The ESPN Network cameras caught an interesting glimpse of WVU kicker/punter Pat McAfee Saturday. He’d tried to finesse a punt inside the 5-yard line, but the ball was bobbled by Boogie Allen and rolled into the end zone for a touchback.

McAfee stood in the middle of the field, put his hands on his hips and then snapped off the strap on his helmet. The camera got in tight.

“My brother said I looked devastated,” McAfee said. “Like somebody just killed my dog.”

Well, there was that, which was entertaining, but also a fairly strong mustache that was doing a good job of standing out despite his fair facial hair. It remained Tuesday night in his appearance at player interviews.

“It’s a rally ‘stache,” McAfee said.

After the loss at Colorado in which McAfee missed a short field goal in overtime, McAfee and offensive lineman John Bradshaw committed themselves to turning things around after a 1-2 start.

“We’re doing it until we lose or I miss,” McAfee said.

The Mountaineers have won five in a row and McAfee has made six field goals and 17 extra points in a row while setting a few records along the way. That’s all well and good for McAfee, but he was most pleased with the success of his Halloween costume.
