Can WVU bounce back, or is the writing on the wall?
There’s no shame in losing to Texas Tech the way they did, but there is shame in how Saturday’s game against Kansas played out. Although most of WVU’s goals are now out of reach, there are still two opportunities left to clinch a 13th game. Does this team have the fight and desire to truly strain and get back in the win column? Or do they see the writing on the wall of things sliding down the stretch and mail it in? I’d be shocked if a Rich Rod-coached team did the latter.
Where is Houston mentally after its loss?
Houston was having a really strong season and can still finish with a really good record, but it’s highly unlikely that they are playing for any meaningful hardware now, following their shocking loss to Colorado this weekend. They obviously had much more to play for and are now in a situation where they are just looking to play in a quality bowl — does that matter to this group? Will they strain just as much? Or do they come out a bit flat and out of sorts, being hungover from the loss in Boulder?
