Thanks for those that DM'd me on the trivia below
@mek23 got most of questions 1) and 2 and nailed 3), while @GoWVU was only one who was correct on question 1)
I'm sending you both DM's to get email/contact info to pass on the tickets for Iowa State, UCF and Albany - 2 seats in Section 127, Row 34, Seats 1-2 (about 35 yard line, WVU and team entrance side of 50).
Questions/ANSWERS
1) Patrick White was 4-0 as a starting QB in bowl games.... Since Don Nehlen’s first team in 1980, who are the other starting QBs for WVU to be undefeated in every bowl game they started.
ANSWERS:
- Oliver Luck 1981 Peach
- Kevin White 1984 Bluebonnet
- Brad Lewis 1999 Liberty Bowl
- Garrett Greene 2023 Duke’s Mayo
2) Beginning with the 1981 Peach Bowl win, WVU was ranked in consecutive seasons for the first time in 3 decades, and since then WVU has been ranked at year end in at least one of the AP or USA Today polls (or both) 17 years out of the last 43 seasons...while this might be a giveaway based on some recent threads I have seen on the Blue Lot, what has been the longest stretch of years that WVU has gone unranked since 1980?
ANSWER - 1994-2001
3) How many WVU players have had consecutive 1000 yard rushing seasons? Who were they?
ANSWERS - (7) TOTAL including one non-RB
Artie Owens, 1974-1975

ANSWER - 1994-2001
- While WVU experienced a 5 year drought from 2018 to 2023 (WVU was #25 in USA Today), the longest streak was after the 1993 undefeated season, where we did not end up the season ranked until 2002, Rich Rod’s second year (20th in USA Today and 25th in AP after finishing 9-4 after the loss to Virginia in Continental Bowl). We also had a stretch from 1955 to 1969 when the other poll was the UPI poll, and it was only a Top 20.
3) How many WVU players have had consecutive 1000 yard rushing seasons? Who were they?
