MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia lost to Arizona State in its final road game of the season, 25-23, at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday.
In the first quarter so far, Fox is 4-for-6 for 54 passing yards.
That year, the Mountaineers were struggling in coach Frank Cignetti's fourth season at the helm, and the mood had grown dark within the program. It was said that longtime Charleston Gazette sportswriter Shorty Hardman cornered then-West Virginia athletic director Dick Martin in the back of the press box at Sun Devils Stadium to ask him if he was going to fire Cignetti at the end of the season.
Martin, taken back by the audacity of Shorty's question, replied, "Shorty, if you don't back up, I'm going to punch you right in the nose!"
