ESPN College GameDay to Headed to Morgantown for TCU vs West Virginia in Week 10

Batten down your couches, folks. ESPN's College GameDay is heading to Morgantown, West Virginia, in Week 10.

Chris, Lee, Herbie and the crew will make the trek out to the Mountain State to watch Dana Holgorsen's West Virginia Mountaineers take on Gary Patterson's TCU Horned Frogs, the show's official Twitter account announced Sunday morning:

TCU and West Virginia have taken near-identical paths to this point.

Both teams graduated to the Big 12 two seasons ago after finding success in "lesser" conferences. Both teams went 7-6 and 4-5 in conference play in 2012 and 4-8 and 2-7 in conference play in 2013. And both teams entered 2014 with modulated expectations because of it.

But both teams have defied those expectations through nine weeks, combining to win 12 of 15 games. TCU's only loss came on the road at Baylor, and West Virginia's only losses came at home to Oklahoma and on a neutral field against Alabama.

All three of those teams are pretty good.

In contrast to Week 9's GameDay game—LSU 10, Ole Miss 7—TCU-West Virginia should be a high-scoring affair. TCU ranks first in the country with 50.4 points per game, most recently pasting Texas Tech 82-27 in Week 9. West Virginia is averaging 40.3 points per game at home.

"They play very well there," Patterson said of the Mountaineers in Milan Puskar Stadium. "We have to get ready."

West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett and receiver Kevin White are two of the breakout stars of the season. The same can be said, however, about TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin and receiver Josh Doctson.

When these teams met last season, Boykin was playing receiver and led TCU with 11 catches for 100 yards, but West Virginia won the game 30-27 on a field goal by Josh Lambert in overtime.

ABC will air the game at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday.
