On this episode of “Three Guys Before The Game,” the guys dissect the AutoZone Liberty Bowl win and what it means to the West Virginia football program now and in the future. Quarterback Austin Kendall successfully led two touchdown drives, while WVU’s defense held Army’s vaunted running game to 100-yards below its season average.

With just one game remaining in the college football season, West Virginia will likely finish in the top five in the FBS in total defense. The Mountaineers are currently fourth in the nation, allowing 291.4 yards per game.

West Virginia came back from a double-digit second half deficit to beat the Army Black Knights, 24-21, in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee, on New Year’s Eve.
