West Virginia makes the short trip north to Pittsburgh as a 2-point favorite after opening as 5.5-point favorites in the initial betting line. That number has been driven down as the Mountaineers go into the Panthers’ house and try to upend a team that improved to 2-0 by overcoming a 21-point deficit with less than 16 minutes to play against Cincinnati. The Panthers won it on a 35-yard Ben Sauls field goal with 17 seconds remaining.

West Virginia got on the board with its first win of the season, defeating UAlbany 49-14 to rebound from a 34-12 loss to Penn State in Week 1. Quarterback Garrett Greene accounted for four touchdowns (one rushing), and running backs C.J. Donaldson (125 yards, TD) and Jahiem White (100 yards, TD) both hit the century mark in the win.
