West Virginia (3-6) hosts Oklahoma (5-4) Saturday at noon on FS1. The Mountaineers will look to break a three-game losing streak, while Oklahoma will look to become bowl eligible with a win today. The Mountaineers have not beaten the Sooners since joining the Big 12.
PREGAME:
West Virginia’s dress list does not feature SPEAR Raleigh Collins. Charles Woods is on the dress list, but it will be interesting to see how full-speed he is if he does play. Running back Tony Mathis is active as expected.
Oklahoma wins the coin toss and chooses to receive the ball to begin the game. WVU will start on defense, Sooners on offense.
