Why Kansas Will Win

How did Kansas beat the Mountaineers the first time around? The defense dominated from the perimeter.

The Jayhawks couldn’t make a thing from three, either, but they were better from the field, they got on a big second half run, and they were able to keep down a middling O.

West Virginia turns the ball over way too much, KU blocks everything on the inside, and it’s good enough on the boards to not get hammered by the always-active team that makes up for its mistakes with hustle plays and …

Why West Virginia Will Win

Offensive rebounds.

That’s it. That’s the game. WVU leads the nation with over 15 offensive boards per game. Kansas might be second-best in the Big 12 on the glass – behind the Mountaineers – but it lost the battle on the boards by 14 in Lawrence.

This is a whole difference WVU team at home. All five of its losses are on the road, going 15-0 so far. Everyone has a home court advantage, but for an energy team like this, it’s a whole different animal when the big boys have to come to Morgantown.

What’s Going To Happen

The rebounds will be all the difference.

This is a hot Kansas team that’s doing a great job of battling in relatively low-scoring games – the defense is getting it done over the offense – but this is when the offensive talent needs to shine through.

Instead, the Mountaineers will force the big mistakes, they’ll stop everything from three, and they’ll dominate the rebounding margin to do just enough to pull off the giant win.

West Virginia (18-4) vs. Oklahoma (14-8) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why West Virginia Will Win

Rebounds. West Virginia can go get them, and Oklahoma can’t.

The Mountaineers are decent from the field, and they can’t shoot from the outside, but they dominate on the offensive boards and clean up a whole lot of messes. On the flip side, the Sooners are okay on the boards, but they’re dead last in the Big 12 in offensive rebounds.

For a team that struggles to score at times – it hasn’t hit 70 points in six of its last eight games – OU will have a whole slew of problems against this WVU D that doesn’t quit.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Oklahoma Will Win

If you believe in patterns, this is Sooners’ game.

They’ve followed up a loss with a win over the last seven games, and they’re due for a win again, partly because they’re at home. They’ve lost their last four games on the road, and won seven of the last eight at home – only losing to Kansas.

On the flip side, the Mountaineers have lost three of their last four road games. If the OU defense can hold its own on the defensive boards, and the offense can get up early and make WVU need to hit from the outside, it’ll keep the game at its tempo.

What’s Going To Happen

Being at home will mean everything for the Sooners.

This will be a low-scoring fight with just the right formula for OU to pull this off. West Virginia can’t hit free throws, but it leads the Big 12 in free throws made because it’s always on the line. Oklahoma is second in the nation in fewest personal fouls.

The Sooners will win on the line in the clutch.

West Virginia (4-7) vs. TCU (5-6) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why West Virginia Will Win

The Mountaineers might be on a brutal run of six losses in its last seven games, but they’ve at least been interesting with more offensive pop once Jarret Doege took over.

The former Bowling Green quarterback hit Kansas State for three touchdowns in the win two weeks ago, and threw for over 300 yards with just a little more happening – but not enough – in last week’s loss to Oklahoma State.

Most of all, he’s not making any big mistakes, and that’s big against a TCU defense with eight picks in the last five games.

On the other side, the West Virginia defense has been able to do just enough to keep the team in games. It’s getting defense pressure up front, and the TCU offensive line is struggling in pass protection for an air attack coming off a 65-yard day against Oklahoma.

Scoring matters. TCU has lost the last five times when it failed to hit the 30-point mark – the Mountaineers haven’t allowed more than 20 in three of the last four. But …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why TCU Will Win

West Virginia isn’t scoring.

Doege has been a plus, but there’s absolutely no running game and the downfield passing game isn’t good enough, currently ranking last in the Big 12 in yards per completion.

Yes, TCU is struggling when the offense isn’t hitting 30, but it’s far better equipped and far better when it’s able to take over by moving the chains. Time of possession is almost everything to the Horned Frogs, able to hang on to the ball for over 33 minutes a game.

West Virginia doesn’t control the clock or the tempo.

With no running game, the midrange passes have to keep things moving, but the Horned Frogs are terrific on third downs on both sides of the ball, WVU is dead last in the Big 12 in third down conversions, and this should be a bit of a grind.

At home, and with a bowl game on the line, TCU should have everything turned up a few notches, however …

What’s Going To Happen

West Virginia was able to beat the best team in the Big 12 in time of possession – Kansas State – and it’s going to give the Horned Frogs a fight.

TCU’s defense, though, will keep the Mountaineers to under 50 rushing yards, Doege and the passing game won’t be able to move the chains, and it’ll be the sixth win needed for the home side – even if there’s nothing pretty about it.

Oklahoma State (7-3) vs. West Virginia (4-6) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

West Virginia just doesn’t have the offense to keep up the pace.

Even with the issues at quarterback – more on that in a moment – the Oklahoma State offense should be able keep the production going with an attack that averages close to 500 yards per game thanks to the brilliant, Heisman-worthy season from Chuba Hubbard.

The West Virginia run defense hasn’t been all that bad, but most teams are spending all of their time throwing the ball. Here comes Hubbard, who’s at 1,726 yards and 20 scores, with 121 yards in every game against an FBS team.

He’s 274 yards away from 2,000 with two games to go, but more than that for this week, he needs to hit a few early home runs to help take the pressure off the passing game.

West Virginia? It has the second-worst ground game in college football, and the passing game isn’t nearly efficient enough to make a dent if this gets into a shootout.

The OSU passing game will be just fine, too, against a mediocre secondary, but …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why West Virginia Will Win

Oklahoma State QB Spencer Sanders is out for the year with a thumb injury.

This, along with the loss of star WR Tylan Wallace a few weeks ago, takes down the Cowboy passing game a few notches. Former Hawaii starter Dru Brown is a ready-made backup to keep the machine going, but it’s a step back rom a starter in the midst of a massive statistical season.

The Mountaineer pass rush is just good enough to keep the heat on the new starter and make him press a bit. There might be a whole slew of problems with the WVU D, but it’s generating sacks.

On the other side, this is the week for the West Virginia offense to finally start to open it up a bit.

The passing game might not be efficient, and it might be having problems with its consistency, but everyone is getting fat on the OSU secondary. The Cowboys have allowed 250 yards or more in six of its last seven games and 273 yards per game overall.

Bowling Green transfer Jarret Doege stepped into the starting role last week against Kansas State and threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns in the stunning win. Now there’s something to play for.

Win this week, and win next week at TCU, and the Mountaineers are in a bowl game.

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

This might be a flaky West Virginia team. but it’s been playing better over the last few weeks. It pushed Baylor and shocked Kansas State, but can it win its final home game of the year and set up the TCU game for a shot at a bowl?

Here comes Hubbard.

Brown will be just fine. He’ll ball out and keep the Cowboy offensive moving  with enough third down conversions to keep the attack going, but it’ll be a big day for the OSU ground game to take over.

Oklahoma State’s defense will give up over 250 passing yards, but it won’t be quite enough to keep up.

West Virginia (3-6) vs. Kansas State (6-3) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why West Virginia Will Win

Can the Mountaineers somehow get hot for a game?

The Kansas State defense has been good, the offense has been great at controlling games, and overall, the team is playing the style it’s supposed to, and West Virginia has to bust through that.

It starts with not letting the Kansas State offense to get comfortable. The Mountaineer offense doesn’t have enough positive things happening to keep up if this gets into any sort of a scoring fest, and it’s miserable on third downs, but the D has to use its excellent pass rush to at least make Skylar Thompson hurry his throws.

He’s been able to hit on his deeper passes a bit more lately, but he’s also been inconsistent. He was never able to find a passing groove against TCU or Oklahoma State, and he needs the running attack to work – James Gilbert and Jordon Brown haven’t been healthy.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Kansas State Will Win

West Virginia just won’t have enough to keep the chains moving.

It’s dead last in the Big 12 in third down conversions, and the Wildcats are third in the nation in third down stops. The whole goal of the K-State offense is total control.

Control the clock, control the tempo, and control the mistakes.

The offense doesn’t turn the ball over enough to matter – West Virginia desperately needs easy chances to score – and it’s great at grinding out drives. Along with all of WVU’s other main problems, it doesn’t go on long marches and it doesn’t move the chains.

There’s no fear of a Mountaineer downfield passing game, and there’s no concern of a big comeback. The Wildcats might end this if it can get up by two scores early – they’ll just sit on the ball and grind out the clock from there.

[lawrence-related id=498866]

What’s Going To Happen

West Virginia isn’t getting better.

Its offense hasn’t been able to find anything to consistently click, it’s struggling way too much to come up with 14 points, and it’s not coming up with any clutch plays.

Kansas State will be methodical, it’ll get up early, and it’ll work. It’s not going to have to do anything crazy to get out of this with an uninspiring – but relatively easy – victory.
