WVU Seeks 30th Straight SoCon Victory at GW
West Virginia coach Art Lewis says his team must improve after a 10-7 win over Richmond and a poor four-minute stretch on the one-yard line. Two rule changes aided WVU this season, allowing Johnny Thackston to placekick the 46-yard winner and permitting a wild card substitution when the clock stops. Lewis used 37 players, including 13 sophomores, and called Richmond the best foe yet seen.
