Hawkins is responsible for 3 TDs in return to his home state and West Virginia beats TCU 24-20

Michael Hawkins Jr. accounted for three touchdowns, and West Virginia’s defense forced three turnovers to secure its first true road win of the season.

  • On Saturday, West Virginia defeated TCU 24-20 at Amon G. Carter Stadium, securing the Mountaineers' first true road win of the season.
  • Following a difficult stretch, West Virginia's defense entered seeking improvement; Head coach Rich Rodriguez praised the unit for executing under pressure with 20 points allowed, the fewest in 14 Big 12 games.
  • Hawkins rushed for 94 yards with two touchdowns and threw a 13-yard scoring pass to running back Cam Cook, who finished with 90 rushing yards. TCU quarterback Jaden Craig passed for 372 yards but threw an interception.
  • With less than 1 minute remaining, defensive end David Afogho forced a fumble on a strip-sack of Craig at the 14-yard line; linebacker Ben Cutter recovered to seal the Mountaineers' victory.
  • Entering their bye week on a two-game win streak, the Mountaineers face three ranked opponents over their final four games. Rodriguez said this performance must become "a starting point" for consistency.
