MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Noel Devine rushed for a career-high
188 yards and a touchdown, leading West Virginia to a 17-6 win over
Syracuse on Saturday.

West Virginia struggled without quarterback Pat White, who
hadn't recovered from a head injury sustained against Rutgers a
week earlier. It marked the fewest points for West Virginia (4-2,
2-0 Big East) in a win since a 15-7 victory over Syracuse in 2005.

Backup Jarrett Brown threw a 12-yard TD pass to Jock Sanders in
the second quarter, Devine scored on a 92-yard run in the fourth
and the Mountaineers kept Syracuse (1-5, 0-2) out of the end zone
for the first time this season.

Syracuse's Curtis Brinkley ran for 144 yards and Morgantown
native Patrick Shadle kicked two field goals, including a
career-best 53-yarder.

i think we did good with a young team we even did not have white in there we still won so it doesntr mean it is all white it the whole team . what needs to be done is put in Noel Devine as quarterback and not brown.white is a good player but he is a cry baby and will not make it in pros. Noel Devine is the player to watch now that is a awsome player and he makes a awsome quarterback.
