine added 91 yards rushing.

Sanders led the Mountaineer receivers with 67 yards through the air. Safety Sidney Glover led a strong defensive effort with six tackles.

Syracuse got 120 yards passing from Nassib, who replaced Paulus in the second half. Williams added 89 yards receiving, while Max Suter finished with a game-high 12 tackles.

The Mountaineers finished with 127 yards rushing and 258 passing to total 385 yards of total offense. Syracuse was held to just 72 yards rushing by a stingy WVU defense. The Orange totaled 150 through the air to finish with 222 yards of offense.

West Virginia controlled the ball nearly 19 minutes longer than Syracuse, while the Mountaineer defense held the Orange to 0-11 on third-down conversions.

The win gave West Virginia (4-1/1-0) its eighth-straight victory over the Orange and fourth straight in the Carrier Dome.

Oct. 17, 2009 | Morgantown, W.Va. West Virginia overcame an injury to starting quarterback Jarrett Brown on the game’s fourth play to defeat Marshall, 24-7, for the ninth-straight time.

On third-and-eight, Brown rushed for 13 yards, but was hit by two Marshall defenders in the head and suffered a mild concussion, which forced him out of the game.

In came true freshman quarterback Geno Smith, and he responded with a solid performance, completing 15-of-21 passes for 147 yards and one touchdown.

Smith would have to bring the Mountaineers from behind in his first significant collegiate action, as Marshall grabbed an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter.

The Thundering Herd took advantage of West Virginia penalties to keep the scoring drive alive and found the end zone, when quarterback Brian Anderson rushed in from 12-yards away. Anderson’s scoring run ended a 16-play, 64-yard drive for the Herd that covered 8:14 of the first quarter.

With the West Virginia offense trying to adjust to the true freshman at the controls, the defense simply kept the Mountaineers in the game. Recording an interception and a fumble recovery, the defense held the Herd at bay until the offense finally got on the scoreboard with just 0:44 remaining in the half, when kicker Tyler Bitancurt converted on a 32-yard field goal, putting the halftime score at 7-3 in favor of Marshall.

Whatever adjustments the West Virginia coaches made at halftime certainly worked, and the Mountaineers took control of the game in the second half.

After holding Marshall on the third quarter’s opening possession, West Virginia took its first lead of the game at the 10:49 mark, when tailback Noel Devine scored on a 14-yard run, giving WVU a 10-7 advantage.

West Virginia’s defense continued to be impressive in the second half by recording another interception and recovering a fumble, while keeping the Herd out of the end zone.

West Virginia padded its lead to 17-7 at the 12:31 mark of the fourth quarter, when Smith hit receiver Alric Arnett for a pretty 33-yard touchdown pass. It marked Smith’s first collegiate touchdown pass, and it gave WVU breathing room.

West Virginia finished the game with a nine-play scoring drive late in the fourth quarter that ended with Devine’s second touchdown in the game, this time from nine-yards away.

Aside from Smith’s numbers, Devine rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns.

He came into the game as the nation’s No. 3-ranked rusher behind the Thundering Herd’s Darius Marshall at No. 2, and Devine out-dueled the Marshall back.

Sidney Glover and Reed Williams keyed the strong WVU defensive effort that held the Herd to just 68 total offensive yards in the second half, and 58 total rushing yards for the game. Glover and Williams combined for 17 tackles, two TFL, one forced fumble and two pass deflections.

For Marshall, Anderson passed for 149 yards and Marshall rushed for 82. Tight end Cody Slate led all receivers with 10 catches for 102 yards. Ashton Hall paced the Herd defense with nine tackles.

West Virginia finished with 147 yards rushing and 166 passing for 313 yards of total offense. The Herd’s final totals stood at 58 yards rushing and 149 passing for 207 yards of total offense.

The win gave West Virginia its fourth-straight Friends of Coal Bowl victory, and a 13-game non-conference home winning streak. The game marked the end of the non-conference regular season schedule for West Virginia, with the Mountaineers turning in a 4-1 non-conference record in 2009..

Oct. 24, 2009 | Morgantown, W.Va. In a game filled with emotion and six lead changes, No. 22/22 West Virginia used a late fourth quarter rally to defeat Connecticut, 28-24, on Homecoming at Milan Puskar Stadium.

It marked the first game for the Huskies since junior cornerback Jasper Howard was murdered the previous week on the UConn campus. Both teams honored Howard’s memory with a moment of silence before the game, handshakes and helmet stickers bearing Howard’s number 6.

West Virginia got the action started on the game’s opening kickoff when Tavon Austin returned it 98 yards for a quick 7-0 Mountaineer lead.

Connecticut never flinched and came back to tie the game with 5:46 left in the quarter, when tailback Jordan Todman rushed in from five-yards away.

The Huskies took their first lead of the game with 2:53 left in the second quarter when kicker Dave Teggart converted on a 38-yard field goal for a 10-7 lead.

West Virginia was not done and the final 2:00 of the first half saw a flurry of scoring. West Virginia regained the lead with just 0:49 left to play when quarterback Jarrett Brown rushed in from five-yards away to finish an impressive 10-play, 81yard drive that was highlighted by 23- and 31-yard pass completions from Brown.

However, the lead was short lived as Connecticut returned the ensuing kickoff to WVU’s 42-yard line and three plays later, quarterback Cody Endres connected with Kashif Moore for a 17-yard score, putting the Huskies up 17-14 at intermission.

The two defenses held for most of the third quarter until West Virginia grabbed the lead back with 2:55 remaining in the quarter when Brown found tight end Tyler Urban in the back of the end zone for a one-yard scoring strike and a 21-17 WVU advantage. The score was set up by a 62-yard run from tailback Noel Devine Coming up with key stops and forcing turnovers, the West Virginia defense protected the lead until the final 4:00 of the game. WVU looked to have clinched the win when defensive back Kent Richardson intercepted Endres and returned it 46 yards to the UConn 10-yard line, but he fumbled, and the Huskies recovered.

It took Connecticut just three plays to cash in on the fumble as Endres hit Marcus Easley for a huge 88-yard touchdown reception, giving the Huskies a 24-21 with just 3:50 remaining in the game.

The Mountaineers needed a game-winning drive and some big plays, and they got them. Starting at its own 20, WVU converted a third-and-six and then another first down, before Devine broke loose again for a 56-yard scamper and the 28-24 lead with just 2:03 left in the game.

UConn still had plenty of time left, but defensive back Sidney Glover tipped an Endres pass on fourth down, and it was intercepted by defensive lineman Chris Neild to preserve WVU’s sixth victory of the season.

Devine finished with 178 yards rushing, while Brown passed for 153 yards.

Receivers Jock Sanders and Alric Arnett combined for 132 yards receiving, while linebacker Pat Lazear recorded 11 tackles.

Endres passed for 378 yards, but had three interceptions for the Huskies. Easley finished with 157 yards receiving, while Todman rushed for 94 yards. Greg Lloyd led the Husky defense with 13 tackles.

Final totals showed WVU with 234 yards rushing and 153 passing for 387 yards of total offense. Connecticut possessed the ball nearly three minutes longer than the Mountaineers and wound up with 123 yards rushing and 378 passing for 501 yards of total offense.

With the victory, West Virginia improved to 6-0 all-time against Connecticut.

Oct. 30, 2009 | Tampa, Fla. USF put together a balanced rushing and passing attack to upset No. 20 West Virginia 30-19 at Raymond James Stadium.

The Friday night nationally televised contest got started on the positive side for West Virginia, as the Mountaineers took the game’s opening possession and drove 80 yards for the first score.

Quarterback Jarrett Brown rushed in from three-yards away, giving the Mountaineers a quick 7-0 lead with 9:42 on the clock. The scoring drive was highlighted by a 32-yard completion from Brown to receiver Alric Arnett.

USF tied the game just two minutes later, when quarterback B.J. Daniels hit receiver Carlton Mitchell for a 49-yard touchdown to start the scoring for the Bulls.

USF took a 10-7 lead with 2:55 left in the first, when kicker Eric Schwartz connected on a 30-yard field goal. The Mountaineers answered with a safety on the final play of the quarter, when defensive end Julian Miller tackled Jamar Taylor in the end zone.

With USF leading 10-9 at the 6:57 mark of the second quarter, the Bulls extended their lead to 17-9, when Daniels hooked up with A.J. Love for an 11yard scoring toss.

West Virginia cut the margin to 17-12 with 3:34 left in the half, when kicker Tyler Bitancurt hit a 33-yard field goal. However, USF extended the lead back to eight, 20-12, when Schwartz converted on a 26-yard field goal attempt just before the half.

Just like its opening possession of the game, West Virginia’s first possession of the second half resulted in a touchdown. The Mountaineers put together a nine-play, 63-yard drive that ended when Brown rushed in for his second touchdown, this time from 11 yards out, cutting the deficit to 20-19.

But the WVU defense could not hold and the momentum was lost, as USF struck back on its next drive. The Bulls went on a 69-yard drive that ended with Daniels’ third touchdown pass, this one to receiver Sterling Griffin from sixyards away, extending the USF lead to 27-19 with 5:26 left in the third quarter.

USF added insurance points at the 12:06 mark of the fourth, when Schwartz connected on a 44-yard field goal, giving him three for the night.

West Virginia managed one more drive deep into USF territory, which got as far as the Bulls’ 20-yard line, but the drive stalled, and ended when WVU could not convert on fourth down.

For West Virginia, Brown passed for 205 yards to go along with his two rushing scores. Tailback Noel Devine came into the game as the nation’s No. 3 rusher, but was held to 42 yards on 17 carries.

For USF, Daniels rushed for 104 yards and passed for 232 to total 336 yards of total offense. Moise Plancher added 86 yards rushing, while Mitchell led all receivers with 132 yards. The USF defense was led by linebacker Kion Wilson with 12 tackles, three TFL and one interception.

Final totals for West Virginia showed the Mountaineers with 118 yards rushing and 205 passing for 323 yards of total offense. USF finished with 189 yards rushing and 232 passing for 421 total yards.

Nov. 7, 2009 | Morgantown, W.Va. West Virginia gained its seventh victory of the season and third in the BIG EAST with a 17-9 win over Louisville at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Both teams turned in solid defensive performances, and the Mountaineers held the Cardinals to just three field goals in claiming the victory.

After a scoreless first quarter, Louisville struck first at the 4:16 mark of the second quarter, when kicker Chris Philpott connected on a 37-yard field goal to cap a five-play, 48-yard drive.

West Virginia answered the score with just 0:36 left before the half, when quarterback Jarrett Brown hit receiver Jock Sanders from eight-yards away to end an impressive eight-play, 72-yard drive.

With West Virginia leading 7-3, Louisville returned the ensuing kickoff to its own 45, and used just four plays to get into field goal range. Philpott made good on a 44-yard attempt just before half to cut the Mountaineer lead to 7-6.

After holding the Cardinals on the opening possession of the second half, West Virginia struck again in the third quarter at the 10:32 mark, when Brown led the offense on a six-play, 56-yard drive that ended when true freshman Tavon Austin rushed in from nine-yards away, giving the Mountaineers a 14-6 advantage.

Nov. 13, 2009 | Cincinnati, Ohio No. 5/5 Cincinnati gained its first home victory ever over West Virginia with a 24-21 decision at Nippert Stadium.

The Mountaineers were undefeated in six previous trips to Cincinnati, but the Bearcats used a balanced offensive attack to score a second straight victory over West Virginia.

After holding the Mountaineers on downs to start the game, Cincinnati’s high-powered offense got the scoring started at the 9:56 mark of the first quarter, when receiver Armon Binns caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tony Pike to finish off a 73-yard drive.

West Virginia answered the score at the 3:19 mark, tying the game, when quarterback Jarrett Brown rushed in from eight-yards away. The scoring drive was set up when safety Sidney Glover recovered a Cincinnati fumble at the Bearcat 49-yard line. Glover’s fumble recovery marked Cincinnati’s first lost fumble of the season.

With the score knotted at 7-7, West Virginia took the lead at the 8:05 mark of the second quarter, when fullback Ryan Clarke powered through for a 37-yard touchdown run to cap off an impressive eight-play, 80-yard drive for the Mountaineers.

The Bearcats responded with 5:26 left in the half, when tailback Isaiah Pead dove over from the two-yard line to tie the score at 14-14. The play was first ruled by officials on the field as a fumble and recovered by West Virginia, but the replay official overturned the call and gave the questionable touchdown to Pead.

The score remained tied until the 11:07 mark of the third quarter, when the Bearcats regained the lead for good. Pike hit receiver DJ Woods for a six-yard scoring strike and a 21-14 lead.

Both teams battled back and forth for the rest of the third and most of the fourth quarter. The Bearcats struck again and extended their margin to 24-14 with just 2:08 left in the game, when kicker Jacob Rogers converted a 38-yard field goal.

However, West Virginia made the game interesting in the closing minute by driving 64 yards to score a touchdown, when Brown hit Brad Starks with a three-yard pass. Cincinnati then recovered the onsides kick to seal the victory.

Brown led the Mountaineer offense with 188 yards passing and 34 rushing.

His long pass completion of the game went for 24 yards to receiver Alric Arnett, and his long rush gained 23 yards. Tailback Noel Devine rushed for 88 yards, while Clarke had a career-best 60 yards rushing.

Starks caught five passes for 50 yards, while Jock Sanders hauled in four catches for 42 yards. Cornerback Brandon Hogan led the WVU defense with 11 tackles, including eight solo. Linebacker J.T. Thomas added seven tackles in the effort.

For Cincinnati, quarterback Zach Collaros passed for 205 yards, while Pike came back from injury to throw two touchdown passes.

Pead rushed for 175 yards, while Binns caught five passes for 62 yards and one touchdown. The Bearcat defense was led by linebacker Andre Revels with 13 stops.

Statistical totals showed West Virginia with 22 first downs in the game, 202 yards rushing and 188 passing for 390 yards of total offense. Cincinnati finished with 18 first downs, 216 yards rushing, 221 passing for 437 yards of total offense.

The win improved No. 5 ranked Cincinnati to 10-0 and 6-0 in the BIG EAST. Ranked at No. 23 coming into the game, West Virginia fell to 7-3 overall and 3-2 in the conference.

Nov. 27, 2009 | Morgantown, W.Va. Tyler Bitancurt’s 43-yard field goal as time expired gave West Virginia a 19-16 upset victory over No. 8/9 Pitt in the 102nd edition of the Backyard Brawl.

The redshirt freshman kicker was clutch all night, hitting four field goals, and he brought West Virginia fans down memory lane back to 1975, when Bill McKenzie’s field goal defeated the nationally ranked Panthers at old Mountaineer Field.

In fact, Bitancurt’s game-winning field goal was the first by a West Virginia kicker as time expired since McKenzie’s famous kick.

After a scoreless first quarter, Pitt broke through and got on the board at the 3:21 mark of the second quarter, when kicker Dan Hutchins hit for a 37-yard field goal.

West Virginia cornerback Keith Tandy intercepted a Bill Stull pass with 1:03 remaining, giving the Mountaineer offense the ball at the Pitt 40-yard line.

WVU answered the Pitt score several plays later, as Bitancurt converted from 20-yards away, sending the two teams into the locker room tied 3-3 at the half.

After stopping the Panthers on the opening possession of the second half, West Virginia embarked on a 10-play, 48-yard drive that would give the Mountaineers their first lead of the game. Highlighted by a 24-yard completion from quarterback Jarrett Brown to receiver Wes Lyons, the WVU offense moved into field goal range, and Bitancurt hit from 43-yards away, giving WVU a 6-3 advantage.

The lead was short lived as Pitt tied the game on the next possession, when Hutchins converted on a 30-yard field goal.

However, West Virginia quickly regained the lead on the first play of the ensuing drive when Devine broke loose for an 88-yard run to ignite the home fans, and give the Mountaineers a 13-6 lead, heading into the fourth quarter.

At the 9:56 mark of the final stanza, West Virginia upped its advantage to 16-6, when Bitancurt hit for a 39-yard field goal that was set up by a big 35-yard completion from Brown to receiver Alric Arnett.

But Pitt was far from done and scored on its next two possessions to tie the game. First Hutchins added a 36-yard field goal to pull the Panthers to 16-9 with 7:28 left. Then Stull hit receiver Jonathan Baldwin for a 50-yard touchdown strike that drew the Panthers even at 16-16 with just 2:48 left in the game.

Starting from its own 32-yard line, West Virginia’s offense gained a first down on a 10-yard rush by Brown, and another on an 11-yard completion to Arnett.

After a Brown scramble for nine yards, and a clutch one-yard carry on fourth down by fullback Ryan Clarke, which gained the first down by an inch, Bitancurt’s 43-yard field goal three rushing plays later ended the game, giving the victory to the Mountaineers.

Devine rushed for 134 yards, Brown passed for 164 and Arnett caught seven passes for 71 yards to pace the WVU offense. Tandy collected 10 tackles to lead the defense.

For Pitt offensively, tailback Dion Lewis finished with 155 yards rushing, Stull passed for 179 yards and Baldwin caught eight passes for 127 yards. The Panther defense was led by linebacker Adam Gunn with 11 tackles.

West Virginia finished with 205 yards rushing, 164 passing and 369 total yards.

Pitt’s final numbers stood at 146 rushing, 179 passing and 325 yards of total offense.

The West Virginia win broke a two-game losing streak to the Panthers, and gave the Mountaineers five victories in their last six tries against ranked opponents.

Dec. 5, 2009 | Piscataway, N.J. West Virginia jumped out to a 14-3 first quarter advantage and then held on to defeat Rutgers, 24-21, in a rainy, snowy, cold day at Rutgers Stadium.

The Mountaineer defense rose to the occasion all afternoon, holding the Scarlet Knights to just 65 yards rushing and 218 yards of total offense. Aside from a special teams score, Rutgers managed just 14 points on the WVU defense.

West Virginia’s offense started strong and took the game’s opening possession 86 yards in just five plays to take a 7-0 lead, when tailback Noel Devine rushed in from six-yards away.

Rutgers answered the score with a 38-yard field goal from San San Te with 9:28 left in the opening quarter.

However, West Virginia extended its lead to 14-3 with just 0:46 left, when fullback Ryan Clarke powered in from one-yard away. His touchdown finished off an impressive nine-play, 80-yard drive by the Mountaineer offense.

Both offenses stalled in the second quarter as the two defenses took control of the game, and the Mountaineers took 11-point advantage into the locker room at halftime.

Rutgers took the opening possession of the second half into West Virginia territory, but a Te missed field goal kept the score at 14-3, until safety Sidney Glover intercepted a Tom Savage pass and returned it 24 yards for a touchdown to give the Mountaineers a 21-3 advantage with 10:01 left in the third.

Rutgers nullified the score on the very next play when Joe Lefeged took the ensuing kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown. A Savage run converted the two-point try, and the Scarlet Knights found themselves down 21-11 with 9:48 left in the third.

Rutgers then closed the gap to 21-14 with just 0:27 left in the quarter by taking advantage of a Mountaineer fumble and converting a 27-yard Te field goal.

The Mountaineers benefitted from the running of Devine and Clarke to set up its final score of the game. With 8:44 left, kicker Tyler Bitancurt converted a clutch 41-yard field goal in the bad weather for a 24-14 WVU lead.

However, just as it had answered before, Rutgers struck back on the first play of its next drive when Savage found receiver Mohamed Sanu for a 62-yard touchdown strike to put the score at 24-21 with 8:31 left in the game.

With the lead down to three, the West Virginia defense responded by holding the Scarlet Knights to just three plays on its next possession. After a second Mountaineer fumble, the WVU defense came up big again, when linebacker J.T. Thomas intercepted Savage on fourth down to halt the possession late in the game.

From there it was up to the WVU offense to run out the clock, and it did so when quarterback Jarrett Brown stiffed armed his way for 12 yards on third-andsix play.

Devine finished with 65 yards rushing and Clarke added 58 yards on the ground. Brown passed for 116 yards, while Jock Sanders caught five passes for 62 yards. Linebacker Reed Williams led the defense with nine stops, including two sacks.

For Rutgers, Savage passed for 153 yards, while Sanu hauled in 105 yards in catches. Linebacker Damaso Munoz led the Scarlet Knight defense with 12 tackles.

Final totals showed West Virginia with 162 yards rushing, 116 passing and 278 yards of total offense.

The victory gave West Virginia a 15-game winning streak over Rutgers, and the Mountaineers finished the regular season with a 9-3 overall mark and a second-place BIG EAST finish at 5-2. Immediately after the game, West Virginia accepted a bid to play in the 2010 Konica Minolta Gator Bowl..

Florida State 33, No. 18/17 West Virginia 21 Jan. 1, 2010 | Jacksonville, Fla. In legendary coach Bobby Bowden’s historic last game with Florida State, West Virginia jumped out to a 14-3 first quarter lead, but could not hold on as the Seminoles bounced back to take a 33-21 victory in the 2010 Konica Minolta Gator Bowl.

Before a Gator Bowl record crowd of 84,129 at Jacksonville’s Municipal Stadium, West Virginia started strong behind the running of tailback Noel Devine, who finished with 168 yards on 16 carries. The Mountaineers took the game’s opening possession and marched 72 yards in eight plays to score first on quarterback Jarrett Brown’s 32-yard touchdown run.

Florida State answered with a 26-yard Dustin Hopkins field goal, before Devine broke loose for a 70-yard run to set up his one-yard plunge for a 14-3 Mountaineer advantage. Devine’s 70-yard scamper was the longest bowl rush in WVU history.

With FSU trailing 14-3 in the second quarter, the Seminoles’ Jamie Robinson intercepted Brown to ignite the FSU offense and turn the momentum squarely in favor of the Seminoles.

The interception led to FSU’s first touchdown of the game, when Jermaine Thomas rushed in from 12 yards, cutting the deficit to 14-10.

Late in the second quarter, Brown was sack and left the game with a sprained ankle and would not return. The Seminoles cut the WVU lead to 14-13 at the half when Hopkins added a 42-yard field goal in the final seconds.

The Seminoles took their first lead of the game at the 12:15 mark of the third quarter. A 69-yard kickoff return from Greg Reid on the opening kickoff of the second half led to Hopkins’ third field goal of the game and a 16-14 lead.

With true freshman Geno Smith in at quarterback, the Mountaineers marched to the FSU 16-yard line, but kicker Tyler Bitancurt’s missed field goal kept the score at 16-14 in favor of the Seminoles.

Later in the third quarter, Florida State pushed the advantage to 23-14 lead when Thomas rushed in from 19 yards, but the Mountaineers quickly answered the score to begin the fourth quarter.

Powered by a 34-yard run from Devine, the Mountaineers culminated a nineplay, 80-yard drive with a five yard rush by Ryan Clarke to pull within 23-21 early in the fourth.

But Florida State answered with a 12-play, 81-yard drive that took any momentum the Mountaineers had gained. Quarterback E.J. Manuel rushed in from two yards for a deciding touchdown.

The Seminoles added a fourth Hopkins field goal with 2:02 left in the game to close the scoring and capture the historic win for Bowden.

Aside from Devine’s strong day rushing, Smith passed for 92 yards in the relief role and safety Robert Sands was clearly the leader of the Mountaineer defense with 13 tackles and two TFL. Linebacker Reed Williams followed with 11 tackles and one TFL. For FSU, Thomas rushed for 121 yards and two scores, while Manuel added 70 yards rushing and 189 passing. Jarmon Fortson led all receivers with four catches for 73 yards. The Seminole defense was led by Dekoda Watson with five tackles, including two sacks and three TFL. Patrick Robinson and Nigel Bradham also contributed five tackles in the victory.

West Virginia’s final totals stood at 221 yards rushing and 107 passing for 328 yards of total offense. Florida State finished with 226 yards on the ground and 189 through the air for 415 yards of total offense.

The loss broke West Virginia’s four-game bowl winning streak, and the Mountaineers finished the 2009 season with a 9-4 record, ranked 25th in the Associated Press poll and 22nd in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll.

He went on to a long and prosperous NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons for 13 seasons. A four-time Pro Bowl pick in 1960, 1965, 1966 and 1967, Bosley is a member of the San Francisco 49ers all-time team. The 6-2, 240-lb., center retired in 1969.

He served as head coach at West Virginia University from 1970-75, compiling a record of 42-26 with two Peach Bowl appearances. The Birmingham, Ala., native graduated from Howard College (now Samford) in 1953 and began his coaching career as an assistant coach from 1954-55.

He moved on to South Georgia Junior as head coach between 195658, before returning to his alma mater as head coach from 1959-62, posting a 31-6 record. His first stint at Florida State came in 1963 when he coached the wide receivers. He came to Morgantown in 1966 as offensive coordinator under Jim Carlen, before becoming the head coach in 1970. He left Morgantown in 1976 to become the head coach at Florida State and compiled a 316-97-4 record for an overall career mark of 389129-4. He is the only coach in Division I-A football history to have enjoyed 14-straight 10-win seasons.

Major Claybourne Harris College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 2009 as a player A three-year starter at quarterback, the dynamic Major Harris became the first player in NCAA history to rush for more than 2,000 yards and pass for more than 5,000 yards in his career. As a freshman, Harris led the Mountaineers to the 1987 Sun Bowl. The following season, the quarterback led West Virginia to an undefeated season and a match-up with Notre Dame for the national championship in the 1988 Fiesta Bowl. He accounted for 20 touchdowns that season, while earning ECAC Player of the Year honors and finishing fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting.

Heisman Trophy voting. Drafted by the Los Angeles Raiders in the 1990 NFL Draft, Harris spent several seasons playing in the Canadian Football League, Arena Football League and other semi-pro leagues. In 1999, he was inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame.

Robert Lee “Sam” Huff Pro Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1982 as a player College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1980 as a player A name synonymous with West Virginia football, Robert Lee “Sam” Huff ranks among the all-time great NFL linebackers. At West Virginia, Huff was a 6-1, 230-lb. tackle before being drafted in the third round by the New York Giants in 1956. Shortly thereafter, the Farmington, W.Va., native became one of the greatest and most publicized linebackers in pro football history and the first defensive football player to make the cover of Time magazine. CBS produced a half-hour pro football documentary entitled “The Violent World of Sam Huff.” A fierce competitor and a great rival of Green Bay Packers linebacker Ray Nitsche, Huff earned Pro Bowl status five times, first as a Giant, and then as a Washington Redskin, where he finished his career in 1969. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982.

Alfred Earle “Greasy” Neale Pro Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1969 as a coach College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1967 as a coach A noted player and coach, “Greasy” Neale’s affiliation with West Virginia lasted three years as head football coach from 1931-34. Prior to his stay in Morgantown, Greasy (a nickname he had carried since childhood), was a three-sport standout at West Virginia Wesleyan before embarking on an eight-year major league baseball career with the Cincinnati Reds. While a baseball player, Neale also found time to play professional football in the fall. Upon his retirement as an athlete, Neale became a college coaching gypsy, guiding some of the nation’s finest football programs before taking the NFL Philadelphia Eagles coaching job in 1941. Introducing the “naked reverse”, man-to-man shifting defenses, the stutter series and a primitive form of the 4-3 defense during his pro football coaching tenure, Neale guided the Eagles to the 1949 NFL title. The Parkersburg native was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1967 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1969.

He died November 2, 1973, in Lake Worth, Fla.

Donald Eugene “Don” Nehlen College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 2005 as a coach The winningest coach in WVU history with a 14993-4 record, Don Nehlen served as Mountaineer head man from 1980-2000.

His resume included coaching stints in the Blue‑Gray, East‑West Shrine and Hula Bowl all‑star games, and he served as president of the 10,000‑member American Football Coaches Association in 1997.

Nehlen, a two‑time national coach of the year in 1988 and 1993, is a member of the Mid‑American Conference, Bowling Green, Gator Bowl, Chick-Fil-A Bowl and WVU Sports Halls of Fame. He also served as head coach of his alma mater, Bowling Green, from 1968-76, posting a 53-354 mark. The native of Canton, Ohio, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2005.

Ira Errett “Rat” Rodgers College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1953 as a player West Virginia’s preeminent all-around athlete, Ira Errett “Rat” Rodgers gained fame as a hard-charging fullback from 1917-19. Called one of “the finest football players in the land” by syndicated columnist Grantland Rice, Rodgers is unanimously considered West Virginia’s finest pre-World War II football player. A consensus All-American in 1919, Rodgers gained national notoriety after a 25-0 whipping of Princeton, against which he passed for 162 yards and two touchdowns. For the season Rodgers accounted for 147 points. Later an amateur state golf champion, the Bethany, W.Va., native remained at West Virginia as football (1920-25, 1943-45), baseball (1921-42) and golf coach (1949). Rodgers was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1953. He died February 22, 1963, in Morgantown.

Floyd Ben Schwartzwalder College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1982 as a coach A two-sport letterman at West Virginia in football and wrestling from 1930-32, he achieved great success as a head coach on the prep and collegiate level. He coached high school football for six seasons in West Virginia and Ohio, winning two state championships at Parkersburg (W.Va.), prior to enlisting in the U.S. Army during World War II. Following his discharge, he was the head coach at Muhlenberg (N.J.) College from 1946-48, compiling a 25-5 record.

He left there to become head coach at Syracuse, serving as head man there from 1949-73. His teams were an impressive 153-91-3, went to seven bowls, winning the national championship in 1959, and captured four Lambert Trophies (1952, 1956, 1959 and 1966). He was National Coach of the Year in 1959 and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1982. He died in 1993 at age 83.

Clarence Wiley “Doc” Spears College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1955 as a coach

(East-West) in 1922, produced its first unbeaten team (also 1922), defeated Pitt, 9-6 that 1922 season (considered among the greatest wins in school history) and helped build a football stadium. A cordial and delightful man off the field, Spears was the opposite on it, evoking confrontations with sportswriters, alumni and fans alike. After his brief tenure in Morgantown where he also doubled as a practicing medical doctor, thus earning the nickname “Doc,” Spears also coached at Minnesota and Oregon among others, until retiring in 1935 to devote his full time to medicine, practicing in Ypsilanti, Mich. Spears was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955. He died February 1, 1964, in Jupiter, Fla.

Joseph Lee “Jumbo Joe” Stydahar Pro Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1967 as a player College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1956 as a player A brilliant, but under-recognized two-sport athlete at West Virginia until his graduation in 1936, “Jumbo Joe” Stydahar lost that distinction after surprisingly being the first player taken by the Chicago Bears in the 1936 NFL draft -- the first player ever selected by the organization. Born in Kaylor, Pa., and later a standout at Shinnston High (W.Va.), Stydahar was a giant of a man (6-4, 245-lbs.) who became a perennial NFL all-star at tackle. A sixty-minute performer with the “Monsters of the Midway,” Stydahar played without a helmet, one of the last performers to do so.

He participated on three NFL championship teams with the Bears and was named to the official all-NFL team from 1937-40. He sandwiched a two-year stint in the Navy (1943-44) in the middle of his pro career, which finished in 1946. Following his playing career, Stydahar coached the 1951 Los Angeles Rams to the NFL championship, the organization’s first and only title. Stydahar was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1956 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967. He died March 23, 1977, in Beckley, W.Va.

Fielding Harris “Hurry Up” Yost College Football Hall of Fame Inducted: 1951 as a coach Always in a hurry, thus the nickname “Hurry Up,” Fielding Harris Yost gained national acclaim as a college football coach at Michigan at the turn of the century. Yost’s travels included a stop at West Virginia, where he earned a law degree and played football in 1895-96. After his two years at WVU, the Fairview, W.Va., native took the Michigan coaching job at age 30 in 1900. Four years later, he showed his appreciation for his alma mater at West Virginia by beating the Mountaineers 130-0, a score that didn’t endear him to the West Virginia faithful. That 1904 Michigan squad was called the “PointA-Minute” team. Later the athletic director at Michigan, he was singularly instrumental in building the nation’s largest football stadium at Michigan.

He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951. He died August 20, 1946, in Ann Arbor, Mich.

A coach at West Virginia from 1921-24, Clarence “Doc” Spears was responsible for developing West Virginia’s great football fortunes of the early 1920s. During his coaching tenure in Morgantown, the school played in its first bowl game

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSIT Y

GENERAL INFORMATION

JAMES P. Clements President

J

ames P. Clements has said that no university in the country means as much to its state as West Virginia University means to West Virginia. Since becoming WVU’s 23rd president on June 30, 2009, Dr. Clements has shown a strong dedication to expanding the University’s role as a 21st century land-grant institution, providing superior academic programs, expanding a wellness initiative for students, technologically advancing research for use around the globe and strengthening service and health-care initiatives for the community.

Dr. Clements has already announced several initiatives in support of this commitment, including: adding100 new faculty members to achieve goals directly related to WVU’s mission; building a new student health facility to increase wellness efforts; dedicating capital funds to expand outdoor recreational space for students; creating a grants budget office to assist researchers; and increasing research to strengthen the University’s position as a leader in fields such as energy, biometrics and health sciences.

Additional priorities have been to continue offering world-class health care and – through WVU’s Top-10 ranked Rural Health Program – remain committed to increasing state outreach in the health sciences. Other goals include finding more efficient and effective ways to use technology to drive progress, increasing the diversity of WVU’s learning community and developing an even broader global focus in preparing students for new international opportunities.

He also plans to focus on increasing student retention, increasing WVU’s doctoral program enrollment, enhancing leadership development and increasing operating funds.

In 2009-10, private giving to the University increased, external and competitive funding for research grew, and student applications increased, keeping enrollment strong. A major strategic planning process was launched, several new facilities opened and ground was broken on a project to house WVU’s nationally acclaimed Physics Program.

Recently, Dr. Clements was appointed to the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Commission on Women in Higher Education and was appointed to serve as the Outreach Liaison for the Association of Public and LandGrant Universities (APLU), representing the Mid-Atlantic Region.

Dr. Clements’ previous experience in higher education demonstrates his ability to

204

help achieve these objectives and guide WVU to continued stability, growth and prominence.

Before joining the Mountaineer family, Dr. Clements served as provost and vice president at Towson University, the second-largest public university in Maryland. Under his leadership, Towson developed academic and student support programs that led to impressive increases in enrollment as well as retention and graduation rates. Towson’s externally-funded research increased by 36 percent during Dr. Clements’ tenure as provost.

Prior to becoming provost, he served as Towson University’s vice president for economic and community outreach and as the Robert W. Deutsch Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences. He was a four-time recipient of Towson’s Faculty Member of the Year Award given by students at the university.

With a background in computer science, Dr. Clements also brings technological savvy to his role as president. He has a B.S. in computer science and an M.S. and Ph.D. in operations analysis from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), as well as an M.S. in computer science from Johns Hopkins University. His project management textbook, in its fourth edition, is used in more than 20 countries and is published in four languages.

At WVU, Dr. Clements is a tenured professor in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources’ Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.

In October 2009, he was named UMBC’s Alumnus of the Year in the Engineering and Information Technology category.

Dr. Clements chairs the boards of the WVU Research Corporation, the West Virginia United Health System, and the WVU Hospitals.

He also serves as an ex-officio member of the WVU Foundation and WVU Alumni Association boards.

He is married to Beth Clements, and they have four children – Tyler, twin daughters Hannah and Maggie, and Grace.

O

liver Luck is the right man at the right time for West Virginia University. President James P. Clements appointed the former Mountaineer quarterback Director of Athletics on June 9, 2010, making him the 11th person to hold that title at WVU.

“Oliver Luck is someone who has succeeded at the highest levels at everything he has done – from his college and professional football playing days to his academic pursuits and his professional business career,” said Clements. “He is the clear choice to carry forward what has truly been a golden era in athletics.”

“It’s an incredible honor for me to be appointed as athletic director at my alma mater,” said Luck. “I care deeply about this school. I’ve had an opportunity to serve on the Board of Governors the last couple of years, and it’s given me a tremendous viewpoint of how important intercollegiate athletics is at a land-grant institution like WVU.

“WVU is truly one of the outstanding land-grant universities in the country, and I am so pleased to be a part of its momentum and growth. This is a tremendous opportunity - a chance to return to a University and a state that I love at a dynamic and strategic time in its history.”

Luck’s athletic and professional career has been the epitome of success, first as a record-setting quarterback for the Mountaineers from 1978-81, then as a professional quarterback for the Houston Oilers, and later as a professional sports executive.

Luck’s journey to the big chair at WVU began in his native Cleveland, where in 1977 he was named the Cleveland Touchdown Club Player of the Year at St. Ignatius High. Luck chose WVU over Ivy League schools Harvard and Yale, embarking upon a career that saw him establish school records for touchdown passes and completions during his playing days, while also leading the Mountaineers to a 26-6 upset victory over Florida in the 1981 Peach Bowl.

His best season came as a senior in 1981 when he completed 216 of 394 passes for 2,448 yards and 16 touchdowns. He passed for a career-high 360 yards in a 27-24 loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome in the final regular-season game of his career.

Luck ended his college career with 5,765 yards and 43 touchdown passes, both figures still ranking among the best in school history. Luck was a two-time team MVP in 1980 and 1981, and also received the Louis D. Meisel Award for the WVU football student-athlete with the high-

est grade point average. The two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American was the recipient of Today’s Top Five, presented for scholastics by the NCAA and was selected by the National Football Foundation as one of its 10 scholar-athletes to make a keynote speech at its annual banquet in 1982.

Selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Houston Oilers (44th overall pick), Luck spent four years with the Oilers from 1982-86. His most extended action came in 1983 when he started six games and finished the season completing 124-of-217 passes for 1,375 yards and eight touchdowns.

After retiring from football, Luck became vice president of business development for the National Football League and later was appointed general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the newly created World League of American Football. He spent the ’95 season as general manager of the Rhein Fire before being named President and CEO of NFL Europe in 1996. Luck totaled more than 10 years with the National Football League before becoming chief executive officer of the Harris CountyHouston Sports Authority in 2001.

In that role, Luck oversaw the development and management of a $1 billion professional sports and entertainment complex for the city of Houston that included Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets, Comets and Aeros and the Livestock Show and Rodeo.

In 2005, Luck was appointed as the first president of Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamos, helping that organization to a pair of MLS Cup titles in his first two years at the helm.

Luck was in the midst of securing the funding for an $80 million soccer complex to house the Dynamos when the call came to return to his alma mater.

Prior to his current position at WVU, Luck was appointed

by Gov. Joe Manchin in 2008 to a four-year term on the West Virginia University Board of Governors, a spot he

MOUNTAINEER FOOTBALL

relinquished in June 2010, to become director of athletics.

The Rhodes Scholar finalist graduated from WVU magna cum laude in 1982 as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He also earned a law degree from the University of Texas, graduating cum laude in 1987. In 1997, Luck was inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame, and in 2008, he was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame.

He is married to the former Kathy Wilson.

They have two sons and two daughters: Andrew, the starting quarterback and a Heisman Trophy candidate at Stanford; Mary Ellen, an incoming freshman volleyball player at Stanford; Emily and Addison.

MEDIA information Following are some guidelines for covering the 2010 Mountaineers.

Credentials: All requests for working press, photo and broadcast credentials to cover West Virginia’s home football games must be made in writing on company letterhead at least two weeks prior to the game. Requests the week of the game will be honored only if space permits and will not be mailed; those credentials will be left at the “Will Call” window at the North ticket booth.

Due to the demand for working credentials, media regularly assigned to cover WVU and the visiting school will receive priority.

All photographers must work outside the 30-yard lines as prescribed by the NCAA; they are not permitted in the bench area.

Photographers must sign in for a field access credential in the press box prior to each game.

No children (age 16 and under) are allowed on the sidelines for any reason; any children on the sidelines will be ejected, along with their guardians, from the stadium. Any abuse of a working credential to West Virginia football games can result in the media agency losing credential privileges for the remainder of 2010 and possibly the entire 2011 home season.

After The Game: Coach Bill Stewart will conduct a postgame news conference in the press room adjacent to the WVU locker room; Stewart’s press conference is also heard over the press box PA. Requested WVU players will also be available. No media will be granted access to the West Virginia locker room.

During The Week: Coach Bill Stewart will meet with the media each Tuesday afternoon in the Team Room at Mountaineer Field. He will be available on the BIG EAST weekly conference call each Monday at 11:30 a.m., and will also wrap up the previous week’s game on Sunday afternoons in a conference call; contact the WVU sports communications office for information.

Mountaineer players will be available for interviews each Monday during the dinner hour; Monday during dinner is also the best time for players to return calls to out-of-town media. They will also be available to return phone calls on Tuesday and Wednesday as class and practice schedules permit. Any special arrangements for player interviews should be made through director of football communications Mike Montoro at least a day in advance. Players will not be asked to miss class or study hall for interviews and at no time will a player’s home number be given to the press.

No player interviews will be conducted during practice sessions. The practice and interview schedule for preseason camp and game weeks will be announced in August.
