College Football 26 Simulation: West Virginia vs. Ohio

The video game projects what will happen between the Mountaineers and Wildcats this Saturday.

College Football 26 Simulation: West Virginia at Ohio

Last year, we started doing a simulation of every West Virginia game on the schedule and posting the full game and stats each week. We couldn't accurately do it last week since Robert Morris is not in the College Football 26 video game, but from this week on out, we've got a simulation for you.

In this week's simulation, the Mountaineers take down Ohio, 28-23, despite being out-scored 13-7 in the second half. Both passing attacks were clicking on all cylinders, with both quarterbacks surprisingly throwing for 300 yards on the day.

Stats are listed below. You can watch the full video at the top of this page.
