We knew coming into this season that there would be some growing pains under the new coaching staff, but this Red Raider team has proven to be a feisty bunch that has gone through the gauntlet of five consecutive ranked opponents and finds themselves in prime position to finish out this year with another bowl appearance.
Heading into this West Virginia game, the Red Raiders shouldn’t have any trouble moving the ball. The Mountaineers secondary ranks in the bottom of the nation in terms of passing yards allowed and is beatable at all levels. In the running game the Mountaineers haven’t faced many opponents that like to pound the rock so the yardage allowed is low, but they’ve allowed ten touchdowns so far and are not strong their either.
