Can Texas Avenge Last Year’s Loss to BYU? Vegas Big 12 Predictions for Week 2 Here.
Vegas Big 12 Predictions
Towson at West Virginia
The West Virginia Mountaineers are encouraged just like Oklahoma State for the way they played against Alabama, but don’t read as much into this one. The game wasn’t as close as it looked, the Tide were breaking in a new quarterback, and Alabama always struggles a bit against a spread offense it hasn’t seen before. West Virginia and Dana Holgorsen get a chance to truly show off that spread with Towson coming to town Saturday night, the first of two weeks in a row West Virginia plays a team from Maryland.
Towson, meanwhile, just lost to Central Connecticut State but did make it to 13-3 last year and was only kept from winning the FCS championship by North Dakota State, the best team by far in FCS last year. So this is no team to be taken lightly by WVU.
Prediction
Towson is good enough to have a few scores in this game and keep it interesting early, and that’s just what it will do. But West Virginia will pull away easily when the second half rolls around.
West Virginia: 45 Towson: 24
