Dana Holgorsen has agreed to a five-year extension that will keep him at West Virginia through 2021, the school announced Saturday.The contract is worth $18.6 million plus incentives. Holgorsens 2017 salary, which at $2.8 million was the third-lowest in the Big 12, rises to $3.5 million plus incentives.I said back in the spring that Coach Holgorsen and I were focused on nothing but a successful 2016 football season, and I think weve proven that, athletic director Shane Lyons said. Now that the regular season has come to a close, the time is right to finalize a new contract for Dana and keep our program going in a positive direction.In his sixth year at West Virginia, Holgorsen is 46-30. The No. 16-ranked Mountaineers (10-2) came away with the 24-21 victory against Baylor on Saturday.As the Big 12s third-place team, the Mountaineers are expected to receive a berth to the Russell Athletic Bowl against an ACC team, most likely Miami. WVU has gone to bowl games in five of Holgorsens six seasons in Morgantown.I am proud of our team and what we have accomplished this year by being only the ninth squad in school history to win 10 games in a season, Holgorsen said. Going forward, my focus is squarely on recruiting and the upcoming bowl game. I strongly believe that our football program is in position to be successful for a very long time.ESPNs Brett McMurphy contributed to this report.Carnell Lake Youth Jersey .

The victory moved the Crimson Tide to 10-1, its best start over the first 11 games since 2000.We are honored to be here. This is a great cause for a great coach and a great man, Alabama head coach Kristy Curry said of Harrington, who was the head coach at Northwest Florida State before passing away in a car accident two years ago.

Her six blocks ties for the third most in a single game in program history. Also in double figures was freshman Jordan Lewis with 11 and juniors Quanetria Bolton and Hannah Cook with 10 apiece. Junior Mercedes Rogers led the Cowgirls with 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals.Alabama held McNeese State scoreless over the first four minutes of the game, allowing the Tide to build a nine-point lead.

That was as close as the Cowgirls would get as the Tide took over down the stretch, pushing its lead back out to double digits and taking a 58-46 advantage into the final period.In the fourth, it was all Alabama as the Tide scored 26 points and led by as many as 22.Alabama shot 38.5 percent (15-39) in the first half before turning it around in the second, where the Tide hit 57.1 percent (16-28) of its attempts to finish at 46.3 percent (31-67) for the game. McNeese State finished at 36.5 percent (23-63) overall. The Tide won the battle of the boards, 48-32, and outscored the Cowgirls, 48-22, in the paint.At one point in the third quarter we just put it together and willed ourselves, added Curry. NeNe really gave us a boost off the bench. And AK (Ashley Knight). I mean what can you say? To finish with 16 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks in 23 minutes was just phenomenal. Our bench, from NeNe, to AK, to Coco (Knight), was big, big, big for us tonight. Meo was unstoppable. It was just a good all-around team effort.Alabama closes out the Patrick Harrington Classic on Tuesday when it takes on UTEP at 7 p.m. CT. ' ' '
