The West Virginia Mountaineers are nearing the end of their non-conference slate and looming ahead is a mid-week, road, night game against a traditional rival and a game that could potentially turn the tide of the 2022 season either in favor or against the embattled head coach. So, is Thursday a “must-win” for the head coach?
What’s At Stake?
7 wins, if we are being honest, is going to be almost impossible if the team is unable to find a way to beat the Hokies this coming Thursday. If West Virginia falls to 1-3, they would need to finish the season 6-2, with at least two wins coming from the ranked teams currently left on the schedule: #22 Texas Longhorns, #17 Baylor Bears, #6 Oklahoma Sooners, #9 Oklahoma State.
