Did you know that WVU this season has set the all-time NCAA record for scheduling games with universities that share their name with the city that harbors the main campus of the school? They are Villanova, Syracuse, Auburn, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Pittsburgh.
Even the SEC can’t claim that.
Nov. 1: Connecticut at Rentschler Field in Storrs
WVU absolutely pounded UConn by a 66-21 score last year, so it is safe to say that there will be a hint of revenge in the crisp New England air that night.
Connecticut returns 17 starters from an otherwise 9-4 team that skulked out of Morgantown with the proverbial tail squarely between the legs, so they remember the loss well.
Unfortunately for West Virginia, the Huskies have the tools across the board necessary to make it uncomfortable for the Mountaineers. They run, they pass, and they defend, all with experienced players.
Unfortunately for UConn, all that experience cannot counter the West Virginia speed on both sides of the ball.
Connecticut’s deep stable of running backs are no match for the Mountaineers' aggressive, mobile linebackers, and Pat White will have his left arm in launch mode as his fleet wideouts roll and smoke the Husky pass D.
This one is a WIN, with a lot of points on the mountain mama side.
Nov. 8: Cincinnati in Morgantown
Last year’s game was a tight one, as The Rodster displayed his ability to choke, allowing the Bearcats the opportunity to pull a home upset. His charges held on for a 28-23 victory, but watch out, Wolverines: Rich has the propensity to lose those he is supposed to win.
