In 2015, the West Virginia Mountaineers started out 3-0 before they entered what became known as "Deathtober", a stretch of four games in October against the 4 beat teams in the Big 12. The team fought valiantly against the Oklahoma Sooners (44-24) and lost in overtime to the Pokes before succombing to #2 Baylor (62-38) and dying against TCU and Treyvon Boykin (40-10).
This year featured Deathtober 2.0, a stretch of four games against the preseason top four teams in October back-to-back-to-back-to-back. West Virginia just finished that stretch 0-4, even though they had chances against Texas, Iowa State and Baylor.
