WVU gives up HALF to ONE-THIRD as many points as other Big 12 teams in Big 12 games.
West Virginia is #16 nationally in defense yardage. WVU is #1 in Big 12 games in points yielded on defense (14.3 per game).
West Virginia is #59 in total offense nationally but is one of two unbeaten Big 12 teams. The other unbeaten Big 12 team, Baylor, is #2 in Big 12 games in points yielded by its defense (24.3 per game). Baylor is #4 nationally in defense yardage.
There's a lesson there. It's not always how many points your team scores. It's how many the opponent does NOT score, too.
