On the other side of this matchup is West Virginia and they lost their first game of the season against Pittsburgh 38-31. West Virginia played well for most of the game, but they blew it late with a pick-six and the defense imploding.

Jared Wayne had a big game catching three passes for 89 yards. The defense really struggled in their last game against Pitt and that will need to be improved upon here.
