They suffered blowout losses to TCU and Texas Tech in their first two Big 12 contests and are looking for a victory to help turn their season around. The Cougars are still in search of their first Big 12 victory in their first season in the conference. They have used a sterling defense and strong rushing attack to compile a four-game winning streak following a Week 1 loss to Penn State. The Mountaineers are already just one win shy of last season's five-win total.
The upstart West Virginia Mountaineers will attempt to build on their breakout season Thursday when they visit the Houston Cougars for an important Big 12 showdown.
