No. 23 BYU Hosts Injury-Hit West Virginia Tonight on ESPN

Oddsmakers favor BYU by nearly three touchdowns as West Virginia starts freshman Khalil Wilkins with Jaylen Henderson out.

Overview

  • Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. MDT (10:30 p.m. ET) at LaVell Edwards Stadium with national TV coverage on ESPN and streaming via the ESPN app and Fubo.
  • BYU enters 4-0 with a top-25 ranking and has leaned on an elite defense allowing about nine points per game plus a ground game averaging roughly 6.3 yards per carry.
  • West Virginia is 2-3 after back-to-back Big 12 blowouts, and its injury list includes quarterback Jaylen Henderson (out) with redshirt freshman Khalil Wilkins expected to start.
  • Sportsbooks list BYU around a 18.5-point favorite, and multiple projection models peg the margin near 20 points.
  • BYU navigated a short week after a late road win at Colorado, trimming practice volume as both teams turn around quickly for the Friday night matchup.
