The Mountaineers have held three straight opponents to 20 points or less and could be the best defense TCU has seen so far.
and West Virginia enter Saturday’s primetime matchup surging with both teams in the midst of three-game winning streaks that include a Big 12 victory.
Against Texas Tech, West Virginia limited the Red Raiders to just four yards per play and 2-of-18 in third down situations. From the sounds of his press conference Tuesday, it seems like Dykes believes this will be the best defense the Horned Frogs have seen this season. “It’s kind of a typical West Virginia defensive front,” Dykes said. “They’re good up front. They’re big and they’re strong, they play hard. They’re very physical, to me that’s where it starts. To me the mentality of their football team is kind of built on that.”
“You see game-to-game they’re getting better offensively,” Dykes said. “They’re becoming more certain with who they are and their identity.” Nicco Marchiol is a freshman that has helped lead the team to two wins, but has struggled when asked to pass. Marchiol did lead West Virginia in rushing against Texas Tech with 72 yards on 15 carries.
