On West Virginia's ensuing offensive drive following its early touchdown, the Mountaineers got an apparent score from running back Noel Devine, but it was called back by a personal foul penalty. An illegal formation penalty was tacked on afterward, killing WVU's drive and forcing the Mountaineers to settle for a 36-yard field goal by Tyler Bitancurt.
West Virignia now leads Connecticut 10-0. WVU has outgained UConn 144-7.
