West Virginia bounced back from their season opening loss to Penn State with an emphatic 56-17 victory over Duquesne. After a one hour and 54 minute delay due to lightning, the Mountaineers came roaring back with an impressive offensive display, both rushing and passing over 300 yards for the sixth time in school history and the second time under Neal Brown.

The game’s early action saw Duquesne capitalize on a special teams mistake when a punt deflected off of Jacoby Spells’ foot, leading to a Duquesne touchdown.
