Date:
7/22/15
The West Virginia 1891 Football Team
On November 28, 1891 West Virginia played Washington & Jefferson in front of 250 spectators and lost 0-72. The loss must have soured West Virginia on football, as they sat out the 1892 season.
On October 7, 1893 the Mountaineers won their first college football game by a score of 12-0 vs. Mt. Pleasant. They went 2-1 in 1893 and were coached by F. William "John" Rane who compiled a 4-3 record over his two year coaching career.
