WVU sports success (jan 18, 1980 – dec 5, 1990)
Description:
A major culture shift at WVU happened between these years, powered mainly through the success of the Mountaineer football team coached by Don Nehlen. WVU had significant wins against No. 9 Oklahoma in 1982 and No. 4 Boston College in 1984; the year BC’s quarterback Doug Flutie won the Heisman trophy. WVU played in its only national championship ever in the 1998-99 season, but lost to Notre Dame.
