MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia University officials will study videotape and photographs to identify rowdy football fans who ignored pre-game pleas and set fires in the streets to celebrate the Mountaineers' 28-7 upset of No. 3 Virginia Tech.
Fire and police officials had spent two days before the game removing garbage and couches from residents' front porches. And this week, football coach Rich Rodriguez left recorded messages on students' answering machines, taped a video message shown on Mountaineer Field's scoreboard and made other requests through the media, imploring fans to act responsibly at Wednesday night's nationally televised game.
