I don't know. I'm beginning to think we need to score 30 to win. Our D is stout but it's not like we held everyone to the teens and WVU put up points against a lot of teams, including a Bama defense. I'll be a homer and say we win 30-24

I have no idea about this game.
WVU has last a couple starters off its defense due to injury. Also had a OL get a DUI. Is he set to play?
If Mizzou's offense is bad like last year, Mizzou loses this game.
But if they offense approaches average Mizzou can win.

WVU can put points up. But, if you look at the scores from last year as an indicator, they didn't fare as well against P5 teams.

Lost to Oklahoma - 44-24
Lost to OK State - 33-26
Lost to TCU - 40-10
Lost to K State - 24-23

And I have more faith in out defense than any of these teams.

Word from many WVU fans is that their QB Skylar Howard turns the ball over. If we stuff the run and force the pass game, pressure the QB into bad throws, this could be a low scoring affair.

I know I know, what ifs.

Bama defense

But they didn't play Bama???

They did play TCU and scored 10 points. Odom with this much time to prepare and having Cross on staff gives me plenty of confidence.

Looking at scores from Big 12 games really doesn't translate that well IMO. Just a completely different style of play.
