COLUMBIA, Mo. — The good news? At least West Virginia will dodge Wyoming on this year’s schedule.
The bad news may be the majority of what follows in 2019.
Neal Brown and the Mountaineers were dealt a heaping scoop of reality at Faurot Field Saturday, getting spanked 38-7 at the hands of Missouri. It is West Virginia’s most lopsided defeat since losing 55-14 to No. 4 Kansas State on Oct. 20, 2012.
Missouri was most assuredly not in the Top 10 entering Saturday’s game. The host Tigers emphatically rebounded from a season-opening 37-31 loss at Wyoming, while West Virginia played like its season-opening win over James Madison may have to be savored a bit longer than anyone would hope.
