The clock is ticking for Darius Stills. The Mountaineer senior defensive lineman can count on one hand the number of college football games left in his career … and he'd have a couple fingers unused. It's true that the NCAA is not counting the 2020-21 athletic year against the eligibility for any fall or winter sport student-athletes. So Stills could return next season if he wanted, but it seems clear that his plan is to give pro football a shot when the 2020 campaign comes to a close. He almost declared for the NFL draft last year, but ultimately decided to return to WVU for his senior campaign. It's a decision that has paid handsomely for both Stills and the Mountaineers. The recognition Stills has gotten this year has been wide ranging, starting with being named the Big 12 Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and recently being listed as a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award.

The 6-foot-1, 285-pound senior has three and a half sacks and six and a half tackles for loss through WVU's first eight games this season, to go along with 19 total tackles. Those are numbers any nose tackle would be proud of, but they haven't yet reached last year's 12-game stats when he had 47 tackles, seven sacks and 14.5 TFLs. Of course Stills is the focus of every opposing blocking scheme this year, meaning he's often double-teamed. That has put a crimp in his individual stats, but it's helped the WVU defense overall, allowing linebackers like Tony Fields (79 tackles) to run free and make plays. "I'm doing OK, but I still have a lot I can do. They are scheming off me and Dante [Stills] a lot, so it's kind of difficult at times to make plays," noted Stills, referring to his younger brother who starts beside him at defensive tackle. "Other guys are making plays, though, so that's all that matters." - Charleston Gazette-Mail

Jarrett Doege threw two touchdown passes and ran for one score, Leddie Brown surpassed 100 rushing yards for the fifth time this season and West Virginia beat TCU 24-6 on Saturday.

The Horned Frogs were held to a pair of field goals, the first time they were held out of the end zone since 2016 against Kansas State. Brown had three rushes of at least 30 yards to pile up 156 yards on the ground, while Doege continued to make good decisions with his arm. The second-year starter, who transferred from Bowling Green last year, completed passes to seven different receivers. - AP College Football

Injured West Virginia kicker Evan Staley said he will miss the rest of the season. Staley said Sunday on Twitter that he will have surgery soon. He didn’t specify what the injury was or when it occurred. Staley made six of nine field-goal attempts and all 19 extra point tries this season. He missed a 51-yard field goal on West Virginia’s first offensive series of Saturday’s 37-10 win over Kansas State, then made a 19 yarder later in the first quarter and was on the field for the ensuing kickoff. Casey Legg later made field goals of 25 and 45 yards. Staley said he is ready to start the recovery process and looks forward to returning to the field. West Virginia (4-2, 3-2 Big 12) plays at Texas (4-2, 3-2) next Saturday. - AP College Football
