Quarterback Jarrett Brown was named the Offensive Player of the Week by the Big East conference after he had 407 yards of total offense to key West Virginia’s 35-20 win against East Carolina. He completed 24 of 31 passes for career highs of 334 yards and four touchdowns, and added 73 rushing yards on 10 attempts. Brown had a hand in 80 percent of West Virginia’s 509 total yards against the Pirates and became just the fourth Mountaineer player in history to register 400 yards of offense in a game.
Cornerback Brandon Hogan continued his upward arc with a game- and career-high 11 tackles with two pass breakups against the Pirates to earn a spot of the Big East honor roll of performances.
