MORGANTOWN, West Virginia (Ticker) -- Western Michigan knewwhat was coming but was powerless to stop it.


Heisman Trophy hopefuls Pat White and Steve Slaton had a hand inthe first seven touchdowns to power third-ranked West Virginiato a 62-24 rout of Western Michigan on Saturday afternoon.

As sophomores, Slaton and White paced the Mountaineers to thenation's second-ranked rushing game, combining for 235 yards agame. The juniors picked right up where they left off againstthe Broncos, who opened against a ranked opponent for the fifthtime in program history.


White threw two touchdown passes - one to Slaton - and ran for apair of bursts of 38 and 22 yards. Slaton ran for threesscores and hauled in a 50-yard scoring pass from White as WestVirginia (1-0) improved to 36-6 in its last 42 regular-seasongames.


After being held to 20 yards on nine carries in the openinghalf, Slaton finished with 109 on 16 carries, registering his16th 100-yard effort as West Virginia put up its second-highestpoint total under seventh-year coach Rich Rodriguez.

White completed 10-of-18 for 192 yards and two TDs and rushedfor 97 yards on nine carries. He threw first-quarter touchdownpasses of 19 yards to Dorrell Jalloh and 50 to Slaton for a 14-6lead.


West Virginia extended the margin to 28-6 on a 38-yard scoringrun by White and a one-yard TD plunge by Slaton, but the Broncosseemed to take some momentum into the locker room by scoringwith 17 seconds left in the half.


Quarterback Tim Hiller capped a 14-play, 74-yard drive with atwo-yard run and passed to Branden Ledbetter for the conversion,cutting the deficit to 28-14.


The momentum was short-lived, as Slaton burst up the middle fora 58-yard run to make it 35-14. After Jeff Reed's secondinterception of the game, White swept around the left side for22 yards two plays later to push the lead to 42-14 with 8:39left in the third.


Backup running backs Jarrett Brown and true freshman Noel Devinetacked on fourth-quarter touchdowns. The highly touted Devinerushed for 44 yards on seven carries.
