Allan Taylor: 5 questions for West Virginia in Stillwater

STILLWATER, Okla. — A fistful of questions as No. 9 West Virginia visits Oklahoma State on Saturday:

It’s gotta be a shootout, right?

The Mountaineers rank 10th nationally in scoring offense (40.9) and the Cowboys stand 13th (39.2). Both units also are elite in terms of that sometimes overlooked stat, yards-per-play, with WVU averaging 7.26 and OSU putting up 6.64.

Will Grier and Taylor Cornelius are two of the most efficient quarterbacks in the Big 12 (trailing only Kyler Murray), and each can target a Biletnikoff semifinalist. Plus, both offenses are somewhat balanced by top-50 rushing attacks.
