Series History: West Virginia leads 1-0

The 'Eers and Chanticleers have met only once on the football field, which occurred all the way back in 2010. It's wild to think that was sixteen years ago already...yikes, I'm feeling old. West Virginia blanked Coastal, which was an FCS team at that time, by a 31-0 score. Geno Smith completed 20-of-27 pass attempts for 216 yards and two touchdowns while throwing an interception. Noel Devine rushed for 111 yards and a score on 23 carries. Coastal's offense was limited to just 186 total yards and went 2/14 on 3rd downs.
