This really was the resurgence of Mountaineer football. After several very DOWN years ( if I recall my senior year 1979/80, WVU was ranked as one of the top 20 "WORST" D1 football programs in the country. Don Nehlan came in, with a new stadium and more money and did a great job. Before the game, the Atlanta papers commented that..............."having West Virginia in the game, set the bowl back 10 years"...as we were so poorly respected. Well..........................YES!!...and I was there. Thank you for uploading!!! A GREAT MEMORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Darrell Tally got a bum deal as a trial Quarterback. They said no one could catch his fast ball. What are u kidding me. He threw absolute Lazers. He should of transferred out in my opinion. Just sayin
I felt the same way. He should have never let anyone hold him back. What do you mean he threw to hard. Common man. Well, sing him to baseball. But seriously when I saw his passes on the mark I got very excited. Terrible call

I was there for this game. Drove down to Atlanta packed in a beat up station wagon. 20 years old and the legal drinking age was 18. Look out.
I watched this with my late brother, we were hooping and hollering the whole game.
Wasn’t quite born yet but my folks were there, still have several souvenirs (cups, shirts, etc) from the game
Plp
I went to this game. The weather was horrible- rain and sleet. Had a great time.
Same as Stewart's first game against Oklahoma. Only the true Mountaineers fans believed that the Mountaineers would win!!!
I was there with my father!
if I recall they held FLA to (-26) yrds rushing
I loved this team and I love this game. Sad that Oliver Luck turned out to be such a creep.
