The Pirates are for Real this season

This is the NCAA football news of the weekend:
The Pirates have done it again!

They beat then No. 8 West Virginia by a large margin: 24-3. If anyone (including me) says that they were just lucky last week beating (then) No. 15 ranked Virginia Tech by 27-24 thanks for a last minute block conversion, now they (or we) can all shut up. You don't beat West Virginia by chance, not by that large margin.

After these two wins against ranked teams, the Pirates landed their first top 25 spots (14th in AP and 20th in USA Today) in 9 years. Last time they did that was in 1999 when they beat Miami Hurricanes (Florida) after the devastating Hurricane Fran flooded Greenville.
