While WVU has a great offense, the Mountaineers are not so great on the road, averaging nearly 10 points less per game while allowing 72 on defense. Oklahoma has been a mess since beating WVU, but three losses have been by 5 points or less and another was by 7. I think the Sooners will play up at home and keep this game competitive.
