 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Freshman Steve Slaton scored six touchdowns after halftime, including all three of West Virginia's scores after regulation, and the Mountaineers came from 17 points down to beat No. 19 Louisville 46-44 in triple overtime on Saturday.
With fellow freshman Jason Gwaltney out for a month with a knee injury, Slaton got the workload for the Mountaineers in his second career start, finishing with 188 yards on 31 carries.
Slaton put the Mountaineers (6-1, 3-0 Big East) ahead with a short TD run in the third overtime and backup quarterback Pat White, who entered the game after Adam Bednarik got hurt in the fourth quarter, found Dorrell Jalloh with a 2-point conversion pass for a 46-38 lead.
