MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia is accustomed to scoring
in bunches. What stood out after the season opener was an effort
unseen from its defense in quite some time.

The Mountaineers earned their first home shutout win in 13 years
Saturday, giving up just 186 yards in a 31-0 victory over Coastal
Carolina.

The Mountaineers returned nine starters on defense this season,
so the result against an FCS opponent wasn't too surprising.
Coastal Carolina quarterback Zach MacDowall hurried many of his
passes and often threw to spots where there was no receiver.

The pursuit to the ball also showed on running downs. Eight
different Coastal Carolina players combined for just 63 rushing
yards. Safety Terence Garvin, a new starter, had 10 tackles to
match his total for all of last season.
