Mountaineers face Friday clash with unclear run game
West Virginia coach Art Lewis primes for a home night game against George Washington as injuries plague the backfield. Johnny Murphy's status is doubtful after a serious W and L setback and several backs including Priester Purello and Litten are hurt or limited. The passing game has shown spurts but the rushing attack remains weak with Jimmy Cornwell's 54 yards the top effort. The team will practice under Morgantown lights tonight ahead of the after dark matchup.
