The Mountaineers are about to put some holes in the Knights armor, and where there ain't any holes, it'll be full of dents...

Go 'eers!

Almost time for the kickoff. Everybody got your beers chilled? The wife's got her Yeungling in hand...

just turned on gameday right now.

Go Rutgers haha... Stutters I meant to say to go "Eers. Hoping for a good game.

Will Rutgers outscore Marshall? The Herd only got 3 against WVU...

The anwer to that question is yes. And honestly it looks like your defense found its grove after replacing alot of starters from last year.

Maybe, maybe not. I wonder how much of the defense's return was due to Reed Williams. If so, they may have some problems. We'll find out shortly...

Nice return to start the game, unless it turns out there was a fumble...

Ah well...

Terrible call on the kick off... Call on the field fumble... Rutgers ball... I hope its challenged.

They reversed the call...

play reversed WVU ball... heading to eat lunch will be back.

Nice catch by Lyons. If he catches the ball with his hands like that, he'll be in the starting lineup very soon. They need a big target in the red zone, to keep defenses honest for the running option...

He may get more play sooner than he thought if Arnett isn't going to be able to go for a bit. He looked like his shoulder was bugging him after that hit...

Rutgers has no rushing attack this year. Teel on a mad scramble, trying to keep from getting crushed, seems to be their best running option...

Well, let's see what the Mountaineers can do on their 2nd possession. I hope no more shots to the foot...

OUCH!!!

Almost gave up a home run, but Teel couldn't make the pass. Twice even...

No more time to throw. Time to punt instead...

Nice return by Lankster. He almost broke that one, and WVU has the ball in good field position...

BINGO!!! That's how you git 'er done. Nice pass to Urban for a 7-0 WVU lead...

Time for the D to stand again...

The longest run of the day by a Rutgers RB... 3 yards

I spoke too soon. Now they break a long run. Caught the Mountaineers in a pass rush and got by the line...

The WR got JACKED!!! And so did the RB

Time for Rutgers to punt...

Nice tackle on the (non-existant) return. WVU starts deep in their territory, but Pat White gets 'em plenty of room...

After a pitch and catch nets nothing, a WVU OL pushes a Rutgers DL right into Devine for no gain...

Pat White's over 4000 yards rushing in his career, but the Mountaineers have to punt again...

END OF 1st QUARTER - - 7-0 WVU

WVU scores first in the 2nd as well. 42 yard FG by McAfee gives the Mountaineers a 10-0 lead over Rutgers.

Feeling the dents yet, boys?

Ah well... since nobody else is around, I'm giving up on the play by play. The plums I ate ruined that anyway...

I will say that was a nice red zone stop to hold Rutgers to a FG... 10-3 WVU

This contest has been evenly matched for the most part as far as statistics and drives are concerned. West Virginia's defense indeed came up big on that last series. I have to duck out at halftime and go to a MAC game (in Ohio on business the last few days) when I would rather just sit back and watch as many games as possible on television. Oh well. Homecomings are always fun so I will make the best of it.

You an alum from there? My father went to Ohio U, and I was born in Athens. It wasn't too long after Alexander Zane went through the area, I think...

17-3 WVU, by the way. Sanders did a nice dance into the end zone after catching the short pass...

Scratch that evenly-matched comment. West Virginia just put together the kind of offensive series people usually expect from them. Mountaineers up 17-3 now and maybe I won't be missing much after all. And actually, Bitcruncher, I'm going to Bowling Green's homecoming game against Eastern Michigan. One of my summer interns goes to school here and asked me to go to the game when I e-mailed him saying I would be in the area.

How do you like that TD in less than 30 secs

Oh, I don't know. Rutgers answers on Teel's QB draw... 17-10 WVU

Touchdown Rutgers. The see-saw pace continues and we have a 17-10 halftime score. One other thing, Bitcruncher. He says his last two choices were Bowling Green and Ohio.

Jock Sanders run after the catch was great. Good TD for the Eers.
