We are back with another episode of The Walk Thru GameDay Show, presented by West Virginia On SI.
Segment 1: Blind Rankings
For the first time ever on The Walk Thru, we play a game of blind ranking former Mountaineers. I give Eugene five running backs to rank, and he gives me five quarterbacks — ranging across all eras of WVU football and talent levels.
Segment 2: Bowl Projections
WVU didn’t improve or hurt its bowl stock last week due to the bye, but there are some new postseason projections out for the Mountaineers. We discuss them and give our thoughts on what a successful, yet realistic finish looks like.
Segment 3: Trivia
This week’s question: What is Rich Rod’s winning percentage coming out of a bye week as the head coach at WVU?
A. .625
B. .545
C: .380
Segment 4: Napoleon’s Dynamite/Players to Watch
After being held under the century mark for two straight weeks, Cam Cook needs to have himself a big game, and that’s who Eugene highlights in our Napoleon’s Dynamite segment. I give the Mountaineer to watch on the defensive side of the ball, and one player on offense and defense for Texas Tech.
Segment 5: West Virginia vs. Texas Tech Game Preview
Tech made a switch at quarterback, going from Will Hammond to the dynamic Thomas Castellanos. We go deep on what type of challenge he will be for the Mountaineers’ defense, discuss Tech’s insanely good rushing duo, and what West Virginia will be facing on the other side of the ball with a stout front seven.
