West Virginia (5-6, 3-5 Big 12) is one win away from punching their ticket to a late December bowl game, after holding off the Texas Longhorns (4-7, 2-6 Big 12) on Saturday in Morgantown.
Jarret Doege and the Mountaineers gained the upper hand early, finishing off a 75-yard opening drive with a 20-yard touchdown pass to put WVU up 7-0.
Both teams struggled to get anything going on the next five drives, until Doege was able to strike again with a 14-yard touchdown completion to Winston Wright to extend the lead to 14-0 in the opening minutes of the second quarter.
