3. Can West Virginia somehow pull off a monumental upset against Baylor?
The Mountaineers have absolutely shot themselves in the foot the past two weeks in consecutive losses to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, turning the ball over nine times in those two contests. When playing sound football, West Virginia is a threat to any team in the nation, however.
With No. 2-ranked Baylor on the schedule in Week 7, there is absolutely zero room for careless mistakes. The Mountaineers, on their best day, are a long shot to upset the Bears. That said, if perhaps the last couple of weeks got all the crud out of their system and they can somehow compile a perfect performance, then things could get interesting.
Baylor hasn’t been challenged once this year. The closest any team got was Texas Tech, which saw its high-powered offense get blow away by Seth Russell and Co. with a final score of 63-35. It’s going to take nothing less than perfection by West Virginia’s defense to stymie this offense, which has averaged 64 points per game so far in 2015.
This Big-12 contest will be nationally televised at noon Saturday on FOX.
