Thanks Pat

Watching the final minutes of West Virginia's 35-21 victory at Louisville something became very apparent ... Pat White's days as the electrifying quarterback of the Mountaineers is almost over.

Enjoy each snap WVU fans. White, who had a record-setting day against the Cardinals, has just two regular season games remaining and a bowl game to be named. With a little luck, White could be playing for his third BCS bowl victory and a fourth consecutive postseason win.

It has been a pleasure to watch Pat the past four seasons. The memories are special and I hope there are a few more.

Saturday was just another chapter as White ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns to give him 4,292 yards for his career, breaking the record of 4,289 set by former Missouri quarterback Brad Smith between 2002-05.

He also eclipsed another record Saturday as he added two passing touchdowns to bring his career total for TD accounted for to 98, surpassing the Big East record of 96 held by former Syracuse quarterback Donovan McNabb of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Thanks Pat. Let's hope there's a little more magic left over the next three games.
