WVU defense flies under the radar in opening win - Dominion Post MORGANTOWN — The focus of the season opener against Robert Morris was on Rich Rodriguez’s return and who the starting quarterback was going...
Cam Vaughn - Impressive debut at WVU Vaughn caught 7 of 8 targets for 126 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-3 victory against Robert Morris.
Impact Vaughn balled out in his Mountaineers debut with a 100-yard performance and an impressive 46-yard touchdown catch. Vaughn entered the game with just two 100-yard receiving performances in his career, so it could be a breakout year for the player who followed his head coach to West Virginia. The Mountaineers will play at Ohio next week. The MAC opponent nearly upset Rutgers in their first game, so the game is expected to have some serious fantasy potential.

They'll have a tougher test at Ohio next week, a MAC team who nearly knocked off Rutgers in Week 1.
