I jumped all over West Virginia -17.5 and was planning to post an in depth write-up but not very long after I took them the line had moved to -28.5!
WVU looked solid vs Alabama and covered easily (as I predicted). They played with max effort and came up short. For most teams a game against Towson following Alabama would be a let down. Well from everything I am hearing out of the WVU camp that will not be the case. This group was young last year and have yet to experience success so they are excited at the prospect of having a good season. Plus this is a home opener night game so the atmosphere should be electric. Holgorsen printed out a sheet listing all the times a 1AA team beat a 1A team to make sure the team plays hard. Finally they came away from the Alabama game with zero injuries. Meanwhile it looks like Towson is in for a down year after I believe losing most of their offensive line and running back. They don't use overly complicated schemes on defense and likely will have trouble stopping the WVU offense which now has a healthy Clint Trickett who is comfortable in Holgerson's system.
Unfortunately the line moved super fast. I can't recommend a play on WVU at -28.5 when I got them at -17.5. BOL this week everyone. I will be capping every WVU game this season so stay tuned.
