West Virginia is off to a solid alpha in the abode it matters, the record, but on the acreage the aggregation is at a cardinal point. The Mountaineers aftermost took the acreage two weeks ago in Baton Rouge adjoin a top ten ranked LSU aggregation in a bold they actual abundant had an adventitious to win but they came up aloof short. The news was the aegis continuing alpine and the breach aloof not actuality able to get it done. WVU QB Geno Smith completed beneath than 50 percent of his passes, far beneath his 65 percent completions for the division as he's befuddled for 919 with nine touchdowns and aloof two interceptions. Noel Devine was shut bottomward adjoin the Tigers accepting aloof 37 yards, his aboriginal time hasty for beneath than 100 yards this season. Jock Sanders and Tavon Austin as solid receivers as they both attending to animation aback from a sub par day. The Mountaineer aegis has been solid acceptance aloof 14.5 credibility per bold and 249.2 yards with aloof 84.5 of the yards advancing on the ground.
The big news out of UNLV for this bold is that Omar Clayton, their accomplished QB, is ambiguous for the game, aloof addition on one the longest abrasion lists in the nation, but he expects to be accessible for this one. Receiver Phillip Payne won't be arena as he's been abeyant from the aggregation and won't accomplish the trip. The Rebels additionally accept one of the affliction active amateur in the nation baronial 98th at 3.04 yards per carry. We can apprehend UNLV to go with the abbreviate casual advance with Michael Johnson and Marcus Sullivan in the slot. UNLV's run aegis is one of the affliction about baronial 103rd in the nation and giving up 203.8 yards per game. In all the Rebels aegis allows 32.6 credibility and 390.4 yards per game.
West Virginia is 2-6 adjoin the advance in their aftermost eight home games, 2-5 adjoin the advance in their aftermost seven non-conference games, and 1-6 adjoin the advance in their aftermost seven adjoin an aggregation with an accident record. UNLV is 3-7 adjoin the advance in their aftermost 10 amateur afterward a bold which they didn't cover, 2-7 adjoin the advance in their aftermost nine amateur as an underdog, and 1-6 adjoin the advance in their aftermost seven adjoin an aggregation with an acceptable record.
While this seems like a ton of points, we accept an aggregation that can run the brawl adjoin an aggregation that can't stop the run. We additionally accept an aggregation that is absolutely banged up in UNLV. I abhorrence laying this abounding credibility but I don't see any added advantage as this could be an aerial scoring game.
