This is part of a new series of articles looking back at the last time WVU faced off against this season’s opponents. For Big XII opponents, we’ll look back at particularly memorable games so you don’t just get a recap of last season. This week, we throw it way back for Texas.
WVU 7, Texas 6
Location: Austin, TX
Date: October 6, 1956
Though cross-country road trips are now a regular feature of WVU’s schedule, the 1956 road trip to Austin was furthest WVU had traveled in the regular season since 1950, when the Mountaineers ventured to El Paso in route to a 7-48 loss to UTEP.
