It's time for WVU Big East football...and who knows how much longer we can say that with expansion news swirling out of control. Last year UCONN beat WVU for the first time ever, and you have to imagine that is in the minds of Geno and company. Our pre-game prediction...
The running and passing game both show up, but a few special teams problems read their ugly heads. Still, the Mountaineers are too much to handle for the struggling Huskies.
WVU wins 37 - 17.
Story lines to watch during the game.
Can WVU put together a solid game in all phases?
The passing game is solid, but both the running game and specifically the special teams play has been suspect. There's also some room for improvement from the young defense. They created some turnovers last week, and need to continue that trend.
Will the fans show up?
Coach Holgorsen called out the fans last week in a very candid manner. Do the fans listen, or does the lecture backfire on the coach? We suspect the fans will be out in full force. Most people appreciate honesty, and Holgorsen had a point. Not to mention, his questioning of WVU as an elite program was bound to stoke the fire.
How good is UCONN?
The Huskies have a 2-3 record, but they've been competitive. Will UCONN pull it together?
