Early-season samples are matchup indicators, not predictions; game-day availability and role changes can materially alter the picture.

Offensive matchupLawrence Autry
Lawrence Autry is our offensive matchup to follow against Texas Tech. His position puts him close to one of the game's important decisions: how WVU turns opportunities into first downs. Watch the carries that keep WVU out of third-and-long, not just the runs that make the highlights. Keeping the ground game moving would give the Mountaineers more ways to attack Texas Tech.
TMSWV editorial pick
Defensive responseChams Diagne
Chams Diagne is our defensive response to follow against Texas Tech. His position puts him close to one of the game's important decisions: how WVU keeps the opponent from extending possessions. Watch his positioning before the pass arrives and his tackling after the catch. Against Texas Tech, preventing one routine completion from becoming a big play could change a possession.
