Minus White, WVU Still Beats Syracuse

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (AP) ― Noel Devine rushed for a career-high 188 yards and a touchdown, leading West Virginia to a 17-6 win over Syracuse on Saturday.

West Virginia struggled without quarterback Pat White, who hadn't recovered from a head injury sustained against Rutgers a week earlier.

It marked the fewest points for West Virginia (4-2, 2-0 Big East) in a win since a 15-7 victory over Syracuse in 2005.

Backup Jarrett Brown threw a 12-yard TD pass to Jock Sanders in the second quarter, Devine scored on a 92-yard run in the fourth and the Mountaineers kept Syracuse (1-5, 0-2) out of the end zone for the first time this season.

Syracuse's Curtis Brinkley ran for 144 yards and Morgantown native Patrick Shadle kicked two field goals, including a career-best 53-yarder.
