Writeup:
Welcome back to Week #4 of the 2008 college football season. This week is lining up to be a good one with several good teams digging themselves out of big time holes, and other underdogs popping up everywhere. On Thursday night, a very nice dual is set to take place in Colorado as the Buffalo are set to host the visiting #24 West Virginia Mountaineers. These are two well-above average squads this season. West Virginia comes in off a big time shocker losing to Cinderella Story East Carolina, while Colorado comes in 2-0 on the season and putting up some big time numbers maybe unexpectedly.
To cut to the chase, we'll be on the Mountaineers here tonight. West Virginia has something to prove, and that is that they are MUCH, MUCH better than the show they put on last week in Carolina. The fact behind that is.they really are. WVU is averaging a savvy 304 yards on offense per game along with an eye popping 5.8 yards per carry. Through the air, they are right around five and a half yards per toss, too. The stud himself, Patrick White, is finally healthy and ready to make his case as a big time professional prospect. He has a completion % of 72 on the year and has thrown 6 TD's and just one pick so far.
Colorado on the other hand shouldn't have too many problems keeping up with this offensive attack though. They average just over 350 yards per contest but only 3.4 per rush. Let's not short QB Cody Hawkins in this one at all. Cody is one heck of an athlete and is on the verge of turning that Buffalo program in a better direction. Cody has thrown two picks already this season along with four touchdowns.
This one is panning out to be a shootout and could have big time ramifications in a few short weeks. There is no reason that both of these teams don't combine for over 60 total points, hence making the total an attractive wager. However, the clear edge on such a short number to the home dog begs for action on the public favorite here tonight. Let's jump aboard and enjoy the show here, what do you say? Colorado has looked good to date, and is well improved, but too much experience, depth, speed and consistency will lead Pat White and his followers to a victory Thursday night in Colorado.
TRENDS OF THE GAME:
-West Virginia is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games on grass
-West Virginia is 13-5 in their last 18 road games
West Virginia 37, Colorado 31
