WVU Football HC Rich Rodriguez Reveals Future Offensive Plans For Curtis Jones Jr.

WVU football managed to move to 4-6 overall and establish a two-game winning streak last Saturday against the Colorado Buffaloes, and one of the big storylines coming out of the victory for the Mountaineers was the offensive debut of sophomore bandit Curtis Jones Jr.

Jones, a Huntington, W.Va native and former all-state running back at the high school level, got called upon to add some depth at his old position, despite being recruited as a defensive player and spending his first two seasons on the roster in Morgantown on the defensive side of the ball. He made the most of that opportunity, scoring a touchdown on his first collegiate carry and finishing the game with three rushes for 11 yards and two touchdowns.
