Oklahoma State vs West Virginia Pick

Oklahoma State has the more productive passing attack, but West Virginia has a major advantage on the ground. Hawkins and Cook have combined for 639 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns, making the assignment difficult for the Cowboys’ defensive front. Mestemaker should generate several explosive passes, though his 4 interceptions could give West Virginia short fields. The Mountaineers’ home-field advantage and rushing attack should make the difference during the fourth quarter. Take West Virginia to cover the short spread in a high-scoring contest.
