About This Game
West Virginia and Virginia traded blows in an offensive clinic that kept the scoreboard busy from start to finish. The Mountaineers struck first with Jekail Middlebrook's opening touchdown, but Virginia answered before the first quarter ended. The teams continued their back-and-forth rhythm through the opening half—Virginia tied the game at 14, then again at 21 late in the third quarter, refusing to surrender despite West Virginia's steady pace.
Michael Hawkins Jr., the Oklahoma transfer orchestrating West Virginia's offense, delivered when it mattered most. His second touchdown pass to D.J. Epps gave the Mountaineers the lead for good, and from there, West Virginia's superior execution shined through. A decisive 78-yard drive capped by Hawkins' 5-yard touchdown run with 5:24 remaining put the game out of reach. Despite Virginia's late touchdown push, the Cavaliers ran out of time and momentum.
This was a night of offensive fireworks across 26 combined drives—a game where every possession carried weight and scoring rhythm determined the outcome. Gameprints captures that relentless back-and-forth perfectly, visualizing every drive in striking custom wall art.
