The West Virginia Mountaineers defense has thoroughly impressed us so far this year. For conference only, non-garbage time drives, the WVU defense gives up the fewest points (1.33), touchdowns (15.5%), and available yards (33.9%) per drive in the league.
Here’s the bad news: The league’s top two teams offensively in those categories are what is left on the schedule.
Bad News (Sooners)
The Oklahoma Sooners are becoming notorious for their early conference losses, but they always seem to pick up steam as the season progresses. Lincoln Riley is 14-0 in the month of November and WVU is 0-8 against the Sooners since joining the conference.
