Geno Smith
- Smith’s 1,728 passing yards already has him in the Top 25 (at No. 22) in West Virginia history for an entire season. That’s more than the starting quarterbacks for two of the best teams in Mountaineer history – Jake Kelchner (1,688) for the 1993 undefeated regular season team and Pat White (1,724) for the 2007 Fiesta Bowl winning squad.
- Geno Smith’s 21 total touchdowns (no extra points) through four games would place him 48th in the nation in scoring…. amongst all teams.
- Geno Smith has more passing touchdowns on 2nd down alone (11) than any entire team in the Big East this year.
- Geno Smith had more passing yards against Baylor (656) than Auburn has through five weeks of the season (579). That goes for seven other teams as well.
- Smith had more passing touchdowns against Baylor (eight) than 54 teams have had all season so far. He’s tied with another 15 teams.
- Excluding himself, Stedman Bailey’s 10 touchdowns through four games would have been tops for the Big East for the entire season last year, including bowl games.
- Speaking of those 10 touchdown receptions, that’s enough to put him in a tie for 5th for a season in West Virginia history.
- Tavon Austin’s 48 catches have him in the Top 25 for receptions in a season in WVU history, while his seven touchdowns have him in the Top 20.
- West Virginia as a team scored as many points this past Saturday (70) as Auburn has through five weeks of the season.
