WVU vs. Bowing Green today was completely one-sided for all of the first half. WVU forced 4 turnovers, 3 interceptions 1 fumble, and scored 17 points off of those turnovers. At first it looked like Bowling Green was going to make a game out of this until, I think, they angered the Mountaineers and they just went off on them. When the game first kicked off and the Mountaineers could only get a field goal out of it made me, and I'm sure the rest of the Mountaineer faithful a bit worried. Then on the next kickoff Bowling Green took it back to WVU's 18 yard line, where it only took them one play to score a touchdown. After that forced a punt from WVU and drove down to get a field goal to make the score 10-3 in favor of Bowling Green. Since then WVU's defense wasn't going to allow that to happen again, stopping Bowling Green's offense with the 4 interceptions. WVU scored the next 17 unanswered points off of 3 of those turnover's, the 4th coming at the end of the 2nd quarter. WVU went into the half with the lead 38-10, with the offense and defense playing the way they are this spelled great things to come for the second half. However, it looked like the 2nd half would start the same way that the first half did, with a fumble, but after the officials review the knee was down and WVU kept the ball. I think that they saw something on the scouting report with Bowling Green's defense, with the running game, because the Mountaineers came out running and really never stopped the entire game. This was the most touches that the running backs for WVU have gotten so far this season, and it went well for them, running all over the Hawks defense. On the first drive of the game WVU drove down the field to score, on the ground for Garrison's 2nd rushing TD of the game. He also has rushed for 250 yards this game, and is a freshman, which if I'm not mistaken is a record for a freshman running back. Geno Smith in the first half was 14-25 with 212 yards passing and 3 TD's, so I think it's safe to say that the offense is clicking for the Mountaineers. The Mountaineers had 640+ yards of offense in this game alone, to win big in this game 55-10. The next coming games on WVU's schedule should be easy wins up until they get to the biggest game of the year, PITT. This game always brings excitement and you never know how it will turn out. I can't wait to see how the rest of the season goes for the Mountaineers.
