"Another Week - Another Embarrassment"
Mountaineers Destroyed in Orlando by UCF 45-13

WVU Defense has allowed 43 points per game in last 4 Big 12 Games

Mountaineer Defenses allowed 578 yards of total offense
WVU Offense put up just 210 yards in 4th straight lopsided defeat
Next Game: 10/25/25 vs TCU on Homecoming Saturday at 6:00 PM on ESPN+.



Well Mountaineers another week and another noncompetitive blowout loss 45-13 to the less than stellar UCF Golden Knights. Coming in UCF had lost 3 straight games and it seemed that if there was going to be a competitive game left on the schedule it would have been this one. I doubt any of us believed after the stirring rally to defeat Pitt in the Backyard Brawl that West Virginia would not win another game and finish the season 2-10 but as sad as that sounds it could certainly become reality.

This WVU offense is so out of tune with what they are supposed to be doing it is absolutely brutal. The last four games, all Big 12 contests, WVUs anemic offense Has put of just 61 points for an average of 15.25 points per game. As bad as that is in 2 of those games WVU scored useless garbage time touchdowns with well under a minute to play in a lopsided game. You take those scores away and its now 47 points in the last 4 games and 11.75 points per game average in the real time of those contests. These poor offensive performances, which are ranked 171st in the country, have left the defense on the field far too long and since the defense also has had several serious injuries it has led to far more points allowed than they should be surrendering. At this halfway point in the season its clear the WVU cannot make a bowl game and could possibly end this nightmare season on a 10-game losing streak.

Lets look at the remaining games this season.

TCU in Morgantown this Saturday at 6:00 PM on ESPN+. I also find it sad that WVU is now reduced too ESPN+ for their game telecasts limiting the amount of folks that can see them game unless the want to subscribe.

Houston Cougars in Houston Texas on Novembers 1st. The 6-1 Cougars whose only loss came against #7 Texas Tech, are MUCH to tough offensively for the Mountaineers to stay in the games.

Colorado Buffalos on November 8th on Military Week in Morgantown. Coach Prime will bring in his Buffaloes for his first ever trip to Morgantown on Military Week. The Buffaloes are currently 3-4 on the season but have at least been competitive in all 4 of their losses to Georgia Tech, Houston, BYU and TCU. However the Colorado Offense is struggling almost as bad as West Virginia having scores just 126 points on the season for an average of 18 points per game. Their defense is very comparable to WVU having allowed 214 points for an average of 30 points per game compared to 216 points for an average of 30.8 points per game. This is skewed a bit by WVUs opening victory against a hapless FCS opponent Robert Morris 45-3. Take that game out oof the equation and WVU is allowing 35.5 points per game against FBS opponents. I believe this matchup at home against the Buffaloes to be the only remaining chance at a victory this season by WVU.

#24 Arizona State in Tempe AR on November 15th. The #24 ranked Sun Devils are currently 5-2 on the season having just upset #7 Texas Tech 26-22 this past Saturday. They are a very solid team and are far too strong for WVU to mount any kind of threat against them in Arizonia.

#7 Texas Tech on November 29th on Senior Day in Morgantown. I do not see any way that the Mountaineers are not blown completely out of Milan Puskar Stadium by the end of the 1st quarter of this game. Tech has had WVUs number in the past when the Mountaineers had very competitive teams. No chance this season. There it is. In my very humble opinion West Virginia is looking at a 2-10 or at best 3-9 record on the season with either one win in conference play or zero wins in conference play if they fall to the Buffaloes. It’s a shame that WVU des not play Oklahoma State this season because I do believe that would be another victory chance.

Rich Rodriguez started his first era at West Virgina going 3-8 in 2000 before turning this around the next season and winning 9 games. I figure with a full year now to recruit and both Transfer portal windows open to him they will be able to field a much better team in 2026.

Now WVU will face the TCU Horned Frogs in Morgantown on Homecoming Saturday at 6:00 pm on ESPN+.



Until Next Time: Lets GOOOOOOO Mountaineers!!!!!!!
