The way this runaway beer truck breaks down as the first notes of Country Roads are played... And then the first complete sentence he can pull together afterwards is "I love this state"... Gets me EVERY. TIME.
Owen wasn't the most talented player on the team and wasn't even recruited by WVU. He literally had his own high school video tapes and visited schools on his own. When he got a shot at WVU, he made the most of it because of his heart and work ethic. 3-4-5 Star talent is great ...bit you can't put a value on heart, determination and work ethic. Period! Owen was able to play in the NFL for a few years because of the above. I will never forget Owen Schmitt "The run away beer truck." Much respect!
This is my favorite piece of Mountaineer history. We had our best coach of all time straight up abandon our team right before a bowl game. An assistant coach name Bill Stewart stepped up and got these young men the victory they deserved. RIP Coach Bill Stewart. I hope to meet you on the other side.
I love when God let’s you know he’s with you. Like when she brings up its Owens last game and immediately country roads starts. Beautiful moment. Thanks Owen so thankful to have been old enough to watch you play in the gold & blue.
I can’t help but to get teary eyed when I watch this video. Owen Schmitt will ALWAYS be a West Virginia LEGEND! The #35 jersey should be retired at WVU.
Probably one of the best times in mountaineer history. Forget football being played, it’s about decent people all over the state loving each other and here is your result a huge man breaking down in tears because that is how powerful love is.

Absolutely beautiful and poetic
Yea bro
If you're a mountaineer, and know how they feel about that song up there in Motown, and this clip doesn't make you cry, there is something wrong.
TheBigBadBob10 gotta love my hometown Motown

Gets me every time!
I met this guy today. Really nice guy.
Thank you Owen
You will never find a tougher guy.
He is a great ambassador for not only the state but also the LGBT community.
What?
@@austincurry9861 "What?" If that's a statement, I understand. If it's a question, you will have to elaborate.
Owen will always be a Falcon!
