One of these days, West Virginia will put together two good halves in the same afternoon. For now, one outstanding half per game is good enough. Geno Smith threw for a career-high 388 yards, and the 18th-ranked Mountaineers withstood a furious comeback by Maryland to pull out a 37-31 victory Saturday. One week earlier, West Virginia (3-0) trailed Norfolk State at halftime before pulling away. The Mountaineers addressed that deficiency and used what they learned to build a 27-10 lead at the break against the stunned Terrapins.
