A very West Virginia Friday
I would feel more comfortable with a line of -21 or less in tonight's West Virginia/Connecticut game, but with the way these teams matchup, I'll take my chances with the Mountaineers giving 23.
ACTION
10/20 West Virginia (-23) at Connecticut
Here's why I like it: West Virginia has the best rushing game in college football, putting up 328 yards per game. Connecticut's defense is terrible against the run, ranking 106th out of 119 Division I schools. It should be no problem for West Virginia to score enough points to justify a 23-point spread, the real question is whether their defense can be stout enough to keep UConn from creeping into a cover.
