West Virginia Eyes Indiana Test After Oklahoma Rout
West Virginia coach Art Lewis expressed confidence in a comeback against Indiana despite injuries from the 47-14 loss to Oklahoma. QB Dick Longfellow, FB Noel Whipkey, and tackle Blaine Staats are listed as doubtful with others bruised. Staats expected to rejoin soon. Indiana relies on power from a single wing. WVU lags in scholarship counts with roughly 47 on roster.

Williams shines as Mountaineers split with Oklahoma
Beckley’s Danny Williams completed four of four passes for 99 yards and led a 78 yard touchdown drive before a one yard plunge with 92 seconds left. He averaged 45.1 yards on six punts, blocked a second quarter punt, and gained 21 yards on eight carries. Williams may contend for the starting quarterback job as Dick Longfellow recovers from a shoulder injury, with Indiana next on the schedule. Williams ranks among the team leaders in rushing and scoring, while Longfellow remains the starter when healthy.
