W. Virginia 42 - 35 Baylor (12:01 left in 3d Quarter)

On 3d down, Baylor made the usual completed pass for a first down, but then the receiver -- Terrence Williams of W.T. White H.S. in Dallas, TX -- fumbled the ball, which was scooped up by West Virginia.  But then the call was OVERTURNED, and the pass was ruled incomplete, so Baylor gets to punt.  So instead of taking over at the Baylor 28, WVU will get the ball at its own 16.

I was going to say that this is a huge deal, but given WVU's performance so far, it may not be that important.

The WVU folk -- who have now seen the officials uphold Baylor's TD on the last play of the first half (WVU thought the Baylor QB had crossed the line of scrimmage before the pass was thrown) and who have also seen the officials overturn a fumble that would have given WVU possession in Baylor's territory -- are now complaining about the Big XII officials.  To which I say, if they think it's bad in Morgantown, wait until they go to Austin next week.
