Top 25 Overview

The Dana Holgorsen era begins with an in-state rivalry that is not much of a rivalry. The Mountaineers have a 10-0 advantage in the series against the Thundering Herd, though they survived a frantic 24-21 overtime game on the road last season. The game provides the first glimpse at the new Holgorsen offense and just how well Geno Smith and company will do running it.
