Overview
- Colorado fell to 3-7 (1-6 Big 12), confirming no bowl for the fourth time in five seasons under third-year coach Deion Sanders, now 16-19 at CU.
- True freshman JuJu Lewis threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with Omarion Miller for a 23-yard score as Miller finished with 131 receiving yards.
- West Virginia leaned on freshman quarterback Scotty Fox Jr.’s touchdown pass and deployed hybrid defender Curtis Jones as a short-yardage back for two rushing TDs.
- A blocked punt for a safety, sustained pass rush that produced seven sacks of Lewis, and an onside-kick recovery in the final minutes shaped the Mountaineers’ win.
- West Virginia improved to 4-6 with a second straight victory, though postgame reports differed on its Big 12 record, listing it as either 2-5 or 2-6.
