Austin, Smith Comparisons Might Not be Ridiculous
Written by Jeff Woollard   
Tavon Austin, Noel Devine’s heir apparent, has been moved to the outside “Z” receiver position for the 2010 Mountaineer football season.

In a recent interview, Austin compared himself to Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith. How could a sophomore running back at WVU compare himself with a potential NFL Hall Of Fame wide receiver? Surely, Austin had taken too hard of a hit by Robert Sands in practice, prior to making that comment.

 Somehow, I was missing something. I decided to compare Austin and Smith myself.

Written by Mike Casazza, The Charleston Daily Mail   

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Devin Ebanks submitted his name for the 2010 NBA Draft on Monday, which most saw to be as imminent as the arrival of pollen following West Virginia's first Final Four in 51 years.

Austin Turns Heads in Relief of Devine
Written by Dave Hickman, The Charleston Gazette   

MORGANTOWN - There was a scary moment during West Virginia's first full-contact workout of the spring Saturday afternoon, but it didn't come during anything close to a full-contact drill.

No, instead it was during a skeleton passing drill when tailback Noel Devine crossed over the middle and collided with linebacker Anthony Leonard. It was three or four minutes before Devine was helped to his feet and limped gingerly off the field.

Casteel Always Puts Team, Winning First
Written by John Antonik, MSNsportsNET.com   

MORGANTOWN - Jeff Casteel’s true worth to the West Virginia football program can’t be measured purely by the statistics his defenses produce.
