Why West Virginia can cover
The Mountaineers, led by interim head coach Chad Scott, will be without at least 11 players due to transfers or injuries, with the most notable being freshman linebacker Josiah Trotter, the team’s second-leading tackler, who has committed to Missouri. Senior quarterback Garrett Greene will be under center, however, and he will have most of his weapons on offense available. Greene led the offense as a dual threat, passing for 1,972 yards and 13 touchdowns, while rushing 126 times for 656 yards and five touchdowns. In the loss to Texas Tech, he completed 29 of 39 passes (74.4%) for 265 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions.
The West Virginia rushing attack is led by sophomore running back Jahiem White. In 12 games, he carried 142 times for 817 yards (5.8 average) and seven touchdowns. Against Texas Tech, he rushed 14 times for 124 yards (8.9 yards) and one touchdown. He carried 19 times for 158 yards (8.3 average) and one touchdown in a 38-14 win at Oklahoma State on Oct. 5.
