No. 8 West Virginia 48, No. 11 Texas 45: Geno Smith's Heisman campaign marches on
AUSTIN, Texas — Geno Smith passed for four touchdowns, leading No. 8 West Virginia to another wild shootout win in the Big 12, this time taking out No. 11 Texas 48-45 on Saturday night.
Smith, who has 24 touchdown passes this season without an interception, hit Stedman Bailey with a 6-yard score with 10:50 left to play. Andrew Buie ran for 207 yards and two touchdowns, the second coming giving the Mountaineers a critical 10-point lead late.
West Virginia (5-0, 2-0) didn’t seal the win until recovering an onside kick with 14 seconds left after Texas scored a touchdown on a pass from David Ash to Marquise Goodwin.

This was an awesome shootout between two good teams. It was one of the best games I have ever seen.
Edit to add: WVU is ranked #5 today in the AP Poll and #4 in the Coaches Poll.
