Those WVU teams from 2005-07 were fun to watch.

Option game on 💯💯💯

Rich Rod should have NEVER left WVU. Back when EA used to make the NCAA Football video game, WVU was my go to team during this time. That 3-3-5 defense gave the players that cheesed certain offenses total fits and I loved their offense! Pro set, triple option and pro set, Play action F-slide were my bread and butter plays.

One of the greatest college football games to ever be played.

21-0 in the first quarter, everyone was shocked! Georgia came storming back tho, made this a great game!

I have a friend who's a big Georgia fan and I'm a longtime diehard WVU fan. Before the game he was busting my chops about the Big Least but I just sat there quietly since I had a feeling White and Slaton were gonna give them fits....and they did. When the score was 28-0 my friend just sat there with a stunned look on his face...it was priceless.

This game and the south beach smack down when Geno and Austin absolutely embarrassed Clemson are my go to videos to get pumped for another blue and gold season

Football was just overall more exciting back then

Wasnt it?? I was a hardcore football fan in my youth, graduated HS in 2005 so like 2000-2010 college football was the best. I still watch today but I dont know, I dont really get all excited anymore. Maybe i guess cus im grown up now but when two Top 5 teams played, that was must-see TV for me back then. Now I barely notice when two Top 5 teams play

Only Saban's second season. He didn't change anything. It just took him another season to get up to speed. Another thing about this game is that Bama top 5 draft pick sat out at last minute. Bama didn't have depth they'd soon have in this game. And the freshman that took this top fiver's place rolled ankle in first qtr. After that, announcers said that only one of five Bama OL that started the game were in same position as when game began. O-line chaos ensued and no offensive answers could get off launch pad the rest of the game. That, combined with 21 pts in first 7:20 (Bama pitifully unprepared), too much to overcome.

Dawgs fan rewatching. I think i suppressed the memory of this loss. Ha. But damn White and Slaton were a heck of a duo. That Rich Rod offense. Whew! Gotta give props

I'm born and raised in West Virginia. I loved watching Georgia fans after WVU scored in 20 seconds because our offense was full of track stars lmao

I miss rich rod so bad

Greg Blue spent the week trash talking West Virginia, then 60 minutes watching the Mountaineers run all over him and the Georgia defense.

@@billblaski9523 True. Some still wonder to this day what the heck the GA defense was doing with a prevent defense at the 50 yard line on that WVU fake punt. Also, the GA defense didn't respect the speed WVU had. Fastest backfield in the country or in in ncaa history at both qb and rb were 4.3 40 yard dash.

Hurt his hands and couldn't hold onto the ball like he wanted. I think also knee and leg injuries limited his mobility.

Man DJ Shockley was such an underated QB. He sat 4 years behind David Greene instead of transferring and starting somewhere else.

Brad Nessler is the Sugar Bowl

Pat White was just unreal!!!

I'm a fan of the Louisville Cardinals and the Kentucky Wildcats but I enjoyed watching West Virginia ,Pat White, and Steve Slayton in 2005 and 2006. During that time frame the Big East had 2 really good football programs who both won a BCS Bowl West Virginia beating Georgia (Sugar Bowl) in 2005-2006 season and Louisville beating Wake Forest (Orange Bowl) in 2006-2007 season.

One of Richt's classic out of conference embarrassments. I love the WVU player at end who said WVU's "speed" was the difference...over Georgia? Doubt it. Shitty coaching against out of conference, maybe? Uh...yeh. Sleep walk one half and can't be stopped in other half. That was classic emotionally undisciplined Richt effort that hamstrung him in achieving glory in his many years there.
