It was a weekend to remember for West Virginia football.

The Mountaineers snapped a five-game losing streak — and did it in style — knocking off No. 22 Houston on the road, 45-35.

True freshman quarterback Scotty Fox, making just his third career start, delivered a breakout performance. He threw for one touchdown, ran for two more, and led WVU to its first road victory over a ranked team since 2018. 

In this episode, the “Guys” break down how it happened — and dig into the analytics that made the upset possible.

Brad and Tony also turn their attention to hoops, previewing Tuesday’s regular-season opener between the Mountaineers and Mount St. Mary’s.

Listener questions and comments wrap up the show with another round of Textual Healing.
