It has happened three times under Dana Holgorsen, who will be coaching his 57th game Saturday.
At Oklahoma (-21) in 2013 when WVU hung close 16-7; at Baylor (-30) in 2013 when the Bears covered by half; and against Alabama (-22) last season when the Mountaineers gave a decent account.
Four of six MetroNews pickers like West Virginia to cover Saturday in Waco, though none of the final-score predictions save room for much drama.
