The Oklahoma State defense will be sky high, as will their fans, with unbeaten West Virginia in town. West Virginia totals are high because of their pass-happy style, but this Mountaineers defense has quietly been outstanding at #15 in the country allowing 17.8 points per contest. West Virginia is on a 21-7 run UNDER the total, including 17-4 UNDER in Big 12 play. They shut down TCU the last game, 34-10, holding the Frogs to 2-of-12 on third and fourth down. In back-to-back weeks the Mountaineers faced Big 12 opponents Texas Tech and TCU, whose high-potent offenses ranked in the nation's top 10. The Mountaineers held Texas Tech 280 yards and 38 points below their season average and followed that up by keeping TCU to 230 yards and 30 points below theirs. West Virginia is 20-6 UNDER the total on fieldturf and faces a ball-hawking Oklahoma State defense. Oddsmakers were expecting an offensive show last season, but it was 26-26 at the end of regulation -- and West Virginia failed to score in the extra frame. Oklahoma State's defense forced four turnovers. When they met two years ago on this field it was a 34-10 final, so look for both defenses to shine in this showdown. Play this one to finish UNDER.
