West Virginia, struggling offensively and without a reliable quarterback, faces unbeaten BYU, which has a strong freshman QB and top defense, in a key Big 12 clash.

West Virginia faces No. 23 BYU in a key Big 12 matchup after a 48-14 loss to Utah, struggling with quarterback uncertainty following Nicco Marchiol’s foot injury and a struggling offense ranked last in the FBS at 27.1% third-down conversion. Redshirt freshman Khalil Wilkins showed promise in relief but remains unproven. Meanwhile, BYU remains unbeaten at 4-0, relying on freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier, who has thrown six touchdowns with no interceptions and rushed for 98 yards in a recent game, while the Cougars’ defense allows just 9.3 points per game. Despite West Virginia’s 2-0 series edge, including a 37-7 win two years ago, the Mountaineers face a tough challenge against a resilient BYU team overcoming injuries.
