Austin, TX (Sports Network) - Geno Smith threw four touchdown passes and
Andrew Buie ran for 207 yards and a pair of scores, including the game-sealing
TD with under two minutes left, as eighth-ranked West Virginia earned a wild
48-45 win over No. 11 Texas.
Smith finished 25-of-35 for 268 yards for the Mountaineers (5-0, 2-0 Big 12),
who got three TD receptions from Stedman Bailey. Tavon Austin caught 10 passes
for 102 yards and a score.
It was a far cry from a record-setting performance like last week, when Smith
set school marks with eye-popping totals of 656 passing yards and eight
touchdown throws in a 70-63 win over Baylor.
David Ash connected on 22-of-29 throws for 269 yards, including an 8-yard TD
pass to Marquise Goodwin with 15 seconds remaining. West Virginia recovered
the ensuing onsides kick and sent the Longhorns (4-1, 1-1) to their eighth
straight loss when facing a team ranked in the top 25.
Joe Bergeron had four rushing touchdowns for the Longhorns.
