Alas, the drive for number one has come to an end. Pittsburgh has delivered a stunning victory over the Mountaineers. This is why this is the Backyard Brawl.
Biggest Backyard Brawl of the series

All down to 1 Dec 2007 game against Pittsburgh. While the Panthers are not ranked, the game is always a rough match.
Phew! WVU over Louisville
November 9, 2007
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Pat White scored on a 50-yard run with 1:36 remaining to lift No. 6 West Virginia to a 38-31 victory over Louisville on Thursday night.

WVU moves to a 3-0 record with a win over Maryland. While Pat White looked a bit indecisive at first, the team pulled it together in the second half. That seems to be a tradition for the Mountaineers. Rushing stats –
Steve Slaton: 137 yards.
(Freshman) Noel Devine: 136 yards.
‘Nuf said.
WVU: 2-0

Second-half effort helps WVU pull away from state rival
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — It took nearly a century for West Virginia to return to Marshall and the Mountaineers’ high-powered offense showed up late.
No matter, Pat White and Steve Slaton only needed one good half to run away from Marshall.
White, Slaton and newcomer Noel Devine kicked it into gear after intermission, leading West Virginia to six second-half touchdowns in a 48-23 victory over Marshall on Saturday.
Held to three first downs and 118 total yards in the opening half, heavy favorite West Virginia (2-0) scored on its first three possessions of the third quarter and handed Marshall its worst home loss since Joan C. Edwards Stadium opened in 1991.
In other news, Michigan loses to Oregon 39 to 7. Let me say that again: thirty nine to seven.
Crimson shocker: Rutgers beats Louisville
November 10, 2006
Rutgers stuns Louisville with a 28-25 victory, leaving them the only Big East team undefeated. This now means the Scarlet Knights lead the Big East, and have the priority on any bowl games. I’m mixed on this – any Big East team going to a bowl game and looking strong helps the conference. On the other hand, I’d love to see the Mountaineers play again and deliver another drumming to, say, an SEC team.
WVU: #3
October 30, 2006
With the loss of USC this weekend, WVU has moved to #3 in the AP and BCS rankings. Louisville is #5. Don’t even think about bothering me this Thursday (2 Nov) when the two meet.
Yes, I know, it’s the Big East, the conference that amounts to nothing. Oh, did I mention Rutgers is #15?
No. 5 West Virginia 42, Marshall 10
September 3, 2006
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) – Steve Slaton’s sophomore season started the same way he ended last year – with a big performance.
Slaton ran for 203 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead No. 5 West Virginia past Marshall 42-10 on Saturday.
Slaton, the nation’s top freshman in 2005 with 19 rushing TDs, had his second straight 200-yard game. He set a Sugar Bowl record with a career-high 204 yards in a win over Georgia in January.
