West Virginia holds off Maryland

Morgantown, WV (Sports Network) - Geno Smith passed for 338 yards and three touchdowns -- all to Tavon Austin -- on 30-of-43 efficiency, as the eighth- ranked West Virginia Mountaineers topped the Maryland Terrapins, 31-21, at Puskar Stadium.

Austin led all receivers with 179 yards on 13 receptions for the Mountaineers (3-0), who showed no signs of slowing down after a 30-point win over James Madison last week.

Perry Hills also totaled three TD passes, including a pair to Stefon Diggs, to back a 20-completion, 305-yard performance for the Terrapins (2-2), who have lost two in a row. The true freshman was sacked five times, lost a fumble which was returned for a touchdown, and was also intercepted once.

Diggs ended with 113 yards on three catches, and Marcus Leak contributed a touchdown grab in defeat.
