The Edge
WVU's passing efficiency and third-down dominance give them enough offensive firepower to stay within a field goal on the road in a conference game.
Key Factors
WVU leads in yards per pass attempt 10.2 vs 7.0 — a +3.2 gap, the strongest single predictor cited
WVU third-down conversion rate 52.4% vs ISU 31.9% — a +20pp edge indicating drive sustainability
WVU QB rating 173.1 vs ISU 125.3 — meaningful efficiency gap
Conference underdog spot — staffs know each other, talent gap typically narrower than spread implies
