West Virginia University suffered a 17-10 road loss to Ohio University this past Saturday, a defeat marked by a profoundly ineffective offensive performance. The Mountaineers' struggles were highlighted by their inability to score on their final six possessions and their failure to capitalize on multiple opportunities created by their defense. A major blow came in the second quarter when star running back Jahiem White, who scored WVU's only touchdown, was carted off the field with what appeared to be a significant injury. Despite the WVU defense forcing three second-half interceptions on consecutive drives, the offense was unable to generate any points from the turnovers, ultimately netting negative yardage on those possessions. Head Coach Rich Rodriguez took full responsibility for the loss, expressing his disappointment and vowing that he and the team would work to improve.
