Several reasons for some value here this week with Texas. It almost feels like they are under dogs in their own building against West Virginia. I really don't understand it. I get they were off a bye going to Oklahoma State and they lost by 3, because they started that game miserably. Two factors there. Tom Herman benched two starting CB's and Oklahoma State got off to a great start taking advantage, and Sam Ehlinger made his return and was rusty starting 5-15, but the rust was shaken off in the second half and he nearly came all the way back to win.

Everything is still ahead of Texas and they can get to the Big 12 Championship game against Oklahoma. They beat this same West Virginia team last year 28-14 as West Virginia struggled to move the ball and protect Will Grier. West Virginia also struggled against Iowa State last year the same type of defense, and they went on the road and were even worse. I expect Texas can win special teams, TO margin, and get pressure on Grier, and they'll win this game by a TD.
