West Virginia Football Schedule: Who do the Mountaineers have to play on the road?

The Mountaineers have to deal with three road games in the first five games, but the Big 12 season kicks off in Morgantown against Kansas – that’s not necessarily a plus since you’d like to save your home games for tougher teams.

Fortunately, they get five conference home games and four on the road without having to deal with two Big 12 away games in a row.

Texas is on the road along with Texas Tech, Iowa State, and Oklahoma State, but Oklahoma is at home.

West Virginia Football Schedule What To Know: It's going to be a fight

There won’t be any problems against Towson, and Kansas shouldn’t be an issue, but playing two non-conference games against Pitt and Virginia Tech on the road is a big problem.

Considering the home games in the second half of the season are against Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma, and Kansas State, there aren’t a ton of sure things.

So …

West Virginia Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

The Mountaineers have to somehow come up with at least two upset road wins to be assured of a bowl season.

They’ll be fine, and the defense should be solid, but they’ll likely be road dogs against Pitt, Virginia Tech, Texas, Texas Tech, Iowa State, and Oklahoma State. They’ll come up with at least one win in that bunch, but they’re not going to be perfect at home.

At least splitting those non-conference dates against the Panthers and Hokies is a must.
