MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The Oklahoma-bound Mountaineers haven’t been three-touchdown dogs since the 2003 trip to Miami. Can the oddsmakers be as wrong about this game as they were about that one?
It’s Week 2 and, against even bigger odds, there’s a Bobby Petrino-coached team among the picks. The scabs from his Ozark mountain road rash have healed, but Petrino’s reputation as a standup guy who respects HR protocol? That will take time (or an 11-win season) to rebuild.
Alas, Week 1 kudos to Goose Gyorko, the lone undefeated panelist thanks to his Clemson pick (and thanks to the Georgia field-goal snapper’s case of the yips). Everyone else should be on threat-level midnight alert this week: The last-place guy loses his spot to Craig James.
