Nov. 12 @ West Virginia Mountaineers

West Virginia is in the middle of the Big 12 pack in most offensive categories. The Mountaineers are the fourth best scoring team in the conference, but they are last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, giving up an average of 31.0 points a game.

West Virginia has a pair of running backs who average around 75 yards per game. Transfer QB JT Daniels leads the offense, and he has a talented receiver in Bryce Ford-Wheaton. The Mountaineers’ defense hasn’t been as bad as Oklahoma’s this season, but the Sooners should be able to move the ball and put up points. The defense that plays the best is going to decide this game.

West Virginia 35, Oklahoma 30
