The 1972 WVU football season ended with an 8-3 record and an invitation to the Peach Bowl. The bowl game is best forgotten, but the regular season was one of Bobby Bowden's finest. The three losses were to Stanford on the road by six, the annual loss to Penn State, and a tough 3-point loss to Temple up in Philadelphia.
Pitt was pretty bad that year, only going 1-10, and the Mountaineers prevailed up in Pittsburgh by 18 points.
The Peach Bowl was horrific, a 49-13 route by Lou Holtz's NC State team. It was so bad the highlight reel doesn't have ANY highlights from the game, just a mention at the end that WVU got the invite. Lots of great regular season highlights of Kerry Marbury and Danny Buggs, though.
