Longhorns Week 5 Opponent Preview: West Virginia Mountaineers
The Texas Longhorns will welcome the West Virginia Mountaineers to Morgantown on Saturday at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, where Neal Brown will look to make it two-straight wins over Texas with Steve Sarkisian at the helm.
Last year's win helped keep the Longhorns out of bowl eligibility, meaning the Longhorns will be out for revenge against the Mountaineers.
The Longhorns are coming off a disappointing blown lead in their upset loss to Texas Tech in Week 4 and are aiming to get back on track in Big 12 play.
The Mountaineers, on the other hand, dominated in a 33-10 win over Virginia Tech and have won two-straight games after starting the season 0-2.
West Virginia currently holds a 6-5 advantage over the Longhorns in the all-time series between the two and is 4-2 all-time in Austin.
