Our weekly simulations of West Virginia's games on EA Sports' College Football video game are back! Throughout the rest of the season, we will post the results of that week's game on Tuesday, but since the Mountaineers are not coming off a game, obviously, we are posting this one a couple of days earlier.

What a 35-10 win would mean

I think most fans would be pretty pleased to win the opener this comfortably, especially with Coastal's only touchdown coming in garbage time with under a minute left to go in the game. The stats are a little wonky, though. Hawkins only threw the ball 13 times, and Cook only having 58 yards is pretty off, in my opinion. Still, the overall result is what matters, and to be honest, it's pretty close to the final score most expect, including the folks that make the odds in Vegas.
