Hawkins throws for 464 and Cassidy's FG with no time left lifts West Virginia over Cincinnati 45-42

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- , Mike Hawkins Jr. threw for a career-high 464 yards and Jack Cassidy kicked a 35-yard field goal as time ran out to lift West Virginia to a wild 45-42 win over Cincinnati on Saturday. The teams combined for 1,220 yards of offense. It marked the fourth consecutive game for West Virginia in which the teams surpassed 1,000 yards. “It was crazy,” Hawkins said. “For the offense, we've just got to keep scoring. That's the goal every week. It doesn't matter what's going on in the game. Don't look at the scoreboard, just take it play by play. But it was an unreal game to be in.” West Virginia (4-3, 1/3 Big 12) never led until Cassidy’s winner and broke a three-game losing streak. Cincinnati (4-2, 1-2) has lost two straight, sandwiched around a bye week. Hawkins threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more scores for West Virginia.
