Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium Hosts West Virginia Mountaineers and Horned Frogs Football Showdown
The West Virginia Mountaineers dominated the Horned Frogs with a decisive 47-10 victory. The home team's record improved significantly, while the visiting team's performance left much to be desired. The Mountaineers' offense was particularly effective, amassing a total of 535 yards over the course of the game.
The Mountaineers showcased an impressive offensive display against the Horned Frogs, with their passing game contributing significantly to their success. The quarterback threw for 371 yards and three touchdowns, completing 26 out of 41 attempts. One pass even went for an impressive distance of 53 yards. On the ground, they were just as formidable, rushing for a total of 164 yards and scoring three additional touchdowns; one rush broke free for a notable gain of 33 yards.
West Virginia's defense was equally up to task, recording four sacks and forcing two fumbles during the game – both fumbles were recovered by them. They also scored on a safety, adding two points to their already substantial lead. Special teams played their part as well; they successfully converted all six extra-point attempts and made good on their only field goal attempt from an impressive distance of 47 yards.
In contrast, TCU struggled throughout the contest. Their offense could only muster ten points against a stout West Virginia defense that seemed impenetrable at times. The Horned Frogs' efforts were further hampered by limited success in converting third downs – achieving just three conversions out of twelve attempts.
