Tonight, two teams who were expected to do well this season will play each other: the Auburn Tigers and the West Virginia Mountaineers.  Auburn was predicted to rank #10 this year, but has had trouble generating offense.  The most recent embarrassment came at the hands of Arkansas, losing 25-22 two weeks ago.  In that game, the team rushed only 56 yards and both quarterbacks completed less than half of their passes.  This all adds up to one long afternoon of football for the Tigers.  They hope to redeem themselves this weekend.

West Virginia has also underperformed this year.  Last year, the team averaged 456 yards per game; but this year they have only been able to muster up 342.2.  Under their new coach, Bill Stewart, they have had trouble remaining consistent on either side of the ball. Stewart has seen offensive improvement recently though. The game between these two teams will be a good one, but expect it to be low-scoring.
