Quarterback Nicco Marchiol was benched for five series in the second half before leading West Virginia on a furious comeback.

After Edwards’ touchdown run, Pittsburgh’s Eli Holstein threw incomplete on fourth down to end the game. Pittsburgh falls to 2-1 and lost for the fourth straight time in Morgantown.
