It wasn’t pretty, but the West Virginia Mountaineers pulled out a 29-22 win over the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday, starting their first winning streak of the season and keeping their postseason hopes alive. Here are some initial takeaways from the win.
Scotty Fox Jr. Still Working Out Kinks, But Shows Impressive Resilience
There was a point in the third quarter after Fox had thrown consecutive interceptions, and was tasked with going back out with just a three-point lead and making sure the Mountaineers kept it. It’s just the type of situation where you’d expect a true freshman to falter or crumble under pressure, but Fox kept his composure and led WVU on a scoring drive to extend his squad’s lead once more – and he was critical in converting a run a fourth-down to keep the drive alive.
