It's been a great two weeks to begin our 2021 season. Earn a Top 10 win at home against a hated divisional opponent? Check. Cover the spread against a middling group of 5 team? Check.
We enter week 3 entered in the Top 15 for the first time since 2018. Obviously, we all have tempered expectations for the game tomorrow. Some of us don't believe we are quite deserved of our ranking currently, which is perfectly understandable. This team might not be what we were expecting when the season began. I know I was leaning towards a rather respectable offense that could keep us in games, and a defense that would hopefully be improved enough to avoid letdowns and blowouts against teams we should typically handle. Instead we've received a very pedestrian and predictable offense and a seemingly stout defense.
With all of this said, we enter our game tomorrow as underdogs against a pretty mediocre team. I for one am completely okay with this roll for our team. We will be entering a hostile environment against a rival we have seen sparingly over the best 16 years. If you're like me and love to read any and all pregame and college football articles during the week leading up to the game (which I'm sure you are if you're reading this random guy who rarely posts thread), then you are bound to see almost any media person predict Wvu to win this game. Again, I completely understand the reasonings, our offense hasn't looked very promising, we just lost one of our top playmakers, and we are playing in our first real road environment since 2019.
While I am usually one to temper my expectations and hold back on bold predictions, something about this game feels like a setup. A setup for our offense to showcase what we have been looking for from our playmakers. A quarterback ready to let loose against a team still questioning itself after a week 1 letdown marred by turnovers and important blunders. I expect our defense to deliver another high quality performance against an offense I think we match up very well against. The offense will bust out with looks we have yet to see this season and a newfound confidence from Burmeister willing to take chances in the passing game.
Call me optimistic, but with a lot of questions surrounding this game, I see the boys delivering a bully like performance. 31-17 Hokies.
Let me know what you all are expecting to see in the game tomorrow!
