Football is back in Morgantown! The Mountaineers took on the Missouri Tigers in the first game of the season with plenty of questions to answer on both sides of the field. After winning 26-11 some questions were answered while others still remain.
West Virginia got on the board first following an 11 play, 60 yard drive behind a 19-yard field goal by "temporary" kicker Mike Molina. Following the third Missouri punt of the day, Rushel Shell scored the first touchdown of the season on a 23-yard rumble.
