RAIDERNATION!!! One of my favorite RAIDERS, The Hoss Man, Jeff Hostetler!! West Virginia: Hostetler's first game as a Mountaineer was a 41-27 win over the #6 Oklahoma Sooners, when he threw for four touchdowns and 321 yards. The upset victory earned Hostetler Offensive Player of the Week honors from Sports Illustrated. Another big win that '82 season was a week later against the University of Maryland Terrapins, who were led by Boomer Esiason. The Mountaineers won 19–18 against the Top 10 ranked Terps. The Terps lost the game on a two-point conversion, while Hostetler threw for 285 yards and a touchdown. Hostetler led the Mountaineers to the 1982 Gator Bowl, where they lost to Florida State 31–12. Hostetler totaled 1,916 yards with ten touchdown passes that season. Los Angeles Raiders: During his four years with the Raiders, Hostetler was voted to his only Pro Bowl, in 1994 but after leading the Raiders to a 9-7 record, the team missed the playoffs. Hostetler also led the Raiders to an impressive 42-24 playoff win over the Denver Broncos in the 1993 season, throwing for 294 yards and three touchdowns in the last NFL playoff game played in Los Angeles. In 1995 he led the Raiders to an impressive 8-2 start but a shoulder injury kept him out for all but the final game of the season. The Raiders lost their final six games and finished 8-8. #WVU #hoss #westvirginia #mountaineers #raiders #raidernation #walmart #hossfoundation #losangelesraiders #oaklandraiders #football #indination #talnts #NFL #NCAA #quarterback #silverandblack (at Walmart Morgantown - Four H Camp Rd)
