Pics of Vegas Part 1
There was a lot of sunshine and points that cascaded on Mountaineer field against the UNLV Runnin' Rebels, actually the most points ever scored by a Bill Stewart team. Although Coach Stewart isn't in to "style points" the rest of the nation got a glimpse at how athletic WVU really is and what they hope to become on a weekly basis - a team efficient at scoring.
Albeit the Rebels were severely injured and out-manned coming into the contest, WVU's domination is what good teams do when facing an opponent that isn't up to their level.
Below are some of the images from Saturday's game:
