Fans predict the outcome of the West Virginia Arizona road contest

West Virginia fans are starting to lose faith in this football team and it shows in our weekly poll where we ask fans to predict the outcome of each week’s match.

Through the first few weeks, Mountaineer fans were still rooting for West Virginia despite all of its shortcomings. This week is no different, but there is more uncertainty than in recent weeks as only 52.6% of voters see the Old Gold and Blue leaving Tucson happy.

West Virginia will likely field a new starting quarterback tonight, with Garrett Greene listed as questionable with an upper-body injury. Nicco Marchiol saw some action last week in relief of the injured Greene, completing 6 of 13 pass attempts for 58 yards and a touchdown.

It wasn’t a pretty performance at all, but he didn’t have much help around him either. The receivers weren’t winning games on the outside and the Mountaineers couldn’t put anything down the field. With a full week of increased work, Marchiol should be positioned to have a better outing tonight.

West Virginia and Arizona will tip off at 7pm EST on FS1.
