  • Kickoff is Saturday, Nov. 8 at noon ET at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, with national TV coverage on TNT and truTV.
  • Both teams are 3-6 overall and 1-5 in Big 12 play, and Colorado must win its final three games to reach the typical six-win bowl threshold.
  • Each side is turning to a freshman at quarterback, with West Virginia starting Scotty Fox Jr. and Colorado handing the reins to true freshman Julian "JuJu" Lewis.
  • West Virginia is a 6.5-point favorite at BetMGM and enters with momentum after a 45-35 upset of Houston that eased pressure on coach Rich Rodriguez.
