What you need to know about Texas

It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Texas ultimately got the result it was hoping for last Saturday with a 41-34 victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Texas' win was all the more impressive since Oklahoma State was giving up just 12 points per game entering that contest. No one had a standout game offensively for Texas, but the Longhorns got scores from a handful of players including RB Keaontay Ingram, WR Brennan Eagles, and WR Joshua Moore.

Defensively, Texas survived a 530-yard output from Oklahoma State by forcing four turnovers in the victory and winning the turnover battle 4-0. D'Shawn Jamison also returned a kick 100 yards to help overcome a 530-287 yardage deficit on the day.

What you need to know about West Virginia

Meanwhile, when you finish with 260 more yards than your opponent like the Mountaineers did last Saturday, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. The Mountaineers made easy work of the Kansas State Wildcats and carried off a 37-10 victory. They can attribute much of their success to RB Leddie Brown, who rushed for one TD and 102 yards on 24 carries, and QB Jarret Doege, who passed for two TDs and 301 yards on 34 attempts. 

The West Virginia defense has been incredibly stout this year, giving up just 255.7 yards and 19.8 points per game. However, the Mountaineers are just 6-13-1 against the spread in their last 20 games as an underdog.
