West Virginia football entered their matchup with No. 22 Houston on Saturday as 13.5-point underdogs, winless in Big 12 play, and requiring four consecutive wins to close the season to keep their bowl hopes alive. And despite expectations, the Mountaineers were able to beat the odds and keep dreaming of postseason play as they upset the Cougars and walked out of TDECU Stadium with a 45-35 win.
“The season has had a lot of up and downs, but I think that this game was kind of a testament to who we are as a team," linebacker Chase Wilson told the Mountaineer Sports Network after the game.
