GAME SUMMARY:

 

 

West Virginia closes out the season with a 45-31 victory over Boston College and finishes with an 8-4 record. BC struck first picking up a FG on the opening drive. A run-focused Mountaineer offense answered with a TD and then recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. A few plays later Jason Colson plunged in from 4 yards and WV was up 14-3. The Mountaineers had more success in the 2nd quarter, finishing the half with a 15-yard TD pass from Marshall to Jackson giving WV a 28-10 halftime lead.

 

A pair of 3rd quarter FGs for WV was countered by a BC TD making it 34-17 late in the third quarter. BC put together a drive that started out heir own 10 and made it to the WV 1 before a fumble gave the ball back to the Mountaineers. WV drove out of harms way before being forced to a punt. BC's Blackmon took the kick at his own 1 and ran it back 99 yards to make it a 34-24 game. An failed onside kick gave the ball to WV in good field position and Andy "it's" Good made it 37-24. After a nice drive BC lost the balls on downs at the WV 19. WV was forced to punt and Dejuan Tribble returned the ball 51 yards to make it 37-31 and BC was back in business. WV finished things off with a short drive that ended with a 44 yard flat pass completion to Kay-Jay Harris and the Mountaineers, after adding a 2-point conversion, were up by 2 TDs 45-31 and that's how the game ended.

 

The Mountaineers totaled 29 first downs and kept the ball for 37 minutes. Unlike the last few weeks, the running game was abandoned early in favor of passing attack. Rasheed Marshall had one of his best games throwing for 343 yards and 3 TDs while going 26-36. Chris Henry caught 9 balls giving him 78 receptions for the year and Kay-Jay Harris pulled down 7 for 116 yards and 2 TDs. Harris added 81 yards on 18 carries while Colson finished with 65 yards on 16 carries.

 

BC had an effective passing attack with Peterson throwing for 246 yards while going 16-29. However, he had 2 costly interceptions, one in the WV endzone. The running game was effective early, but was abandoned for the passing game but BC piled up 159 yards on nearly 6 yards a pop.

Georgia Tech Visits The Aggies in Texas

 

With the Yellowjackets head coach away on business, the “HOUSE OF PAIN” stepped in to face his ultimate coaching rival, Vic Artibey and the Texas Aggies. Coach Payne was chomping at the bit right out of the visiting teams tunnel to the Aggies field, yelling and screaming at his players…..”Don’t let me down guys…DON’T LET ME DOWN!”   “I cannot take another loss to this man MY GAWWWD”

 

On the other side of the field Coach Artibey calmly walked out to the center of the field, turned slowly to view the packed house for this final game of the season. He knew his team was better, coming into the game with a respectable 7-3 record, as opposed the the Yellowjackets 5-6 mark. The Aggies also laid claim to the # 1 rushing defense in the league, and the # 2 rushing offense in the league. The Yellowjackets were well near the bottom in all offensive catagories.

 

 

 

Coach Artibey rallied his team and got ready for the opening kickoff which his team was to receive. With a backpack in tow, obviously loaded with munchies and beverages, he took his place on the sidelines and barked out plays and hand signals to the players on the field.

A quick 3 and out for the Aggies and they punted to the Yellowjackets endzone for a touchback.

 

Starting from their own 20, the Yellowjackets struck fast. After a 7 yard Grant run, Reggie Ball hit a streaking Nate Curry for a 68 yard gain as coach Payne was going all out to defeat his nemesis. On 2nd and goal from the 5, PJ Daniels ran it in for a

7-0 Yellowjackets lead 11:42 1st QTR.

 

After working their way out to midfield, the Aggies had to punt again. Then after a G.T punt, the Aggies had the ball at their own 34. With the Yellowjackets stuffing the A&M running game, coach Artibey went to the air. A 12 yard pass to Stutz, and a 3 yard Lewis run gave them a 2nd and 3 at their own 49.

 

Coach Artibey, with his backpack that seemed to always need adjusting……wait….it’s not a backpack……it’s…it’s a baby carrier!! MY GOODNESS! Looks as if the wife was running some errands and Poppa had to bring little Nathaniel along.

 

Well, it seems the hand signals for “FLAT PASS RIGHT” (WAVE ONE HAND AND COVER YOUR MOUTH) got misread as “GO DEEP JASON CARTER”  (WAVE ONE HAD IN FRONT OF NOSE, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND MAKE A PUKING SOUND) (little Nat made a boo-boo)

Well Reggie McNeil let one fly, and Nathan Burton stepped in front of it and took it 77 yards for a score and a

14-0 Yellowjackets lead. 6:00 1st QTR.

 

Vic and the Aggies then got moving and put a good drive together. In 11 plays they were on the G.T. 12 yard line. But penalties pushed them back to the 25 and they had to settle for a FG.

14-3 Yellowjackets 14:06 2nd QTR.

 

Following a GT punt, the Aggies moved the ball again. This time Coach Artibey used a quick pass attack to move the ball to the G.T. 5 yard line in 8 plays. With a 1st and goal on the 5, the Aggies had a 5 yard TD pass to Stutz called back with a holding penalty. 1st and goal at the 15. Another holding call on a 0 yard run made it 1st and goal on the 25. After all was said and done it was 4th and goal on the 23, and the Aggies had to settle for 3 again.

14-6 Yellowjackets 5:06 2nd QTR.

 

Following a GT punt, coach Artibey, baby in tow, was up and down the sidelines, bouncing little Nat up and down at a furious pace!

A 25 yard pass to Lewis, and a 10 yarder to Carter. A 10 yard Lewis run and an 8 yard pass to Murphy for the quick TD. The 2 point play was snuffed out and it was

14-12 Yellowjackets 1:45 2nd QTR.

 

Dissaster struck GT, a fumble on their own 31 recovered by A&M on the GT 25. A 15 yard pass to Carter to the 10. G.T. holds there and another FG for the Aggies.

15-14 Aggies halftime.

 

After trading punts and GT losing the ball on downs at the Aggies 35, Coach Artibey went to work on the playbook and was intent on putting his long time rival to rest.

 

In the mean time, Mrs. Artibey has returned from her errands to watch her hubby bub try to coach the game, keep the little ones pacifier in his mouth, read goo goo stories, and warm bottles of formula under the Texas sun for JR.

 

Back to the game……a 15 yard penalty on GT coach Payne for unsportsmanlike conduct on the sidelines for making NA-NA-GOO-GOO sounds, and using the T-SHIRT SLINGSHOT THROWER to fling gatorade soaked diapers acroos the field, hitting coach Artibey right in the scrotum.

 

OH YEAh, the game.

After a 5 yard penalty on GT, 2nd and 16 from their own 46…..OH GEEZ…COACH ARTIBEY IS WAVING TO HIS WIFE TO COME GET LITTLE Nathaniel. Waving franticly, pointing towards the restrooms behind the south endzone…..OH NO..ANOTHER MISREAD HAND SIGNAL!!!  McNeil misread what was supposed to be a off tackle draw, for another long pass to the endzone!  The ball sailed, and was picked off by nickle back Reuben Houston, he dodged his way downfield, right past the A&M bench, (Coach Artibey, on his knees, pounding his fists on the turf, Little Nathaniel giggling away on Daddies back.)  74 yards for another defensive TD for the Yellowjackets.

21-15 Yellowjackets 3:36 3rd QTR.

 

That is the final score of the game as both teams played great defense the rest of the game.

 

The Yellowjackets shut down the very good A&M running game to the tune of  34-71-2.1 avg-0TD

The Aggies also shut down the G.T. run game giving up only 75 yards on 30 carries for a 2.5 yard avg 1TD.

Vic coached his usual great game vs me and I kept waiting for the PAYNEFUL fumble or INT that would give the game back to him. But the two costly distractions of the new Poppa were HUGE causing the two long passes to be intercepted and ran back for touchdowns by the Yellowjackets!!

AS ALWAYS VIC…GREAT GAME!! (it was my turn, hehehehe)
