Notebook: Holgorsen labels Rushel Shell a game-time decision

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia running back Rushel Shell could be a game-time decision at Texas, said coach Dana Holgorsen, adding “we’ll see how he practices” on an injured ankle.

Despite Shell’s absence from a 48-21 romp over Kansas, the Mountaineers ran for a season-high 341 yards utilizing Justin Crawford (129 yards on 13 carries) and Kennedy McKoy (127 yards on 18 carries).

“Where (the Longhorns) hand it to one guy 35 times a game, we hand it to three guys 35 or 40 times a game,” Holgorsen said. “Whichever guy feels good back there, that’s who we’re going to hand it to.
