West Virginia vs. Texas Early Observations
West Virginia has just covered one time in their last seven games as an underdog.
From AthlonSports: "This game will likely come down to one big question: How will Texas’ defense handle last week’s disappointment? Coordinator Todd Orlando and his unit took fire this week after getting worked over by Oklahoma State last Saturday. UT’s defenders often appeared confused and off-kilter, culminating in a late meltdown by defensive end Breckyn Hager. Expect a more focused effort from the D versus the Mountaineers on Saturday in Austin. A West Virginia turnover (Mountaineers have committed 11 in seven games) will likely make the difference in a nail-biting win for the home team. Prediction: Texas 30, West Virginia 27"
West Virginia So Far
From ESPN.com: "Welcome back, Will Grier. And welcome back to the West Virginia offense. Less than two weeks after Grier threw for just 100 yards during a 30-14 loss to Iowa State, he and the Mountaineers torched the Baylor defense to the tune of a 58-14 final score. It took just three plays and 50 seconds before Grier found Greg Jennings Jr. for a 53-yard touchdown. Four times West Virginia would score on drives that lasted less than one minute. Meanwhile, Baylor's offense was turned inside out as quarterback Charlie Brewer couldn't handle the blitz and threw three interceptions. As long as West Virginia keeps playing like this and Grier & Co. put points on the board, the Mountaineers will have something to say about the Big 12 race with a month of November that will feature games against both Texas and Oklahoma."
Texas So Far
Texas was essentially knocked out of the playoff picture, as Oklahoma State built a 17-point halftime lead before holding on for the win.
