Darrynton Evans is the Mountaineers go-to running back, but don't overlook Marcus Williams who ran for a team-high 94 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries last week against South Alabama. He may have played his way into a more significant role on offense after that performance. "Marcus was the offensive MVP" last week, Drinkwitz said. "Provided a really nice spark, had two explosive run and the touchdown." - AP College Football

Austin Kendall loved the outcome but wasn't happy that West Virginia's offense struggled for much of the game against a Championship Subdivision opponent. The Oklahoma graduate transfer threw two second-half touchdown passes in his debut for the Mountain eers, who needed a comeback to hold off James Madison 20-13 Saturday. "We've got to be better as a team, especially me," Kendall said. "We've got to be better on offense."Kendall couldn't generate a ton of yards under constant pressure but did jus t enough to give Neal Brown a victory in his first game as West Virginia's coach while preventing the Mountaineers from losing to an FCS opponent for the first time. West Virginia's strengths entering the season were its depth at running back and on the offensive and defensive lines. All of those units underperformed as James Madison dominated the line of scrimmage for a good portion of the game. The Mountaineers averaged just 1.4 yards per rush, leaving it up to Kendall to bail them out. He did - barel y. - AP College Football
