HUNTINGTON, West Virginia (Ticker) -- West Virginia's firstvisit to Marshall in nearly a century was anything but easy.

Pat White passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another scoreas the third-ranked Mountaineers overcame a sluggish startbefore pulling away for a 48-23 victory over Marshall onSaturday.


Making their first visit to Huntington since 1915, theMountaineers (2-0) hardly resembled one of the nation's topteams as they had to rally from a halftime deficit.

But White got the high-powered offense moving in the second halfas he threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Darius Reynaud andscored on a 20-yard run during a 21-point third quarter thatturned a 13-6 deficit into a 27-16 lead.


White completed 13-of-18 passes for 149 yards without aturnover. He also rushed for 125 yards on 18 attempts.

Speedy running back Steve Slaton, who was completely bottled upin the first two quarters, added touchdown runs of two and 18yards in the second half for West Virginia, which improved to7-0 all-time against Marshall.


Slaton rushed for 144 of his 146 yards after halftime. Thejunior was held to two yards on five carries over the first twoquarters.


Reynaud also proved a handful for the Thundering Herd defense as<div class="pre">he finished with eight receptions for 126 yards and two</div>scores. He caught a 46-yard TD pass in the first quarter,giving the Mountaineers a 6-3 lead.


Bernard Morris threw a pair of touchdown passes for Marshall(0-2), which was coming off a 31-3 beating at Miami last week.

After enduring four three-and-outs on their seven first-halfpossessions, the Mountaineers scored touchdowns on their firstthree possessions of the second half.

Bernard Morris threw a pair of touchdown passes for Marshall(0-2), which was coming off a 31-3 beating at Miami last week.

After enduring four three-and-outs on their seven first-halfpossessions, the Mountaineers scored touchdowns on six of theirseven possessions after intermission.


Darius Marshall gave the home crowd an immediate jolt, returningthe opening kickoff 77 yards to the West Virginia 23. The bigplay led to Anthony Binswanger's 32-yard field goal.

The Mountaineers responded when White found Reynaud over themiddle for a 46-yard TD. A bad snap on the extra point left theMountaineers with a 6-3 lead.


After the score, the Thundering Herd's aggressive defense -which featured seven men in the box - held the Mountaineers offthe board for the rest of the half.


A 26-yard punt return by Pat McAfee in the second quarter set upMorris' 38-yard touchdown pass to Darius Passmore, giving theThundering Herd a 10-6 lead with 5:27 left in the first half.

Morris went an efficient 15-of-23 for 231 yards without aturnover.


Binswanger converted a 26-yard field goal with two seconds leftin the opening half as Thundering Herd took a 13-6 lead.

But the Mountaineers flexed their muscles thereafter on offense,with White engineering five scoring drives of at least 50 yards.

Noel Devine also got into the act for the Mountaineers, scoringon runs of 12 and 10 yards. He rushed for 76 yards on fivecarries.
