Mountaineer Senior Reviews ...... 3 Highlights, honors, superlatives and fi nal statistics for the 22 Mountaineers who completed their careers in 2015.

2012 Season In Review ...... 35 West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen led the Mountaineer football program into uncharted territory, beginning an affi liation as a new member of the Big 12 conference. The Mountaineers fi nished 7-6, their 11th straight winning season, made their 11th straight bowl appearance, a school record, set numerous off ensive records, had several players earn postseason honors and established a solid foundation in its new conference home.

2013 Season In Review ...... 45 Three words that come to mind when summing up the 2013 West Virginia football season were inexperience, inconsistency and injuries, and the Mountaineers had plenty of each, resulting in a 4-8 record and tying for seventh place in the second year of Big 12 competition.

2014 Season In Review ...... 53 West Virginia played the toughest schedule in school history during the 2014 season, facing fi ve teams ranked in the Top 12 nationally. However, facing such a tough schedule still didn’t hinder WVU from showing improvement, as it fi nished with a 7-6 record, had a 5-4 mark in its third year in the Big 12 Conference, its highest conference fi nish and made an appearance in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

2015 Season In Review ...... 62 One of the top accomplishments for the Mountaineer senior class in 2015 was to fi nish with the most wins (8) by a WVU football team since becoming a Big 12 Conference member. The WVU seniors also led the program to a bowl game for the third time during their careers and won the Cactus Bowl. WVU fi nished with an 8-5 record, tied for fi fth in the Big 12 Conference and earned the 15th bowl win in the school’s history.

-- 48 -- Texas got the ball fi rst in overtime. The Mountaineer defense held on the fi rst two MMarquisarquis downs, before a 14-yard pass play took the LLucasucas Longhorns down to the fi ve-yard line. Three plays later, Texas found the end zone. Then West Virginia rode an Alford reverse 20 yards to the fi ve-yard line, before two incomplete passes and an interception ended the game for WVU. With its proverbial back against the wall, the Mountaineers had to win both remaining games to earn the bowl bid. Kansas, who struggled all year, had other plans, and rode James Sims, to 211 rushing yards and three touchdowns en route to the 31-19 upset victory. Millard replaced the injured Trickett and fi nished 24-of-43 for 245 yards and two touchdowns, and Sims ran for 99 yards and scored two touchdowns. Clarke led WVU with 10 tackles, including two for loss, and Kwiatkoski fi nished with eight tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss and recovered a fumble. West Virginia returned home to play its fi nal game of the season against Iowa State in hopes of fi nishing with a win to honor its 14 seniors. The Mountaineers took a 31-14 halftime lead on two Sims touchdown runs, a White 17-yard WWendellendell touchdown reception from Trickett and a 38- SSmallwoodmallwood yard fumble return by Joseph. Kyle However, Iowa State outscored WVU 24-7 Rose in the fourth quarter, including a 19-yard touchdown pass with a minute left in regulation to tie the game and force the third overtime game for West Virginia in its last four games. The game remained tied after two overtimes, and Justin Coleman, who tied the game in regulation, caught the winning touchdown on the fi rst play of the third overtime period and the Cyclones converted the two-point conversion. WVU, like in its game against Texas, moved down to the three-yard line on its fi rst off ensive play, but two runs each netted negative yards, an incomplete pass and a completed pass that was stopped at the two-yard line thwarted the Mountaineers chances. The inexperience, inconsistency and injuries slowed the Mountaineers the entire season, but enough experience was established throughout the year to give the program positive building blocks to forge a solid foundation that will prove benefi cial heading into the 2014 season.
