FWIW, locked in WVU ML +105.
WVU D ranked #17 in ppg (20.7), #36 in rush yards allowed per game (4.0 ypc)
Texas D ranked #93 in ppg (33.2), #80 in rush yards allowed per game (4.1 ypc)
WVU will run, run, run.....Holgerson will have a solid offensive plan coming in, and WVU will be able to overcome a max of 2 turnovers. Any more than that is trouble.
This one may not be close.....the end for Coach Strong is near, and with a blowout loss Texas can fire him at 5-5 and go interim while trying to raise money to get Les Miles.
WVU by 14....and if UW gets sold under 7 (and that may happen with Gameday likely to drone on and on about USC's "talent" for 3 hours in the AM) the UW becomes a big play....potential to roll up that score.
In any case, best of luck. Hopefully WVU won't need any.

This is a good spot. I am comfortable. It won't be a blowout so there will be tense moments but this game is fundamentally different than the OK/Tex game.
And that of course, has to do with the spread.
We not only don't have to deal with one, we get two points...
Two points that Texas has proven it is more than willing to give away with missed extra points or blocked extra points returned for scores.
If you are watching Texas games (I watch them all) and you are confident heading into this game, you are foolish.
Texas Tech came out and tore them a new one on the first drive of the game. They did the same on the second drive. Up and down the field like a knife through butter. The secondary is still a disaster. OK made it look terrible and fortunately backdoored that game for all the Texas homers.
WV won't need to. Solid passing offense with a solid running offense and solid on both sides on D.
Not spectacular but enough to get the job done in a close game.
Charlie Strong is not going 8-3 folks. This is no 8-3 team. It's WV now or TCU later.
And I say it's WV now for my money (And maybe even TCU later).
So many holes. So many mistakes.
I love discipline. That is what I see in WVU. Well-coached. Steady.
Texas? Please.
And the previous game where Foreman runs to the moon for 310+?
Give me a break. I watched the plays. There were runs where defenders weren't within 5 yards of him.
Usually that happens on a pass. Tech is so bad at Run D it happens on their runs.
I wouldn't want to back a Texas team that just had it's RB have the Red Sea open for it. He wasn't even challenged. Almost broke the ALL-TIME Texas RB record for yards.
You think that's happening Saturday or even close to it.
Wake up! Throw some cold water on your face. Watch these games and recognize the flaws. The flaws, the lack of discipline will do the Longhorns in. You'll see.

Texas fans are just waiting to throw the towel in and move on from Strong....IF WVU can get something going early the grumblings will be audible in Austin.
Not sure this one is going to be close. Big time fold potential from the burnt orange.

So you're on the Longhorns you idiot?
Tell me you are on Texas so I have something to cheer for.
Please.
Still using the word 'Libtard' like a 4th grader. They'll never grow up.
