In a game highlighted by an unconventional offensive strategy, West Virginia defeated Colorado 29-22, largely due to sophomore bandit Curtis Jones Jr. playing double duty. Jones, a former all-state high school tailback, was activated on offense to solve short-yardage issues and responded by rushing for two touchdowns, including the game-sealing 4-yard score with 4:15 left. The Mountaineers (4-6) built an early lead thanks to Jones's first touchdown and a blocked punt for a safety, and they never trailed. WVU's defense, which had struggled to generate pressure, came alive with seven sacks, applying a "game plan" of "mind games" against Colorado's true freshman quarterback Julian Lewis, who was making his first start. Despite a 299-yard, two-touchdown performance from Lewis, the Mountaineer defense and Jones's crucial offensive contributions were enough to secure the win.
