The Third Ranked WVU Mountaineer football team took a trip down south tho Huntington to take on the Thundering Herd from Marshall. It was a hard fought game for the first half, Marshall had held our high powered offense in check and went into halftime leading 13-6.
However depth and quality players are a trademark of this team and the Mountaineers put on a big second half effort and managed to walk away with a 48-23 win in front of what was the largest crowd to ever see a football game in Huntington.
Patrick White and Steve Slaton, West Virginia's two Heisman trophy contenders took complete control of the game in the second half. Our offense dominated the second half of the game, after a pretty dismal showing in the first half. 
Freshman sensation Noel Devine entered the game in the second half to give Steve Slaton a rest and give the Marshall defense a lot of headaches. He rushed for 76 yards on 5 carries with two touchdowns. I Blogged about Noel this February when he initially gave the mountaineers a verbal commitment. WVU football is in good hands. I thought this last picture was funny, Noel is 5'8" and Wes Lyons is a 6'8" Wide receiver that we haven;t really unleashed on everyone yet.
