WVU vs. T A&M = Monday, Dec. 29 @ 2 est

[DBAR4WVU]

Game is set and the bullsh*t is already flying and getting deeper by the minute.

Here are some facts:

TAM WV
OFF..............33........ 11
DEF..............102...... 59
PPG..............34.4..... 33.2
YPG..............449.2... 502.1
P Allow..........27.3.... 26.2
YPG Allow......449..... 388.6
3rd%............41%.... 44%
3rd% Allow..42%.... 31%
TD...............54...... 45
Sacks..........33...... 18
Red Z Scor....86%... 80%
Red Z TD......68%... 54%

On paper, these teams stack up evenly with a few exceptions highlighted above.
I expect a tough fought game. Unfortunately, I think A&M players may feel they have more to prove.
After the fall off in success from the Johnny M led team last season, they want to let everyone know they can compete.

After the way WV limped to the final games, I am not sure what to expect.
Also, who will be the WV QB? Having Howard back there and making the run
the primary focus could be a plus.
With Trickett, if they shutdown White, can others step up?

I am ready for a competative game to break up my holiday break. Bring it.

I'm looking for a WVU blowout

There was one common opponent for these teams

Bama 33 WVU 23
Bama 59 A&M 0

Dont let those A&M stats fool you as they were racked up against powerhouses like SMU, Lamar, Rice and Louisiana Monroe.

A&M lost 5 of their last 7 (one win was against ULM)

I would be shocked if Trickett was not the starter.

If we protect the ball (big if) we should crush King's alma mater

I don't know what to expect from either team, but I have to be a homer here. WVU 31 TX A&M 30

I am taking the Mounties in our work bowl pool, I think if WVU plays to their potential and holds onto the ball we win pretty handily, a few turnovers and we lose, simple as that.

this board might get kinda chippy around here for this one, ol king actually has some Aggie back up over here, unlike CBS.

Except TAMU is 2-5 in their last 7 games............

We'll win but it'll be closer then it needs to be.

**Posted elsewhere - reposting here:

While WV didn't exactly light it up the 2nd half of the season, T A&M was beaten up the last half of their season. After winning their first 5 games, they dropped 5 of their last 7. So both teams are 7-5. Here are their 5 losses (against some pretty strong competition):

TAM.................WV
Miss ST 48-31...Bama 33-23
Miss 35-20........Okla 45-33
Bama 59-0.......TCU 31-30
Mizz 34-27........Tex 33-16
LSU 23-17.........K St 26-20

Quality wins??

TAM..................WV
Auburn 41-38.... Baylor 41-27

It's tight no matter how you slice it. It comes down to the same thing it has come down
to for WVU this entire season - Red Zone scoring and holding on to the DAMN ball (TO).
If we don't turn the ball over and score TDs when get inside the 20 - WVU wins.
If we turn the ball over on our side of the field and can't score TDs when we
have the opportunity - we lose.
