W. Virginia 31 - 21 Maryland (4:33 left in 4th Quarter)

Maryland's possession went nowhere, as the Terps were buried under a combination of silly penalties and WVU blitzes.  Finally, on 4th and 21, Perry Hills flung the ball down the middle of the field -- where it was intercepted by a WVU defender who should have simply let the ball hit the ground.  So WVU takes over on its own 29 yard line, and the Mountaineers will win the game.  But WVU will not cover the 26-point spread, and their impressive young coach, Dana Holgorsen, looks like he's about to blow a gasket on the sidelines.  He knows that this type of performance will not get it done against the best teams in the Big XII, and he's right.
