West Virginia 20-17 win keeps TCU from getting bowl eligible

FORT WORTH, Texas -- West Virginia quarterback Jarret Doege threw the ball and then took a big hit. When he got up and looked down the field, he saw the official with his hands in the air signaling a touchdown. "I had no idea what happened," Doege said. "Just in my head. I'm thinking, `No way, no way. Like, how did that just happen?' I was kind of in shock." So was TCU. Isaiah Esdale made an over-the-shoulder catch on a perfect pass for a 35-yard touchdown with 2:10 left, just getting his feet inside the pylon on the front corner of the end zone, and West Virginia ended coach Neal Brown's first season with a 20-17 win on Friday that kept the Horned Frogs from getting bowl eligible. "Huge win to finish the year," Brown said. "It's been a long year, but our guys battled." The game-winning drive by West Virginia (5-7, 3-6 Big 12) was extended by two huge penalties.
