Big 12 Exercises Window to Schedule WVU Football vs. Houston

As has become a trend of the season, the Big 12 will wait to figure out the time and network for the Week 12 WVU football game.

On Monday, the conference announced it will exercise its six-day window for when to schedule West Virginia vs. Houston on Nov. 21. The Mountaineers and Cougars will play in WVU’s regular season home finale.

Looking to rebound following a 53-48 loss at Texas Tech, West Virginia needs just one more win to become bowl eligible and send Rich Rodriguez to his first postseason game as WVU’s head coach in two decades.

Still needing one more win for bowl eligibility, WVU football will head back home for a Week 11 matchup with Kansas.

WVU Football Only Slight Favorite at Home Against Kansas

West Virginia and Kansas will kickoff at 5:30 pm ET from Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown and air nationally on ESPNU.

With the loss to the Red Raiders, WVU will enter their next game at 5-4 and 2-4 in Big 12 play. Conversely, Kansas sits at the bottom of the conference at 3-6 and 1-5, also coming off a heartbreaking 33-32 loss to UCF.
