Let’s be positive first: West Virginia is undefeated and ranked No. 12 in the country. Not bad for a coach who was on the hot seat coming into this season after compiling a 26-25 record the previous four years.

It actually plays solid defense. WVU is scoring about 33 points per game and while that’s not phenomenal in the wide-open Big 12, it’s only giving up 19.4 points per game because the defense is outstanding. Part of it could be the fact that the Mountaineers haven’t played offensive juggernauts yet. It manhandled Texas Tech, 48-17, last weekend, in which many thought would be a shootout instead of a blowout. West Virginia held the Red Raiders to 34 rushing yards last week, just 1.3 yards per carry. Yes, TCU is not an easy victory this weekend.
