I said in the previous write-up that the Pittsburgh Panthers are possibly one of the worst teams from a power conference, and they looked terrible against The Citadel. The West Virginia Mountaineers aren’t going to blow your socks off most nights, but this is a game they should comfortably. Pittsburgh is not a good team, especially if its season opener is a sign of things to come. WVU should roll here.
