The Walk Thru Game Day Show: West Virginia vs. Houston Preview + Prediction

Schuyler Callihan and Eugene Napoleon discuss West Virginia's Week 10 matchup vs. Houston

Preview + Prediction: West Virginia vs. Houston

West Virginia (2-6) is back on the road after a quick pit stop at home and will square off with No. 22 Houston (7-1) this Saturday.

On this week's The Walk Thru Game Day Show, we discuss...

McAfee + NIL Era

Last week on College GameDay, Pat McAfee told everyone how he covered for a big-time WVU donor who didn't live up to a commitment when it came to payments. We explain why this isn't just a WVU problem and why it will continue to happen in Morgantown and all across the country. However, can the Mountaineers be competitive in this era? Eugene lays out some tips for how WVU can build its roster and have sustained success.

A Turning point?

Moral victories don't count, but they can make you feel a lot better when things are going really badly. Last week's performance by true freshman quarterback Scotty Fox, in addition to the defense getting back on track, could be the start of this thing turning around.

After the commercial break, Eugene and I reveal our players to watch, go into detail about what WVU has to do on both sides of the ball to win, some key stats you need to know, and make our predictions in our weekly pick'em segment.

This week's pick'ems are:
