West Virginia Fans Predict the Outcome of WVU at Ohio

Last week, the majority of West Virginia fans who participated in our poll predicted the Mountaineers to beat Robert Morris by 20-29 points. Only 19.5% correctly predicted a 40+ point win.

In our poll for this week's game between West Virginia and Ohio, we had two options that went down to the wire. Only a very small percentage expect the Bobcats to pull off the upset.

Here are the results

West Virginia wins big: 44.9%

West Virginia wins close: 51.4%

Ohio wins: 3.8%

After watching Ohio nearly pull off the upset of Rutgers on the road last week, it's easy to see why some West Virginia fans are a little nervous heading into Athens. Yes, it is expected to be an even divide in the crowd, but that only plays a small factor into the game. This will be a much stiffer test for West Virginia's defense as they'll face one of the most underrated quarterbacks in all of college football in Parker Navarro. If WVU's defense doesn't keep contain, it could be a long day and could force the offense to try and outscore the Bobcats in order to leave Athens with a win.
