The Mountaineers are coming off a close victory against the TCU Horned Frogs with a final score of 20-17. The game showcased a balanced attack with points scored in each quarter and a defense that held strong when it mattered most, especially during the fourth quarter where they shut out their opponents.


Looking back at previous games, we see some trends emerging for the Mountaineers. Against Oklahoma State Cowboys, despite putting up solid numbers through the air with 307 passing yards and maintaining possession for nearly 30 minutes, they fell short by seven points. The rushing game struggled to gain traction with only 26 yards on 22 carries.


In their matchup against Kansas State Wildcats, however, there was an uptick in performance leading to a four-point win. The offense was more efficient in converting red zone opportunities into scores and demonstrated an improved third-down conversion rate compared to previous outings.


Unfortunately, consistency has been an issue as seen against Texas Tech Red Raiders where turnovers played a significant role in their defeat; four turnovers including two lost fumbles were too much to overcome despite racking up impressive total yardage of 559.


As we approach this next game, it's crucial for West Virginia to capitalize on scoring opportunities and minimize mistakes that have previously cost them dearly. Ball security will be paramount along with defensive resilience throughout all quarters.


The upcoming match is scheduled for November 29th at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas at 21:15 (UTC). Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN network channel number 206 as both teams battle it out under Friday night lights.
