WVU football gets the job done against Delaware State

The Mountaineers ended up with a 59-16 rout of visiting Delaware State on Saturday, but a sluggish start and a woeful defensive performance left the WVU football team a little shaky.

In the end, the Mountaineers did what was needed to earn their second victory of the season. With the win, the WVU football team improved to 2-1, while the Hornets fell to 0-3.

The win was pioneered again by talented quarterback Will Grier. The transfer from Florida was sharp throughout the day and was awarded with an extended break in the second half. Grier completed 19 of 27 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns.
