Mountaineers seek upset in West Texas vs. ranked Tech
5 Nov
Summary
- West Virginia aims for sixth win to secure postseason spot.
- Texas Tech, ranked 15th, hosts the Mountaineers in Lubbock.
- WVU enters the game on a two-game winning streak after a bye.
West Virginia heads to Lubbock this weekend to challenge No. 15 Texas Tech. The Mountaineers are seeking their sixth win of the season to secure a spot in the postseason.
Coming off a bye week, West Virginia has won their last two games. Their offense has shown promise, particularly against teams that struggle to defend the run. This could be a key factor against a Texas Tech defense that has not performed as effectively against effective rushing attacks compared to last season.
Texas Tech, despite not looking as dominant as last year, holds a 7-1 record. However, the Red Raiders might be looking ahead to their next matchup, potentially creating a trap game scenario. This could allow West Virginia to keep the contest closer than anticipated.
Experts predict a Texas Tech victory, but acknowledge that West Virginia's recent offensive performances and the potential for a trap game could make this a closer contest than expected. Ultimately, the Red Raiders are expected to secure a late-game win.
