MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — CJ Donaldson rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown before getting hurt as West Virginia beat Pittsburgh 17-6 in the ‘Backyard Brawl.’ The Mountaineers scored 10 points off of two Pittsburgh interceptions. Donaldson was hurt in the fourth quarter and West Virginia quarterback Garrett Greene was injured in the first quarter. Neither returned to the game. Nicco Marchiol came on for Greene to throw a short touchdown pass for the Mountaineers. Pittsburgh settled for two short first-half field goals after reaching the West Virginia 20. The Panthers were held to their fewest points in the series since a 34-0 loss in 1996.
