Chasing Oklahoma: What's keeping West Virginia from taking down OU?

This week, we're running a series on the Big 12 teams capable of dethroning defending conference champ Oklahoma next season.

We continue the series with the West Virginia Mountaineers.

How they can beat OU: The answer to this question has escaped West Virginia since joining the Big 12 in 2012. Oklahoma and Kansas State are the only two teams the Mountaineers have not beaten in Big 12 play.

If West Virginia hopes to change that losing trend, not turning the ball over would be a good start. The Mountaineers have 14 turnovers in four games against Oklahoma and made five during their meeting in 2015.
