Three of WVU's touchdowns versus the Tar Heels came via the pass in a 31-30 win. The Mountaineers were co-BIG EAST champions in 2010 and also reached the 2010 Konica Minolta Gator Bowl.
During Galloway's three seasons at West Virginia, the Mountaineers went 27-12 with three consecutive 9-4 seasons. In 2010, the Mountaineers ranked second in the BIG EAST in both passing offense and total offense while leading the league in passing efficiency. WVU receiver Jock Sanders ranked second in the BIG EAST in receiving in both 2009 and 2010.
Considered one of the nation’s top recruiters, Galloway was named the 2010 BIG EAST Recruiter of the Year by ESPN.com.

Chris Givens was named first team All-ACC after leading the conference in receiving yards per game (102.3). Givens also set the school record for receiving yards in a season with 1,330 on 83 catches and caught nine touchdowns. He was picked by St. Louis – now Los Angeles – in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
