West Virginia football dropped a heartbreaking game on Tuesday night to No. 25 Memphis in the Frisco Bowl. Here's a look at the 42-37 loss by the numbers.


534: The total number of yards tallied by the WVU offense in the loss. It was the fourth time in 13 games the team gained 450+ yards this season.

474: The total yards gained by Memphis in the Frisco Bowl. It was another in a long line of struggles for the WVU defense in 2024, marking the 7th game on the 13-game slate they allowed 400+ yards.

423: The total number of yards gained offensively by quarterback Garrett Greene in his final WVU game -- he led the team in passing with 328 yards and rushing with 95 yards and contributed 3 total touchdowns in the loss.

166: The amount of receiving yards totaled on 11 catches from sophomore wideout Hudson Clement, who had one of the best receiving performances of the season for WVU as well as one of the best individual games of his career. He popped up and played a big role whenever needed for the Mountaineers.

56: The length of a second quarter touchdown scamper by Greene -- it marks the longest touchdown rush by a quarterback for the program since the heyday of Pat White, who suited up for WVU from 2005-2008.

17: The deficit which WVU fell behind to Memphis in the first half -- WVU would outscore the Tigers 37-25 the rest of the way but could not overcome trailing 17-0 early.

4: The number of losing seasons during the Neal Brown era of WVU football -- though he didn't coach in the game that secured it for the Mountaineers on Tuesday. Out of his six seasons in Morgantown, WVU finished with four records below .500 -- 2019 (5-7), 2021 (6-7), 2022 (5-7), and 2024 (6-7). His two winning seasons were a 6-4 record in 2020 during the COVID year, and a 9-4 finish in 2023.
