West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen had a lot of fun with his players in the locker room after they defeated Texas.
West Virginia came away with a 38-20 victory over Texas to improve their record to 5-4, and Texas fell to 4-6 with their loss. The Mountaineers were extremely pumped with their win, as the players and head coach Dana Holgorsen celebrated accordingly in the locker room. The Mountaineers head coach took to Twitter to post a video of himself and his players celebrating their win, and he can be seen crowd surfing in this 10-second clip.
"So proud of our team. Great victory over the University of Texas https://t.co/l07E30EoE7— Dana Holgorsen (@Holgorsendana) November 14, 2015"
Although he has not experienced major success since West Virginia won 10 games and the Orange Bowl in the 2011 season, Holgorsen has a lot to be happy about. His team is back on track with a winning record, which puts them on pace to make it to a bowl game. The Mountaineers have won two games in a row, and they just need one more to attain bowl eligibility.
They have a relatively easy schedule from here on out with Kansas, Iowa State and Kansas State as their remaining opponents. None of these teams are likely to make it to a bowl game since they all have losing records, and Holgorsen’s crowd surfing indicates that the team is fired up and ready to finish their season strongly.
Meanwhile, Texas is in danger of losing bowl eligibility since they must win out and upset No. 6 Baylor on the road to even out their record. Head coach Charlie Strong has been able to keep a stranglehold on his job by leading the Longhorns to an upset win over Oklahoma and three wins in their last four games prior to the West Virginia loss.
