Morning Mashup - 9/1

Your morning look back, around the headlines and into the future.

On This Date:

- West Virginia has an all-time record of 3-1. The biggest victory was likely the 2007 season opener where the Mountaineers dropped 62 points on Western Michigan.

- In 1963, former kicker Paul Woodside was born. During his career, he made 101-of-103 extra points and 74-of-93 field goals for a total of 323 points, good for third on the all-time list.

- In 1958, former wideout Cedric Thomas was born. An oft-overlooked receiver, Thomas finished his career with 1,930 yards and 23 touchdowns. When he graduated, both of those totals were good for first on the all-time list. The yardage has since dropped - he's now eighth - but his touchdown record is still intact.
