West Virginia and Oklahoma have this long history of playing good football games when both teams are strong. Who can forget last season’s 59-56 shootout where the Mountaineers came up just short?
This seasons, the odds makers do not expect a close game. Oklahoma is currently 33.5-point favorites in this game. The Sooners are currently the No. 5 team in the nation and have a Heisman candidate in Jalen Hurts at quarterback. On paper, this is a one-sided game but can West Virginia keep things close?
History is not on the Mountaineers side. Oklahoma has won four out of the last five meetings by double-digits.
