Current Records: West Virginia 4-6; Oklahoma State 7-3

What to Know

The West Virginia Mountaineers are home on Saturday, but with the point spread against them by 5.5 points, it might not be quite the welcoming they would prefer. West Virginia and the Oklahoma State Cowboys will face off in a Big 12 battle at noon ET at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. The Mountaineers aren't expected to win, but seeing as the odds didn't stop them last game, maybe the squad has another upset up their sleeve.

West Virginia didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Kansas State Wildcats last week, but they still walked away with a 24-20 victory. West Virginia's success was spearheaded by the efforts of WR George Campbell, who caught five passes for 92 yards and two TDs, and QB Jarret Doege, who passed for 234 yards and three TDs on 30 attempts. Doege's 50-yard touchdown toss to WR Bryce Wheaton in the fourth quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the afternoon.

Meanwhile, when you finish with 200 more yards than your opponent like Oklahoma State did last week, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They enjoyed a cozy 31-13 win over the Kansas Jayhawks. No one put up better numbers for Oklahoma State than RB Chuba Hubbard, who really brought his A game. He rushed for 122 yards and two TDs on 23 carries.

Their wins bumped West Virginia to 4-6 and Oklahoma State to 7-3. A pair of offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Mountaineers are stumbling into the contest with the second fewest rushing yards per game in the nation, having accrued only 76.7 on average. To make matters even worse for the Mountaineers, the Cowboys enter the game with 261.8 rushing yards per game on average, good for eighth best in the nation. So the cards are definitely stacked in the Cowboys' favor.
