MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The last time either West Virginia or Texas Tech won a football game, tree leaves had barely started turning their autumn hues. Now both teams enter Saturday’s game at Milan Puskar Stadium desperately trying to pick up a win before those leaves disappear altogether.
“This is a game between two teams that are going to be really hungry for a win,” noted West Virginia coach Neal Brown.
Both programs are going through growing pains under new coaches.
“You’ve got two first-year head coaches trying to change cultures and you have two teams fighting to play hard,” said Texas Tech coach Matt Wells.
