Everyone wants to talk about TCU and Baylor, but don’t be stunned if this turns out to be for the Big 12 championship – or at least influences it. No one has played better over a three game stretch than West Virginia (3-0) so far, but now it actually has to play someone who isn’t bad at college football.

West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard (3) runs past Oklahoma…

No. 15 Oklahoma rolled past the 23rd-ranked Mountaineers 44-24 in the conference opener for both teams.

Neither coach Bob Stoops nor his players exactly embraced the West Virginia win as a statement game. The Mountaineers went heavy on the ground led by Wendell Smallwood with 91 yards and Rushel Shell 72-yards and a touchdown. A few of that stuff is on me.

Just two years ago, with the Mack Brown era on life support, Case McCoy led a 36-20 Texas win over the 12th ranked Sooners that wasn’t close.

Oklahoma linebacker Eric Striker had 13 tackles, including two sacks and three tackles for loss. But the West Virginia defense would rise to the occasion forcing a 25-yard field goal attempt to put the Sooners back up 27-17 but dodging a major bullet in the process and keeping the Mountaineers in striking distance.

Minnesota (3-2, 0-1) turned the ball over twice and finished with only 173 yards.

Penalties, turnovers, and overthrown passes plagued West Virginia all afternoon. We are. They have a solid returning defense that should be able to stop the Oklahoma attack reasonably.

It’s one of the biggest things you always hear about a team at this point of the season, but in this case it actually appears to be true with this WVU team. Perine totaled 65 yards in the OU win against West Virginia, which gives him 2,041 for his career.

Mayfield isn’t the only big time quarterback in this game.

Oklahoma might not be in its usual preseason perch atop the predicted Big 12 standings, but the Sooners have a chance to put a lot of pressure on the front-runners with a win Saturday. “You could see it in everybody’s eyes”.

A solid running game will also help the Sooners control the clock and keep the West Virginia’ 12th-ranked offense on the sidelines and off the scoreboard.

This season they’ve snared nine interceptions and recovered two opponents’ fumbles while turning the ball over just twice. While everyone likes to focus on the offense when it comes to this program, they’ve been stellar on defense this season, allowing only 7.7 points per game.

On September 21, 2014, a true freshman – who began the season as the third-string running back on Oklahoma’s depth chart – jabbed away at the Mountaineers’ run defense with 34 carries for 242 yards.

West Virginia (3-1, 0-1) entered the game leading the nation in scoring defense and turnover margin, but those numbers changed dramatically against the Sooners.

Penalties, turnovers, and overthrown passes plagued West Virginia all afternoon. But TCU has three manageable games coming up before the schedule intensifies again.

Baker Mayfield hits Sterling Shepard for a touchdown to make the score 14-7.

“That sounds good”, said Striker, whose pressure contributed to the secondary intercepting Howard three times, which was two more picks than he threw across his first eight games. Oklahoma won a 50-49 shootout against West Virginia in 2012.
