    West Virginia did its part to earn a spot in the Bowl Championship Series, clinching a tie for the Big East title by beating South Florida.

    Now, the Mountaineers need some help to make this an even sweeter season under first-year coach Dana Holgorsen.

    Tavon Austin returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, Pat Miller scored on a 52-yard interception return and Tyler Bitancurt kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Mountaineers (No. 23 BCS, No. 22 AP) their first victory in Tampa since 2005 and a portion of the conference title for the second straight year.
