Chasing Oklahoma: How can West Virginia take down conference champ?
Oklahoma is the king of Big 12 football, with 10 league titles since 2001, including the past two and the first 9-0 regular season of conference play in Big 12 history last fall. This week, we’re looking at the contenders to dethrone Oklahoma in 2017.
We’ve covered Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas. The series concludes with West Virginia.
How the Mountaineers can beat OU: They can start by avoiding turnovers. West Virginia lost three fumbles and threw one interception, often at the most inopportune moments, during its 56-28 loss to the Sooners in a Week 12, snowy meeting of top-10 teams in Morgantown last year that amounted to a huge disappointment for West Virginia.
