West Virginia recovered from its season-opening loss to Penn State by routing Albany the week after and comes into this matchup as the slight favorite, needing to beef up an attack that ranks 74th nationally in scoring and 88th in passing production.
What do the analytics say about the matchup? Let's turn to the SP+ prediction model to get a preview of how Pittsburgh and West Virginia compare in this Week 3 college football game.
Last weekend somehow simultaneously made me feel worse about our team (the secondary makes me want to puke) while feeling better about our chances to compete for a Big 12 championship. Nobody has looked great so far. There is no dominant team. It’s as wide open as wide open can be, and if we get our shit together there’s no reason we can’t make a real run at this thing.
Garrett Greene finished with 236 yards on 17-23 passing (73.9%) in the Mountaineers' last game, tossing three touchdowns, plus seven rushing attempts for 68 yards and one rushing touchdown. CJ Donaldson ran for one touchdown while compiling 125 yards on 14 attempts. Kole Taylor earned 47 yards on three receptions with one score.
For the Panthers in their last game, Eli Holstein completed 20 of 35 passing attempts (57.1%) and totaled 302 yards through the air, connecting on three touchdown passes but giving away one interception. Desmond Reid had 19 rushing attempts and finished with 148 yards while also hauling in six receptions for 106 yards and one touchdown. Konata Mumpfield found paydirt twice, and ended the contest with five catches for 123 yards.
