What happened
ESPN RECAPMarchiol throws for 2 TDs, West Virginia scores on 3 fourth downs to beat Arizona 31-26
TUCSON, Ariz. -- , West Virginia travelled across the country facing a crossroads. Lose at Arizona, the Mountaineers would have to fight just to become bowl eligible. Win and they still have a shot at being in the mix for the Big 12 title. No reason to be passive with so much on the line so far away from home. Aggressive from the start, West Virginia scored three times on fourth downs , one on a fake field goal , and held off a late Arizona rally to win on Saturday night. “We felt like this was a critical game for us and we needed to win,” West Virginia coach Neal Brown said. “As I told the guys: we were going to empty the tank.” Coming off two double-digit losses to ranked opponents, West Virginia arrived in the desert missing three captains, including quarterback Garrett Greene , hurt last week against Kansas State.
