Collegiate career

2005

White passed up the MLB career to try football. He sat out his freshman season as a redshirt while Rasheed Marshall started. Patrick began the following season as a co-starter along with Adam Bednarik. That continued until the seventh game of the season against Louisville. With WVU down 24-7, White came in to replace an injured Bednarik and led the Mountaineers to a 46-44, triple overtime victory. With Patrick now the starting quarterback, the Mountaineers won the rest of their games to win the Big East Conference title and earn a bid to the 2006 Sugar Bowl against the Georgia Bulldogs. One of White's best games in the tenure before the bowl game, was against Pittsburgh in the Backyard Brawl rivalry game. He threw for 41 yards and 1 touchdown, and ran for 220 yards and 2 touchdowns in the 45-13 win. White rushed for 77 yards and threw for 120 yards and a touchdown in their 38-35 win against the Bulldogs in the bowl game, often called the greatest win in Mountaineer football history. That season he passed for 828 yards and 8 touchdowns. He also rushed for 952 yards and 7 touchdowns, which was then a record for most rushing yards in a season by a quarterback [1] until it was broken the next season by White.
