Leddie Brown ran for three touchdowns, and West Virginia overcame Derius Davis' 100-yard return for a score on the opening kickoff in a 29-17 victory over TCU on Saturday night. Brown's 1-yard plunge put the Mountaineers (3-4, 1-3 Big 12) ahead for good in the second quarter and helped them avoid matching their worst start in Big 12 play since joining the league nine years ago. Max Duggan threw two interceptions - equaling his total from the first six games - as the Horned Frogs (3-4, 1-3) lost for the fourth time in five games. Three of the losses have been at home. TCU also lost a fumble to end any hopes of a late rally. Two weeks after getting blown out at Baylor, West Virginia was behind right away in a second consecutive game in Texas after Davis took off from the goal line, veered left around the TCU 35 and outran Sean Mahone down the left sideline.The Mountaineers, who coach Neal Brown said got a boost mentally from the week off, had an answer. Jarret Doege, who threw for 257 yards, conn ected with Sean Ryan on a 44-yarder to set up the first of three field goals from Casey Legg. Brown's first TD, a 5-yarder, gave West Virginia its first lead at 10-7 in the final seconds of the first quarter. Brown had 111 yards on 24 carries as the Moun taineers finished with 229 yards on the ground after coming in last in the Big 12 at 111 per game. Backup quarterback Garrett Greene had a 67-yard run to set up Legg's second field goal. Duggan's interceptions led to West Virginia's first nine points aft er halftime when the Horned Frogs trailed 20-17 at the break. TCU was shut out in the second half. - West Virginia/AP College Football

Jarret Doege threw two touchdown passes, Leddie Brown rushed for 106 yards and a score and West Virginia survived No. 15 Virginia Tech's furious rally from a 20-point deficit to beat the Hokies 27-21 on Saturday. The Mountaineers (2-1) built a 27-7-point lead midway through the third quarter but saw that mostly evaporate behind Virginia Tech's Braxton Burmeister. Burmeister threw for two scores, including a 29-yard TD toss to Jalen Holston with 3:10 left. Virginia Tech got the ball back with 2:11 remain ing on Jermaine Waller's interception of Doege at the West Virginia 17, but Burmeister threw incomplete on fourth-and-goal from the 3 and West Virginia ran out the clock.It was one of three Virginia Tech drives that stalled inside the West Virgini a 10, with the Hokies coming away with no points. Burmeister finished 18 of 30 for 207 yards. Virginia Tech (2-1) had allowed only three touchdowns in its first two games but gave up two quick scores to the Mountaineers, who couldn't keep up the momentum after halftime. West Virginia doesn't have a reputation for fast drives but jumped ahead 14-0 less than 6 minutes into the game. Brown, who had five touchdowns entering the game but had been limited to 104 rushing yards, went 80 yards up the middle for a score on West Virginia's second play from scrimmage. - West Virginia/AP College Football

A first-team all-Big 12 honoree last year, Leddie admits there are still things he needs to improve upon this spring, even if his contact work is limited. "I pretty much do everything the team does," he explained of his practice routine, "but I'm big on blitz pickup, recognizing blitzes, breaking down the defenses and things like that. That's my goal this spring." A big point of emphasis for Leddie this spring is in catching the football. His 31 receptions last year tied him for second on the team, and it was the most of any Big 12 running back, but still he thinks he can do even more in that area. "Thirty-one is a pretty good number, but I'm looking to improve that number this season," stated Brown, who is a native of Wilmington, Delaware. "Me catchin g the ball more will help me in the eyes of the NFL scouts, because that's what they're looking for, backs who can do it all - run, catch and block, the full package. That's what I'm trying to show them." - Charleston Gazette-Mail

A native of Wilmington, Delaware, who spent his final prep season at Neumann-Goretti High in Philadelphia, Brown came to WVU in 2018 with a great deal of hype, but it took him a little while to live up to those accolades. He rushed for 446 yards as a tru e freshman in 2018 but then backslid a bit as a sophomore, netting 367 yards on the ground. With improved blocking in front of him this past season, he became the 27th Mountaineer to eclipse the 1,000-yard barrier, and he did it in a coronavirus-shortene d season.Brown's rushing average of 101.0 yards per game was second-best in the Big 12 last season and 12th among all FBS runners who played in at least eight games. Add in his 202 receiving yards, and Brown was third in the Big 12 in all-purpose yardage (rushing, receiving and returns) with 121.2 per game, which trailed only Iowa State's Breece Hall (146.0 ypg) and Kansas State's Deuce Vaughn (122.1 ypg). Having been at WVU three seasons, Brown reportedly pondered jumping into the NFL pool in 20 21, but ultimately decided to return to college for at least one more season. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

"Leddie has gotten better as his practice habits have improved," WVU head coach Neal Brown said. "He is, if not our best, in the conversation - on Tuesday and Wednesday when it's work days for us, he's working. He has high player loads. He hits top speed s. He's setting up his blocks against our defense or the scout team, every rep matters. And as he's done that, as his approach to practices and approach to taking care of his body has improved...and he's only going to continue to get better. I think he's in the conversation with a lot of the top running backs in our league."Statistically, it was an outstanding, workmanlike performance. Brown carried 18 times for 195 yards, caught five passes for 36 yards and scored twice, and he did it in just un der three quarters, with his long touchdown run marking his last play from scrimmage. Leddie Brown has been there all season for a unit that has had nothing else to hang its hat on consistently. He's now gone over 100 yards rushing in three of the team's four games, with the exception coming in a 93-yard performance against Baylor. He's unofficially fourth on the team in receptions with 12, and his seven total touchdowns are four better than the next-closest skill-position players, receiver Bryce Ford-W heaton and running back Alec Sinkfield, each with three. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

Leddie Brown broke open a close game with a long touchdown run in the third quarter and caught one of Jarret Doege's three touchdown passes to lead West Virginia to a 38-17 victory Saturday over a winless Kansas team that was without coach Les Miles. Bef ore a crowd of 10,759 in the first game that West Virginia allowed the general public to attend amid the pandemic, the Mountaineers (3-1, 2-1 Big 12) overcame a bevy of mistakes to beat the Jayhawks for the seventh straight time. With West Virginia cling ing to a 17-10 lead late in the third quarter, Brown rumbled 87 yards up the middle untouched, the start of three straight touchdowns for the Mountaineers.The 210-pound junior compiled 195 yards on 18 carries, sitting out the fourth quarter. Brown also had a 6-yard scoring reception in the second quarter from Doege, who also had TD passes of 33 yards to Bryce Ford-Wheaton and 8 yards to Sam James. Doege completed 26 of 44 passes for 318 yards. Miles tested positive for the coronavirus a week ago and was cleared to return to the Jayhawks on Thursday. But he chose not to travel with the team out of caution. Tight ends coach Joshua Eargle filled in for Miles against the Mountaineers. Despite some bright moments early, the result was the same: The J ayhawks (0-4, 0-3) have now lost 51 straight true road games in the conference. - AP College/West Virginia Football

Leddie Brown scored a 3-yard touchdown run in the second overtime after West Virginia's defense made a stop, and the Mountaineers outlasted Baylor 27-21 on Saturday. West Virginia (2-1, 1-1 Big 12) squeaked out the win in a game where offensive consisten cy was rare and mistakes were plentiful. Baylor (1-1, 1-1) surpassed 200 rushing yards a week ago against Kansas but managed 256 yards overall against West Virginia. West Virginia's defense chased down Baylor's Charlie Brewer all day.They sacked h im six times, had 11 tackles for loss and forced two interceptions. Brewer threw three touchdown passes, but his interception in the second overtime proved costly. West Virginia's Tykee Smith made an over-the-shoulder catch on a pass intended for Trestan Ebner along the line in the back of the end zone. The call was upheld upon review. The Mountaineers needed five plays to score on their second-overtime possession with Brown covering the final 12 yards on three rushes. Brown finished with 93 yards, fall ing short in his bid for three straight 100-yard efforts to start the season. - West Virginia/AP College Football

West Virginia University's running game really has no way to go but up this season. It would be difficult to go any lower than where it was statistically in 2019. The Mountaineers could, but they'd have little distance to fall. WVU was third worst in the Football Bowl Subdivision in rushing yards per game (73.25) and second worst in yards per carry (2.63). So it is good news for coach Neal Brown when he can point out positives among his running backs, as he was able to in recent practices. West Virginia 's leading rusher from last season, Leddie Brown, is back, and he has shown recent examples of why he should be one of, if not the lead ball carrier in 2020, Neal Brown said."Leddie Brown ran the ball really hard, and that's been the case really s ince Saturday," Brown told WVU's official athletic website after Thursday's practice. "I'm kind of excited about him, and the week he's had. I think it was an important week for him, and he's been productive." Leddie Brown finished last season with 367 y ards and a touchdown on 107 carries. His best day as a Mountaineer came in WVU's Big 12 opener at Kansas, where he gained 70 yards on 12 carries, more than 5.8 yards per carry. - Charleston Gazette-Mail
