Gave us a chance to win it

I agree their tempo was slow. Now the game stats will show we were very lucky to win.
Total Yards WVU 546 / U of H 393; Pass yards WVU 391 / U of H 293 (how many on last play of game 40+ or so), Rush Yards WVU 155 / U of H 140; 3rd down conversions WVU 13-19 / U of h 3-9 (problematic); TOP WVU 36.46 / U of H 23.14 (this is ugly).
At the end of the day the one stat that is in charge is U of H 41 WVU 39 = W.
Edit. Last play for TD was over 50 yards. So we had 243 before the game winner. Not so good.

Surely more unhappy fans can add to the list of awful aspects of the game. Iâm just guessing the players enjoyed the winâŠ
I genuinely felt great for the kids.
Stats donât always tell the true story. I remember hearing âwe won the battle of statisticsâ more often than I ever wanted to.
That said, this was A FOOTBALL GAME . . . . . It was fun, it was exciting and it kept most everyone on the edge of their seats. That is what a good competition is all about. In contrast, I attended a small school FB game earlier this evening. Home team received the opening kickoff and scores in several plays. Kicked off with an onside kick, recovered and scored within about 6 plays. Kicked off onside again and recovered a fumble. Scored in 4 plays. Score is now 19 - 0 and the opposition has yet to snap the ball. Ended up 52 - 0 and it was BORING . . . . . Thank the good Lord for providing all of us an extremely exciting evening of competition, and for sending (I know, it was just a few) unsavory fans home with their tales tucked between their legs . . . . .

I think a lot of people, me included said they were happy the kids got the win.
