WVU partners with app to make parking easier

BY ALANNA LONGNECKER STAFF WRITER West Virginia University and the free pay-to-park app Parkmobile teamed up to make paying for parking at WVU easier and faster.

Parkmobile is a service that can be accessed via cell phone, computer or tablet. Users must register with the service and connect a payment method to their account.

After connecting either a Paypal account, debit card or credit card to a Parkmobile account, users can enter their up-to-date license plate number and select the zone they are parked in either by scan-

ning a QR code or entering the zone number provided at the lot at which their vehicle is parked, according to Parkmobile’s website.

There are several Parkmobile parking zones throughout the Downtown, Evansdale and Medical campuses.

Instead of constantly rushing to a meter or pay-to-park area, app users can add more time to their transaction on the go with their cell phone and receive notifications when time is almost up.

Additionally, there is a “Find My Car” option via GPS in case a user forgets where they parked.

Daniel Walsh, sophomore journalism student, thinks

The logo to the parkmobile app, which helps paying for parking at WVU easier. the new partnership between WVU and Parkmobile is convenient for busy students.

“A lot of people get tickets because they feed the meters

thinking they have enough time,” Walsh said. “Then you’re in class and sort of forget that it’s running out. If you get alerts, that would be really

nice. You don’t even need to leave class.”

Other Morgantown residents find solace in the new way tickets can be avoided, too.

“I am constantly looking for new apps and ways to improve services to our tenants,” said David Friend, who has been the manager and owner of Morgantown’s downtown Friend Rentals for 29 years. “I think (Parkmobile) is an excellent idea for places that have parking meters and (for) students because it will help reduce the amount of fines handed out.”

Friend does not believe it will affect the way his tenants purchase parking passes from

him, however.

“Our monthly rate is much lower than metered rates,” Friend explained.

First-time parking violations at WVU weigh in at $20 per citation, unless the driver is parked in an ADA-accessible space without a permit, in which case the citations begin at $200 per violation, according to WVU’s Transportation and Parking website.

Compared to the typical $1.25 per hour at metered spaces, $20 is not a favorable price to WVU’s students, as Walsh confirmed.

As Friend said, “I think it will make it easier to park,” which seems to be the essence of Parkmobile.

NAACP“hosts homelessness awareness event

BY DANIEL BLAIR STAFF WRITER

In an effort to bring awareness to the plight of homelessness in the area, “One Morgantown Community” began Friday evening as participants slept in boxes and tents to simulate the feeling of homelessness.

The sleep-out was only second of a three-part endeavor by the WVU chapter of the NAACP in honor of National Homelessness and Hunger Week, which runs each year on the week before Thanksgiving.

Volunteers began assembling care packages and other essentials for the homeless community Thursday evening

As an organization for social justice and equality we are able to learn about an underrepresented group and attempt to give back.

the Mountainlair green. On Friday, participants will volunter their afternoon at the Morgantown Community Kitchen.

“Community service is the best way to bring people together,” said Trinity Richardson, the Community Service Chair of WVU’s chapter of the NAACP and the organizer of the event. “As an organization for social justice and equality we are able to learn about an underrepresented group and attempt to give back.”

Richardson said the idea was partially inspired by the shoot-

ing of a homeless man in Morgantown earlier this semester, as well as a similar event held in Clarksburg earlier this year, which encouraged her to attempt to better integrate the WVU campus community with that of Morgantown.

“Students seldom know what goes on in town unless it’s something drastic, and when I have visited schools in other large cities, such as Baltimore and Philadelphia, they seem to constantly interact with the community,” Richardson said.

Richardson hoped the event would create awareness beyond Morgantown.

She said several local community members and business owners contributed to the event, in particular, Ray Glymph, a WVU graduate and owner of 4th & Goal Sports Bar on Walnut Street, who spoke to his experiences with the homeless community.

She also credits Alexis Gainer McMillen of the Center of Service and Learning and the Monongalia County Home-

Tips for staying safe during the Holiday Break Don’t let the excitement of heading home for the heartiest of meals outweigh your safety and security. According to Crime Prevention Coordinator for WVU University Police Department Peggy Runyon, break-ins increase this time of the year.

“This is a time when the economy in West Virginia is bad, so you have people who do without, and then you also have people that have addictions and they just look for things that they could sell to somebody else, like cell phones or jewelry, or a watch,” Runyon said.

Runyon shared a few tips for keeping your dorm, apartment and yourself safe when you leave for break:

BY JENNIFER GARDNER

4 5

.Communicate with your roommate(s)

MANAGING EDITOR

Know when your roommate(s) will be leaving and returning, and keep them in the loop as well. In case something seems wrong or out of place, it helps to know who was around last.

“It’s a college town so people know that kids leave at a certain time and come back at a certain time,” Runyon said. Make sure you pack valuables or put them in a safe place before you leave. If you live in a dorm with a closet you can lock, ensure you do so and while newer dorms lock automatically, Runyon said problems typically arise in the dorms where they do not. If you live in an apartment with a deadbolt, use it, and ensure all windows and balcony doors are locked also.

If you live in an apartment or house, warming your place back up to a comfortable temperature may take more energy than just leaving it on a low setting. Try turning it down 7 to 10 degrees instead, but make sure your furnace stays on so your pipes don’t freeze.

1

. Lock your doors

2

. Take a picture of your room

Runyon suggests taking pictures of your space just in case anything looks out of place when you get back. She said students tend to take belongings home for break and then think they’re missing when they come back, and it’s not at all uncommon.

“A lot of kids switch out their summer and winter stuff this time of the year and don’t remember taking something home,” Runyon said. She said taking a picture can help for reference.

3

. Share travel plans with your family and friends

When traveling, make sure you let your family and friends know when they should expect you.

Runyon suggests using the Livesafe app so they can ensure you’re traveling safely along. She said the app will alert those watching your progress if you were to quit moving for a period of time.

. Turn your heat down but not off

6

. Keep household items away from vents and unplug appliances

To avoid a fire hazard, ensure no vents will be blocked if something in your apartment were to shift or fall. Also, unplug any small appliances while you’re gone. It’s a good idea to leave a light on while you aren’t home. You can find a cheap timer for your lamp at Target for around $5.

7

. Make sure your car is good to go

Before taking off on a long drive home, Runyon wants everyone to remember to check their fluid levels and tire pressure, as well as fill up on gas. She also suggests waiting it out if the weather gets bad and keeping off the roads.

Runyon said though the station does tend to quiet down when students are on break, she wants to remind the community that officers will still be on duty 24/7, checking to ensure building are locked and students who remain on campus are safe. You can reach UPD at (304)293-3677.

Remain vigilant Mountaineers.

Who is winning in today’s job market?

BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR One of the biggest concerns for college students is the uncertainty of the job market just beyond the classroom. While predictions are everywhere, certainty certainly isn’t. Worse, current numbers for the job market aren’t necessarily what we’ll see when it’s us filling out the applications.

But they’re still a very important gauge of where things are and where they’ll likely be for some time.

LinkedIn released a list of the top entry-level positions it had gathered through profile data. While this data is based on the site’s user base and the fields typically taking advantage of it, the data still accounts for millions of recent college graduates.

So, who’s winning?

LinkedIn’s top five are as follows: 1. Account manager Median salary: $50,000 Account managers look to secure and continue business relationships with customers while managing sales. This career most often involves those with degrees in business administration or marketing.

2. Software engineerMedian salary: $80,000 S o f t w a re e n g i n e e r s

build and manage software based on customer needs.

This career most often involves those with degrees in computer science, computer systems engineering, software engineering or mathematics.

3. Business analyst Median salary: $59,000 Business analysts often monitor, translate, simplify, organize and elicit requirements while developing technical solutions and working with a company’s sales. This career most often involves those with degrees handling business administration, accounting, law, communication and business.

4. Customer service representative Median salary: $35,000 Customer service representatives interact with customers to inform, assist, and answer questions.

This career is a more general position, filled often by those with at least a high school degree, ranging all the way up through nearly every college degree.

5.Administrative assistant Median salary: $39,500 Administrative assistants tackle the day-to-day of a business either behind the scenes or right on the frontlines, and require a variety of skills in planning, orga-

nization and communication. This career is a more general position, filled often by those with at least a high school degree, but degrees involving creativity, communication, planning, organization, management, and finances certainly help.

According to this data, those focusing most on business management, mathematics, and communication are winning in terms of market availability. For those involved with these fields now, rejoice, but those who aren’t shouldn’t worry too hard just yet.

According to a 2016 report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, employers are estimated to hire roughly 5 percent more graduates from the class of 2016 than 2015, an extremely positive trend in the market at large.

As well, the unemployment rates for graduates of all types are significantly lower than that of those without college degrees, in most cases nearly two times less.

The job market is never very certain, but on the back of recent positive trends, students can feel a little less stressed that there is something waiting for them to put their diploma towards in the end.

Students Sound Off: Job Certainty Leo Sunchez, Sophomore Age:20 Major: Political Science Career Aspiration: Military From: Manassas VA “I found international relations very interesting, and would love to transfer that to a military career.”

Shelby Sjurseth, Sophomore Age: 20 Major: Forensics and Biology Career Aspiration: Pathologist Assistant From: Culpeper VA “I have some leadership experience, with the photography club, here at the University, that will help me standout”, she said. “I think the fact that I am a double major will help me stand out.”

Katrina Fleeman, Senior Age: 20 Major: Business Management Career Aspiration: Salon Owner From: Burgettstown PA “I am also minoring in German, so I hope to travel abroad and do a little bit of international business”, she said. “Entrepreneur business is down..., so they are looking for 20-30 year olds to be innovative” PHOTOS COURTESTY OF RYAN WALTERS

Young conductor makes trains sing on the weekends

BY EMILY ZEKONIS STAFF WRITER Coming from a small town, 20-year-old WVU junior Alex Chandler had few options when searching for a job her senior year of high school.

She spent the summer working as a waitress for a company catering trains on the West Virginia Central Railroad and with hard work she was able to work her way up the ladder to a job that, rather than going to, came to her everyday.

Chandler is not only a hard-working WVU history student, but the first and youngest female train conductor on the WV Central Railroad. Every weekend from Friday to Sun-

day she returns to her home in Pickens, WV to do ground work for a line that runs through four counties.

“It’s a challenge,” Chandler said, “but I enjoy my job, I don’t know how you wouldn’t.”

Chandler attributes her love for the job to not only the work she does and the history of the antique engine from the 1930’s, but the people she meets and the connections the older generation riders have with the train.

“I’ve met people from as far in the U.S. as Alaska,” Chandler said, “We even get people from Germany who come here just to ride the train.”

The most memorable interaction Chandler has had with

a passenger, however, does not come from a person who lives far away. Chandler recounted her meeting with the man who built the engine she worked on.

“He built our engine in the ‘30s,” Chandler recalled the touching event, “He sat there, unable to speak from a previous seizure, and stared at it and cried.”

Passengers recognize Chandler and her crew for their work and the positive ride experience they provide with their passion, but Chandler has been recognized herself for her dedication to the railroad at such a young age.

Her hard work to obtain her federal conductor license was recognized with the presenta-

tion of the WV Living Wonder Woman award for being the youngest and first female train conductor on the WV Central Railroad.

Even with such a difficult, yet rewarding job, and a recognizable title, Chandler completes everyday school work and activities as any other student would.

“I rushed Sigma Alpha recently,” Chandler said, “I play the guitar, the banjo, the mandolin and the fiddle.”

Chandler showcases so many values of a true Mountaineer. She is hardworking and passionate about her work, but is still able to have fun and be a well rounded student.

U92 on the Review: Tanya Tagaq’s “Retribution”

BY JACKSON MONTGOMERY U92 MEDIA DIRECTOR If Inuk-Canadian throatsinger Tanya Tagaq’s last album, “Animism,” was an exploration of the spirits that make up our natural world, her newest release, “Retribution,” chronicles those spirits as they grow increasingly angered by human activity.

Tagaq’s fourth fulllength opens with a slow build from the windy sounds of the arctic tundra, centering the listener in her homeland before the voice of a child echoes out, calling us into the song. An

Inuit drum beats out the slow pace as a man chants in Inuktitut (the language of the Inuit peoples of northern Canada) what can only be described as a mournful hymn.

The opening track “Ajaaja” transitions into the titular “Retribution” as Tagaq delivers her introductory poetry, “Our mother grows angry. Retribution will be swift. We squander her soil and suck out her sweet, black blood to burn it. We turn money into God and salivate over opportunities to crumple and crinkle our souls for that paper, that gold.”

As the intensity of her

delivery builds, we’re introduced to a layer of her signature vocal stylings, somewhere between the snarl of an angry wolf and a seer channeling the beyond in nonexistent tongues.

Unfortunately, “Retribution” is a bit of an early peak for the album. Tagaq’s mangled barking and wailing builds to a righteous fury over the eight minute track, but she never quite hits that peak throughout the rest. Listeners expecting that visceral explosion of sound on each track will be let down as the album moves into more experimental territory.

This is, however, not to say the rest of the LP isn’t incredibly well arranged.

Aside from the vocals, Tagaq finds her stride with contemporaries like Jenny Hval and Holly Herndon, or stretching back a few years, Bjork and Nine Inch Nails.

The music transitions between chilling dark ambient tracks like “Summoning,” complete with a Penderecki-reminiscent string section, and pounding industrial grooves like the seventh track “Cold.”

Similar to the opening of “Animism,” a cover of the Pixies’ “Caribou,” “Retribution” closes with a cover

of Nirvana’s “Rape Me.” Just as “Caribou” related perfectly to the 2015 release’s ideas of animals and nature, “Rape Me” works by giving a voice to Mother Earth, “Retribution’s” pseudo-protagonist. As Kurt Cobain wrote it, the song is from the point of view of a rape victim experiencing Stockholm Syndrome. The narrator has become so disillusioned with what is happening that they accept it and welcome it at this point, just as humans have become so disconnected from the earth that we continue to destroy it for our own greed and profit.

Tagaq’s previous work has won multiple awards, and it’s easy to see why.

There’s a very slim selection of contemporary alternative music that bridges ancient traditions with modern sounds, and “Retribution” does it with such a strong message of aboriginal independence and environmental justice that it’s nearly impossible to listen to without inspiring action.

I certainly look forward to future work from Tanya Tagaq, and hopefully some collaborations with like-minded artists to draw out the full extent of her prowess.

How to spend your Thanksgiving in Morgantown CORRESPONDENT Ah, the Friday before Thanksgiving! Everyone is getting ready to depart from Morgantown, en route to their families to enjoy a week of sleeping in, eating delicious food and not worrying about assignments or exams until they get back.

For some though, Morgantown is their holiday home. With no classes or comraderie and most of campus shut down and deserted, holding down the fort can seem like a dreary exercise in isolation. If you don’t have anyone to cook for, you might even pass up the Thanksgiving feast!

Fortunately, staying in town for the break doesn’t have to be so gloomy. There are events going on all week to keep you entertained while

your friends are away.

First and foremost, you’ll need to make dinner plans for Thursday afternoon. Lakeview Golf Resort is hosting its annual Thanksgiving Harvest Buffet from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For $28 and a reservation you can get in on a full gourmet feast, complete with all the traditional Turkey Day fixings plus tons of extras.

If you can’t make it out to the lake, dine on the river at the Waterfont Place Hotel. Its festivities come in a hair pricier at $32, but the cider-brined, locally-sourced turkey roast sounds incredible. Plus, it has a “football lounge” so you can watch the Lions and Vikings face off on the big screen while you eat.

If a Thanksgiving buffet seems like the antithesis of your diet, you can make room beforehand

at the Morgantown Turkey Trot 5K sponsored by Morgantown Running at 9 a.m.

However, if dancing suits you better than running, local legend Billy Matheny will be rocking out 123 Pleasant St. at 10 p.m. Burn off your leftovers the next day with a little headbanging when famed WV natives Karma to Burn take the stage as well.

At 2 p.m. on Nov. 20, there is a “Girl’s Day Out Bash” at the Kingwood Community Building in neighboring Preston County, featuring a prize drawing for jewelry, designer products and more, plus free food and wine.

If you want to get some holiday shopping out of the way, look no further than the shops on High Street on Nov. 26 for Small Business Saturday.

Quick and Easy Thanksgiving Shopping List Under $35

BY JACKSON MONTGOMERY CULTURE EDITOR

After months of 70-degrees-and-above days, it seems like cold weather is finally, slowly arriving and here to stay.

Stay warm and stylish this winter in the season’s hottest coat trends: faux fur, puffers and fashion-meets-function anoraks.

The faux fur trend is back again this year, from shearling-trimmed suede and leather to cotton-candy-colored all-over fuzz. Topping off an outfit with a faux fur coat gives a look of simple sophistication, and reflects the soft trends and hues of the year.

Add white fur to an all-black outfit for an effortlessly cool look, or pile pastel shearling over more light-colored pieces as a breath of springy PHOTO COURTESY OF HTTP://NYLON.COM freshness in your winter wardrobe. H&M has a decent selection of furry coats and vests and shearling motorcycle jackets for less than $100.

Puffer coats are also making a comeback. Not only are they super warm, puffer coats can be found in almost every color and can give a cool, sporty flair to any look.

Japanese retailer Uniqlo has multiple color options for each style of the basic down jackets. For more diverse style options and materials, head to http://asos.com. ASOS has a wide range of silhouettes and options available in velvet (the midnight blue Warehouse Velvet Padded Jacket, $149), metallic (the silver ASOS Ultimate Padded Jacket, $98) and satin (the hot pink ASOS Satin Padded Bomber Jacket, $76).

Military-hued cargo and anorak jackets are another of this winter’s big coat trends, possibly thanks to Kanye West’s utilitarian Yeezy Season 4 line. Another practical option, an anorak can add some toughness to the season’s more feminine trends, and can be easily customized with patches, embroidery and buttons. Try a large flagship store like Macy’s or Nordstrom for a wide spectrum of military jacket styles and prices. For a less expensive option, Charlotte Russe carries many different anoraks, all priced around $25.

WVU ignores rankings ahead of Saturday

BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL It’s time for the WVU football team to play one of college football’s most anticipated matchups of the week as it faces off against No. 9 Oklahoma.

However, with all the drama relating to West Virginia’s latest spot in the College Football Playoff rankings, the Mountaineers are focused on blocking it all out as Saturday approaches.

“We’ve played in some big games,” said WVU Head Coach Dana Holgorsen.

“Nothing bigger than the one we played in last week (against Texas). I thought our guys did a good job of just focusing in on what it is.”

Last week, the Mountaineers were counted out by many with notions of WVU being on “upset watch” and that the Longhorns and running back D’Onta Foreman would be too much. It’s a similar notion that surrounds the Oklahoma game with another Heisman Trophyhopeful in Oklahoma receiver Dede Westbrook.

A familiar ideology within WVU is that the next game is typically the most important one of the season and to take it one game at a time. WVU’s short-term

Running back Justin Crawford sprints for a first down during WVU’s 35-32 victory over BYU at FedEx Field in Landover, MD on Sept. 24.

“

Worry about what you can control, block everything out. I think our guys are at a point where they know how to block everything out.

- Dana Holgorsen, WVU Head Coach

”

thinking is what propelled it to the current state.

While it’s hard for Holgorsen to limit what his team hears around the WVU campus, or stress the importance a team’s pace to the younger guys, Hol-

gorsen relies on his upperclassmen to takeover and lead by example.

“We have good older kids who understand that all we do is preach about what’s important is the next one,” Holgorsen said.

Top: Dana Holgorsen and the Mountaineeres wait to run onto the field prior to the 17-16 victory over Kansas State on Oct. 1.

Bottom: Wide receiver Jovon Durante sprints past a Texas defender while teammate Ka’Raun White blocks during the 24-20 win over Texas on Nov. 12.

“Worry about what you control, block everything out. I think our guys are at a point where they know how to block everything out.”

West Virginia, despite having one loss on its resumé, is ranked No. 14 in the College Football Playoff Rankings. Some questions about its placement exist because a three-loss USC is ranked No. 13 and

six two-loss teams precede it in the rankings.

Saturday’s game against Oklahoma has much bigger implications because of the latest ranking.

“We take it one day at a time,” said WVU lineman Tyler Orlosky. “It’s an important game because it’s the next game for us. Obviously this game could help determine the Big 12 cham-

pion. I think that’s one of those things you have to stop worrying about and just worry about what you do each day in practice.”

For the Mountaineers, it’s another opportunity to play under the lights in Morgantown. While it’s a story about two of the top teams in the conference, most of the players are itching to get on the field.

“At the end of the day, we just want to win,” said WVU cornerback Maurice Fleming. “Just have fun…be comfortable and just play.”

With an expected rise of eyes tuning into the game, Holgorsen remains focused on blocking everything out.

“We didn’t listen to people when they said we were bad, don’t listen to them when they say you’re good,” Holgorsen said. “It’s been a constant communication all year when it comes to that.

“I’m happy for Mountaineer Nation to be able to have this and look forward to Saturday night. We’ll get ready to play and put a good product out there they can be proud of.”

Gameday Predictions DANA HOLGORSEN QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “It’s the same (Oklahoma Head Coach) Bob Stoops coached Oklahoma team—extremely talented, play hard, with effort, play with a chip on their shoulder, play with an attitude you know that is no different this year than it has been. Everybody is excited about this matchup, and I know our guys will prepare hard this week to give themselves a chance to beat the mighty Sooners, so I’m excited about that.”

Slowing down Mayfield, Westbrook a tall order

BY PATRICK KOTNIK SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL This Saturday night in Morgantown, the Mountaineers have the chance to get one step closer to winning their first ever Big 12 championship in front of a primetime national audience.

Standing in the way this week are the Oklahoma Sooners, powered by an offense led by quarterback Baker Mayfield and receiver Dede Westbrook.

The Mayfield-Westbrook connection is a vital part of the Sooners offense that has been lethal to opposing defenses this season.

“They have an outstanding quarterback,” said WVU Head Football Coach Dana Holgorsen.

“What he’s doing with (redshirt senior wide receiver) Westbrook is impressive. I haven’t seen a combo put up these kind of numbers in a long time here recently.”

Mayfield has thrown for 3,212 yards this season, which ranks eighth in the nation, along with 33 touchdowns. Thirteen of those 33 touchdowns have gone to Westbrook.

Westbrook’s 1,254 receiving yards leads the Big 12 and ties for the third most in the nation.

O ve ra l l , O k l a h o ma ranks third in the country

“

I can’t sleep at night. This Westbrook guy is a good player. I think this will be a good test for us.

- Blue Adams, WVU cornerbacks coach

”

in total offense and 10th in passing offense.

“Offensively, they’re playing as good as anyone in the country,” Holgorsen said. “I think they’re struggling a little bit early, but they’re young, they’re getting better, and they’re pretty dang good.”

This potent offense led

by Mayfield and Westbrook will perhaps be the toughest challenge WVU’s defense has faced all season. A key matchup will be between Westbrook and WVU’s secondary

that hasn’t allowed any receiver to have 150-plus receiving yards in a single game this season. Westbrook has recorded over 150 receiving yards in four games this season.

“I can’t sleep at night.

This Westbrook guy is a good player, good player,” said WVU cornerbacks coach Blue Adams. “I think this will be a good test for us.”

Tony Gibson’s defense, though, has risen to numerous challenges against a few high-powered Big 12

offenses this season.

Texas Tech averaged more than 50 points a game going into its matchup with WVU in Lubbock earlier this season, but were held to a season low 17 points.

TCU quarterback Kenny Hill threw for a season low 148 yards against the Mountaineers, and just last week, WVU held Texas running back and the nation’s second leading rusher, D’Onta Foreman, to less than 200 yards rushing, despite him averaging 295.5 yards on the ground in the past two games.

“Our guys do a great job of preparing each week whether it’s week one or

week 10,” said WVU safeties coach Matt Coponi.

“It’s a big game because it’s the next game.”

No team in the Big 12 this season has yet to figure out how to shut down Oklahoma’s offense, but for Mountaineers, shutting down Mayfield and Westbrook will be key in defeating the defending Big 12 champions and moving up in the College Football Playoff Rankings.

“At the end of the day we just want to win,” said WVU redshirt senior safety Maurice Fleming.

“Just have fun and let our hair down and be comfortable and just play.”

WVU awaits biggest game in 23 years

BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER

ADOPTIONS

FOOTBALL It’s been 23 years since Morgantown, West Virginia has seen a game like this.

For the first time since 1993, Milan Puskar Stadium will host a matchup between AP top-10 teams, as the No. 10 West Virginia Mountaineers (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) take on No. 9 Oklahoma (8-2, 7-0 Big 12) in a fight for Big 12 supremacy.

It’s the perennial kings of the conference against the outsiders from the Appalachians, and West Virginia is motivated by more than just winning the conference— they want Saturday’s game to be revenge for all the times they’ve tried and failed.

“I’ve been here a long time, and we’re 0-4 against Oklahoma,” said senior center Tyler Orlosky. “Obviously you want to win this game.

It’ll set you up for the rest of the season, finish out strong, and hopefully we do.”

After West Virginia squeezed by Kansas State on Oct. 1, Oklahoma remained as the last conference rival the Mountaineers have never beaten in the Big 12 era. And never before has a Big 12 game between Oklahoma and WVU had stakes this high.

Oklahoma is the last unbeaten team in Big 12 play.

West Virginia and Oklahoma State are the only two oneloss teams, and the Mountaineers have one clear route to their first-ever Big 12 title—beat the Sooners, win out, and hope Oklahoma State loses to either TCU or Oklahoma in its last two

Mountaineer wide receiver Shelton Gibson gets brought down near the goal line after a big reception during last year’s 4424 loss at Oklahoma. The Sooners visit Morgantown Saturday. games.

That’s much easier said than done. After early season nonconference losses to highly ranked Ohio State and Houston teams, the Sooners have hit their stride in reeling off a seven-game conference winning streak, riding one of the best cores of skill position players in the country.

The Sooners average 44.2 points per game, ninth best in the country. Their offense features possibly the most productive quarterback-wide receiver pairing in college football: junior quarterback Baker Mayfield (3,212 yards, 33 touchdowns, seven interceptions) and one of the country’s biggest breakout stars, senior receiver Dede Westbrook (68 receptions, 1,254 yards, 14 touchdowns).

Westbrook broke a streak of six straight games with more than 100 yards receiving last week, accounting for a comparatively paltry 88

yards and two touchdowns in a comfortable 45-24 win over Baylor. Westbrook might be the best wide receiver the Mountaineer defense will have to face all season, and his looming presence is inspiring some fear.

“I can’t sleep at night,” said cornerbacks coach Blue Adams. “This Westbrook guy is a good player. Good at changing direction, good acceleration, good deceleration. Good route runner, good speed. I think this will be a good test for us.”

West Virginia will also have to handle the running back combination of sophomore Joe Mixon, whose 937 rushing yards is second in the Big 12, and junior Samaje Perine, who smashed WVU for 242 yards and four touchdowns last time the Sooners came to Morgantown.

All that talent will make keeping pace with the Sooner offense a mighty tough task for West Virginia, whose offensive effort earned stern

criticism from head coach Dana Holgorsen after managing just 24 points in a close win at Texas last week.

West Virginia has had success holding back high-powered Big 12 offenses this season, and the Sooner defense has had issues at times— Oklahoma has given up 40+ points four times this season.

Oklahoma has often found itself in shootouts this season, and the Mountaineers have a chance to exploit that defense, if they make their chances count and do the simple things.

“Routine plays turn into big plays,” said quarterback Skyler Howard. “What they do at Texas Tech is kind of unconventional. Pat Mahomes is just slinging it around, that’s where they found their success. Ours is going to be just playing our game, taking what they give us. It doesn’t matter who we play, where we play, what time we’re playing, we’re preparing to win the same.”
