UNDER Continues to Cash for WVU

Though their highly touted defense was beaten up a bit last week, the West Virginia Mountaineers are still a top producer of UNDERS with 11 of their past 13 games going under the closing total. West Virginia’s defense will look to get back on track after being torched by Oklahoma last week, when they host the Oklahoma State Cowboys Saturday.
