Mountaineers aiming to derail Oklahoma State’s Chuba choo-choo

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Mike Gundy’s taste in hairstyle may be questionable, but his first-hand knowledge of great running backs is unparalleled.

As Oklahoma State’s quarterback in the 1980s, Gundy was paired with perhaps the most talented backfield tandem in college football history — Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders, both of whom are Pro Football Hall of Famers.

So when Gundy talks up Cowboys sophomore running back Chuba Hubbard, it would be foolish not to take him at his word.

“I don’t think there’s any question he’ll go down as one of the best ever,” Gundy said.
