West Virginia College Football 2024 Preview: What’s the Situation?
I’m happy for Neal Brown, who is a solid Head Coach. They exceeded expectations last year despite a negative transfer portal differential, RB injuries, and a below par run defense. This year won’t be easy, but at least they gained some confidence.
2024 West Virginia NCAAF AREAS TO WATCH:
2nd year offensive coordinator Chad Scott was better than expected, as the run game thrived at 5.45-238. QB Greene assumed the starting job and ran wild, adding 12 TD’s.
His TD-interception ratio was 16-4, but this year I’d like to see his accuracy improve (just 53+%). When RB Donaldson went down, RB White emerged and was even better. They both return!
They lose their best OL, a blue-collar guy (Frazier), but hopefully will remain solid with three returning starters. The defense lost some talent (six starters), but it’s not uncommon for teams to find suitable replacements when none of the six starters were drafted by the NFL.
My two checks will be nose tackle and pass pressure, with no player returning who had more than 2.5 sacks. PK Haynes is part of a solid special team unit. He was 17-21, and 17-18 inside of 50 yards.

West Virginia Football 2024 Predicted Total Wins Prediction
6-6 as a ceiling for WVU? The backfield is loaded, coaching is solid, and close game kicking is an asset, but 7-5 would be the most I could go, and that’s a leap of faith. UNDER 7 wins (William Hill) is something to consider (grid agrees).

2024 West Virginia Football Schedule and Games to Watch
The biggest issue for West Virginia might be the schedule. They avoid Utah, but face most every other solid Big 12 contender. The non-conference schedule features Penn State and at Pittsburgh. West Virginia lost at home to Kansas in ’22, the last time they played each other.
The next four games are at Oklahoma St, home to Iowa State and Kansas St, and at Arizona. 3-2 is the ceiling to start Big 12 play. A VERY timely bye is next, as without it there would be a road game letdown at Cincinnati, which might still be a tough game.
West Virginia is 66-46 as a road dog, but just 10-11 under Brown. Based on situations I have, 2-1 in closing games hosting Baylor and UCF, and at Texas Tech may not be easily attainable.
West Virginia 2024 Football Expert HANDICAPPING TIP
My 13-0 ATS run has become 1-5 ATS the past two seasons. I deserve revenge 8/31 hosting PSU after James Franklin violated protocol running four plays inside of a minute left to “cover” 38-15. Luckily, no one was injured.
Pittsburgh is my lean on 9/14. I have many conflicting situations on games that have to be vetted out, but I like Baylor as a dog on 11/16. The historical data for West Virginia is solid, but I need the season to play out to see what becomes relevant.
