West Virginia is coming into this game with a 4-1 record this season and a 2-0 conference record as they have been playing very well. Their only loss came against a very good Penn State team and they have won their last 4 straight games since then. They have been winning a lot of their games with good defense though as their last 3 wins have all been low scoring games that stayed under 45 points. Their offense has not been that strong in their last 3 games either as they have not scored more than 24 points in any of those games and 2 of them were played at home. Their defense has also been very good in that span though as they have not allowed more than 21 points in any of those games and have allowed 13 points or less in 2 of their last 3. Their offense is only averaging around 26 points scored per game and their defense is a top 35 defense in the country as they are averaging around 19 points allowed per game. They are going up against a Houston team that has not been very good this season and has been very inconsistent in their games. They lost 49-28 in their last game but prior to that they have a blowout win 38-7 and a blowout loss 36-13. Their defense has been allowing a lot of points recently but West Virginia is going to have success running the ball on this Houston defense and that is going to eat up clock. Houston has also been scoring a lot of points on offense recently but this is the best defense they have faced and they are going to struggle to move the ball in this game. This is going to be a low scoring and defensive game that stays under the total.
