Things in victory over Texas Tech, with worst record in Big 12, that give me glimmer of hope against Auburn at noon Saturday on ESPN:
WVU bench scored 50 points. Sign of excellent depth.
It was the first conference road victory for the Mountaineers since Feb. 23, 2021, over TCU. Almost a 2-year road L streak in Big 12.
WVU went from 10 behind to win by 15. Resurrection is valuable and too rare this season, particularly late in the games.
In the Big 12, WVU
Beat visiting #11 TCU by 9
Beat Texas Tech on road by 15
Lost at Oklahoma by 1
Lost to visiting #17 Baylor by 5
Lost at #5 Kansas State by 6
Lost at Oklahoma State by 7
Lost to visiting #10 Texas by 8
Lost at #9 Kansas by 14 (ONLY double-digit Big 12 loss this season)
Doesn’t play #12 Iowa State till Feb. 8, in Morgantown
1-4 against top 6 in standings.
Big 12 ONLY Power-5 conference to have NO team with a losing season record.
Ecstacy not agony against Auburn, if you please.
