MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Sophomore defensive end Taijh Alston’s season is done after only two games for West Virginia.
Coach Neal Brown announced that Alston underwent surgery for a torn patellar tendon on Monday.
Alston was injured on a block in the back against Missouri. His knee buckled when his weight shifted after he was blindsided by a Tigers offensive lineman while pursuing quarterback Kelly Bryant. No penalty was called on the play.
“It’s unfortunate for him,” Brown said. “The block on him was fine, I wouldn’t deem it a dirty play by any means.
