Only twice in the WVU football team’s history has it went on the road and beat a top 10 opponent. Plus, the two times it previously happened, the Mountaineers were facing out-of-conference teams. This time around, West Virginia has a chance to knock off a top 10 Big 12 team, which will help it climb to the top of the conference standings.
The previous two wins over top 10 teams came against Penn State in 1954 and Oklahoma in 1982. So, it’s been 35 years since the Mountaineers have pulled off a win with these kind of epic proportions.
