BYU football takes West Virginia packing for country roads in decisive win

In a game where BYU was scripted to handle their battered West Virginia adversaries, Kalani Sitake's side never trailed as the Cougars rolled to an easy win over the Mountaineers.

The scoreboard read 38-24 as the clock hit 0:00, and for a game where the Cougars coughed up possession three separate times, that's an encouraging indicator of where the program stands overall. West Virginia is a team tormented with injuries and a squad that entered this game as 20-point underdogs. Coming off back-to-back brutal defeats in Big 12 play, this third loss to BYU is a suckerpunch right after absorbing two haymakers.
