Latest Preview (Week Recent)

Bowl eligibility dashed

The Mountaineers needed to win out to become bowl eligible in coach Rich Rodriguez's first season, but the loss to Arizona State eliminated that possibility, as they fell to 4-7 overall.

Rushing attack struggles

West Virginia managed only 68 rushing yards on 39 carries, a major factor in the loss. Coach Rodriguez noted, 'If you run for 68 yards, you don't deserve to win the game,' highlighting a critical weakness.

Fourth-down inefficiency

The Mountaineers converted just 1 of 4 fourth-down attempts, including two failed tries inside Arizona State's 6-yard line, which cost them scoring opportunities and ultimately the game.

Big plays keep them in game

Despite offensive struggles, West Virginia hit two explosive passing plays: a 75-yard touchdown from Scotty Fox Jr. to Jeff Weimer and a 90-yard screen pass to Cyncir Bowers, showing potential in the passing game.

Next up: No. 8 Texas Tech

West Virginia hosts No. 8 Texas Tech on Nov. 29, facing a tough opponent while trying to end the season on a positive note after being eliminated from bowl contention.
