WVU's Big Win Against No. 22 Houston

A recent game between WVU and No. 22 Houston has sparked discussion about the Big 12's football performance.

The game saw WVU, an underdog, leading 31-28 with 13 minutes remaining. A notable play was a fourth-and-four call from Houston's 34-yard line, which has been described as one of the best offensive calls of the season by Rich Rodriguez.

The situation was as follows: WVU freshman quarterback Scotty Fox Jr. was in an empty set, with an H-back lined up off to the left, making a pass the expected play. However, Houston's defense countered with five pass rushers, leaving the middle of the field open.

It was either one of the best offensive calls of the season by Rich Rodriguez or Houston coach Willie Fritz should be searching for a new defensive coordinator today.

Author's summary: WVU's win highlights the average performance of the Big 12 in football.
