The West Virginia Mountaineers entered the game with 84 scholarship players and left the game with 85 as former Martinsburg wide receiver Hudson Clement hauled in 5 passes for 177 yards and 3 touchdowns in his first action of the season. Clement, a walk-on, shined brightest early and often. Before the lightning delay, Clement had 2 catches, one for his first collegiate touchdown, and about 50 yards. After the lightning delay, he did this -
- 70 yard catch for a touchdown
- 8 yard catch
- 46 yard catch for a touchdown
Clement became just the second player during the Neal Brown era to have 120 yards and 2 touchdowns in a game, matching Bryce Ford-Wheaton, who had 150 yards, 2 touchdowns against Kansas last year.
