WVU-Texas Tech Big 12 Showdown Looms

West Virginia visits No. 13 Texas Tech on November 7 looking to extend a two-game winning streak, reach bowl eligibility and keep its Big 12 title hopes alive. Analyst Phil Steele sees an upset as possible but considers the Red Raiders the stronger team, saying WVU’s best chance is to contain their rushing attack and make quarterback Thomas Castellanos rely on passing. The matchup also carries added motivation for returning Mountaineers after last season’s 49–0 loss; Texas Tech enters 7–1 and is seeking a 14th straight home win, while WVU is 5–3. The game is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.
