Here I am with The Mountaineer. In the interest of full disclosure, the official Mountaineer is a female. I was told she was back in Morgantown with the mens basketball team for their home opener. I was stuck with the second stringer.

This is a shot of the controversial play where Isaiah Pead attempts to cross the plane of the goal line but fumbles with the Mountaineers recovering the football.

When you see the intense Bearcat eyes, it's an important third down play for the defense.
