WVU set record for all bowls for points in a half. The 49 points were four better than the 45 scored by Colorado against Boston College in the 1999 Insight.com Bowl. The Mountaineers alone set the Orange Bowl record for points in a half. In 2005, USC and Oklahoma combined for 48 points in the first half. Wednesday's game beat that by 21 points.
Congrats to WVU for winning the Orange Bowl!
The Big 12 gets West Virginia next season.
The new WVU coach was the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State last year. He has a reputation as an offensive genius.
I like to see West Virginia play Baylor. Winner could play winner of BCS Championship game. Having a college football playoff system is way overdue.
What the heck happened to the defenses during these bowl games?
Further proof that the right two teams are playing for the Title.
WVU definately kicked a$$ and took names last night, but I have to admit it was pretty bush league to still have the entire starting offense on the field and still be passing the ball with 6 minutes left and a 63-26 lead.
And this was with Clemson having a home-team crowd. There were were people sneering West Virginia didn’t even belong.
Weird.
Having been born in W by gawd, always have been and will be a fan. It was a game I wish my father was alive to see.
However the QB deciding not to go pro is a wise move. In fact I highly recommend he get a degree and coach or teach. He is not going to be an impact player in the NFL and probably not a starter. Canada? Don’t know.
