West Virginia football fans have seen plenty of ups and downs in recent seasons — but after this weekend’s dominating performance, one thing is crystal clear: the Mountaineers are no longer the underdogs.
With a crushing 38–10 victory at home, Neal Brown’s team made a bold statement to the entire Big 12: WVU means business. The offense was unstoppable, the defense suffocating, and the energy inside Milan Puskar Stadium was unlike anything seen in years.
Garrett Greene, the fiery leader under center, once again proved why he’s the heartbeat of this team. The junior quarterback threw for three touchdowns and added another one on the ground, leaving defenders in his wake and the crowd on its feet.
“We wanted to show the country that we belong,” Greene said after the game. “Every time people doubt us, we just get hungrier.”
But it wasn’t just the offense that shined — the WVU defense was an absolute fortress. Led by Sean Martin and Beanie Bishop Jr., the Mountaineers forced four turnovers, including a spectacular pick-six that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Defensive coordinator Jordan Lesley praised his players’ effort:
️ “That’s Mountaineer football — fast, physical, relentless. These guys are fighting for every inch.”
Fans in Morgantown are buzzing about what’s next. After years of rebuilding and skepticism around Coach Brown’s future, this team finally looks complete — balanced, confident, and dangerous.
ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit even weighed in:
“West Virginia looks like the team nobody wants to face right now. They’re physical, well-coached, and full of swagger.”
The Mountaineers now sit firmly in the top half of the Big 12 standings, eyeing a potential run toward the conference championship. Upcoming matchups against rivals like Texas Tech and Oklahoma State will be crucial — and WVU’s locker room knows it.
“We’re not satisfied,” said linebacker Lee Kpogba. “This is just the beginning. We want a ring.”
The Mountaineer faithful are already dreaming big — bowl games, conference titles, maybe even a Top 25 ranking if this run continues. Social media exploded after the win, with fans declaring:
“This is the WVU team we’ve been waiting for!”
“Country Roads never sounded so good!”
As the echoes of the fight song rolled through the West Virginia night, one thing was clear:
The Mountaineers are done being overlooked.
