Do we beat VPI this year?

It’s probably going to be a long season if West Virginia can’t. Virginia Tech was a bad team last year at 5-6 and they lost a sizeable chunk of the production off that club. When you consider that the game is in Morgantown it’s a game that Neal Brown and company have to find a way to win. The Mountaineers lost a game like this in 2017 where Virginia Tech had a lot of turnover and it still stings the fan base.

If Brown wants fans to truly ‘trust the climb’ finding a way to beat the Hokies in Morgantown is essential. If we’re assigning wins and losses this far out from the season, this is certainly a projected win for me despite the fact it’s a rivalry game and those tend to offer wonky results regardless of talent.
