Know Your Enemy: What Texas must do to beat West Virginia

By Adam Sweeney

Longhorn Nation, we are officially in do-or-die mode for Texas football with regard to hopes of bowl eligibility. The Longhorns lock up against the 4-4 West Virginia Mountaineers this coming Saturday and desperately need to win if they want to finish with a record of .500 or better. Last week's game against Kansas, a Texas 59-20 win, was a tale of two halves. The Longhorns should have been down at the half, but finally overcame their third-quarter woes and ended up racking up 598 yards of offense as backup quarterback Tyrone Swoopes ran all over the Jayhawks. This week's test against the Mountaineers should be much more challenging, and WVU is an 8.5-point favorite. We're here to give you the skinny on the game and let you know what must happen for Texas to light the tower orange.

The tie that binds

The Longhorns are tied, 2-2, in their all-time series with West Virginia, have come out on top in the last two meetings and are 1-0 on the road in Morgantown, W.V.
