West Virginia has the fifth-best offense in CFB and Texas is at No. 23. The West Virginia defense ranks No. 34. The Texas defense is No. 59 in yards per play allowed. Texas’ last two games versus offensive teams in Oklahoma and Oklahoma State both went flying over this total.
The Longhorns predictably hit a letdown spot last week against a desperate Oklahoma State club that had two weeks to prepare for the game. However, they can remain in first place in the Big 12 with a win Saturday and reduce some of the clutter that includes West Virginia currently sharing a three-way tie for the top spot. The Longhorns have a physical and experienced secondary which should slow down the Mountaineers' explosive passing game. They won this matchup by two TDs last year in Morgantown and should cover this one on their home field.
