The Mountaineers were unable t prevent the Cougars from gaining several chunk plays in the loss.
The West Virginia Mountaineers suffered their third consecutive loss to begin Big 12 Conference play, falling to 2-4 (0-3). The 38-24 loss to BYU was characterized not only by an inefficient offense once again for the Mountaineers, but a defense that gave up numerous explosive plays to a BYU offense that largely did what they wanted to in the victory.
