A West Virginia team that seemed out of the game early in the fourth quarter has tied Marshall with seconds left and sent the game to overtime.
Marshall-West Virginia, Live: WVU Mounts 98-Yard Drive To Tie Marshall With Seconds Left
Once again, quarterback Geno Smith led his Mountaineers on a long drive -- this time, a 98-yard march that ended with a touchdown pass to Will Johnson. WVU then added a two-point conversion with a pass to Jock Sanders in the back of the end zone. The game, tied 21-21, is headed to overtime.
If No. 23 West Virginia ends up with the win on Friday night, it would be an especially cruel way for underdog Marshall to lose. Minutes into the fourth quarter, Marshall had the ball at the Mountaineers’ five-yard line up 21-6. The decision was made to hand the ball to true freshman Tron Martinez, who fumbled. West Virginia responded with two touchdown drives of 96 and 98 yards.
The game is now in overtime.
