West Virginia improved to 1-1 following a 66-0 rout of Long Island University on Saturday. Quarterback Jarrett Doege threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Garrett Greene rushed for 98 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Virginia Tech has covered the number in five of the last seven head-to-head with West Virginia while the Mountaineers have failed to cover the number in five of the last six versus an ACC opponent.
