A shot at momentum rolling into the bye week
The first half of the season was full of ups and downs for the Mountaineers. The 3-0 start had everyone believe the program had turned the corner, and then it was followed up by a three-game losing streak, causing everyone to enter full panic mode.
Yesterday's game against Cincinnati looked like it was going to be the same old story, but the defense was able to come up with one more stop at the end of the game, and the offense did its thing despite being backed up at their own 1-yard line. Getting a win on the road and entering the bye week at 5-3 (2-3) would give this bunch a ton of juice coming out of the break.
TCU looks to build off win over top rival
The Horned Frogs were 0-3 against Power Four opponents on the season coming into their Week 7 date with archrival Baylor. Their two lone wins were against Grambling (FCS) and Arkansas State, which is 3-4 on the season. Beating the Bears is a big deal for them, but you always have to wonder if a win like that will give them a bit of a hangover heading into their next game. It is in West Virginia's favor that the game is a noon ET start, which sure as heck beats a nighttime kick where they'll have a packed house that's juiced up.
