West Virginia Mountaineers CFB Week 13 Betting Lines
On Saturday, the West Virginia Mountaineers will host their Senior Day home finale against the UCF Knights. Both teams are wrapping up disappointing seasons that have caused their respective coaches to experience a decline in quality of life. Neal Brown of West Virginia and Gus Malzahn of UCF should be glad that they signed expensive extensions last year. West Virginia fans are ready to burn the couches after a bad home loss to the mediocre Baylor Bears. The biggest part of the rage of Mounties fans is that there is no way out from a coach that they don’t want.

West Virginia has always fielded a competitive football team. The Mountaineers have been to at least one bowl game in every decade since the 1920’s, a feat not many can claim.
Art Lewis was the first coach to lead the team to a national ranking. The Mountaineers finished in the AP Top 20 for three straight seasons under Lewis in the 1950s, and he took them to a Sugar Bowl appearance.
Don Nehlen is the most famous coach in the program’s history. He twice led the Mountaineers to an 11-1 record during his 20-year tenure in Morgantown and nearly led them to national championships.
If not for a loss to Pittsburgh at the end of 2007, Rich Rodriguez would have taken West Virginia to a BCS Championship Game appearance. The Mountaineers were ranked No. 2 in the nation heading into that game and had looked dominant all year long. If WVU hadn’t lost that game, the Big East might have been able to stay together.
The Mountaineers have been an odd fit in the Big 12 Conference, far away from most of the schools in the conference. But West Virginia is a proud state with a strong football passion. Neal Brown’s 9-4 season in 2023 with a win in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl lifted the spirits of Mountaineer fans everywhere and sparked hope for the future.
