Looking at the line up I favor Uconn as the public is all over West Virginia opening at -7 but the line has moved hard in the last 24 hours to -6. I stay away from games like this. Uconn is too beat up as they start a red shirt freshmen at QB and they just come off a game where they were pathetic against Louisville a solid defense where they had 0 points now they go up against West Virginia who has an even better defense.
Â
West Virginiaâs offense has struggled as they lost against Syracuse last week and they havenât allowed an opponent score more than 21 points all season long. They have an odd 3-3-5 defense which will give Uconn troubles in my opinion especially for Mike Box making just his 2nd start. Box was the third string QB at the start of the year.Â

Two things I like on the under are both teams will be running the ball. Bill Stewart already said that heâs goingt o be running Geno Smith and running more power I with fullback Ryan Clarke. We know what Uconn is going to do and although West Virginia has not seen a running game this good all season with the exception of LSU I think they will dominate the Huskies tonight. I believe the line movement means that West Virginiaâs offense will struggle too. Uconnâs defense has been solid and will be pumped up on a Friday night to play a team they have never beat
