3 Storylines to Watch For In WVU Football's Week 8 Clash With UCF

A pair of winless teams in conference play will square off when the West Virginia Mountaineers (2-4, 0-3) visit UCF (3-3, 0-3) in Orlando on Saturday afternoon.

Needless to say, this season has not been without its challenges for WVU football head coach Rich Rodriguez, who is back at the helm in Morgantown after abruptly leaving the program in 2007. Aside from a comeback victory over Pitt in the Backyard Brawl, this season has been painful for several reasons, including significant injuries and blowout losses. Through three games to open Big 12 play, West Virginia has been outscored by a total of 127-48.
