The week after a bye week, the Bears will travel to West Virginia on a Thursday night to face off against the West Virginia Mountaineers. A late October night game in Morgantown could be brisk, and Baylor will need to be at its best to defeat one of the dark horse favorites to win the Big 12.
The story of West Virginia on both sides of the ball is strong talent, but lack of depth. West Virginia returns star quarterback Will Grier, who fueled the team to a near top 10 offense before getting injured last year.
