Bad weather. Cold.

Pissed (over rankings) and likely drunk fans.

Night game.

Disrespected team. ESPN giving a f-u to the biggest game in the B12 this season in order to go to a mid-major campus. Constantly being told "you're not good enough" and "go beat somebody."

I think OU is going to run into a team and fan-base with bad intentions....can't wait.

Want to hear something funny? I heard Galloway and others pumping up Western Michigan......yet they tell us "go beat someone". WTF!!!!!!!

Two years ago we were packed in ready for the kill and OU still won convincingly. They know how to handle rabid fans. I'm more hopeful our team plays smart and that will go a long way. Don't get baited into trick plays, turn the ball over, or go three and out, we may have a chance.

If fans really made a difference we would win all home games...at least the ones when the fans stay around after half time. lol. Out hustle, out hit, out tackle, and out play the Sooners and we win. Don't and we lose and no amount of alcohol in the stands will change that. That said, I see WVU 34-31.

This is a hard game to pick because both have opposing strengths that clash with each other. However, I think it boils down to the matchup below:

WVU's defense vs OU's offense............

Both are the strengths of each school. We have to stop OU's run game because Perine & Mixon may be the top dual backs in the nation and we have to stop the play-action and the long ball by Baker Mayfield (he's a way better QB/more dangerous than Trevor Knight and was also a Heisman candidate)... It will be a long night if our defense doesn't show up. We might not completely stop OU, but we got to slow them down and not let them run all over us last time they came to Morgantown. And our offense has to get mean and smack OU back in the mouth if OU does score. We have to control the clock with our run game as well.
