Pregame social media buzz ahead of Texas vs. West Virginia
Texas and West Virginia face off in Week 5 for what feels like a must-win game for both programs in terms of Big 12 title hopes.
The Longhorns and Mountaineers enter the contest with identical 2-2 records. Texas is coming off of a heartbreaking overtime loss to Texas Tech last week, while West Virginia convincingly defeated Virginia Tech.
The loser of this particular matchup will begin the season 0-2 in conference play. The Big 12 title race is wide open at this point and seems much tougher than a season ago.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Texas will be without starting quarterback Quinn Ewers for another week. Ewers is eyeing a return for Oct. 8 against Oklahoma.
Here’s a look at pregame social media buzz ahead of the Texas-West Virginia matchup.

Nobody wants victory more than our players and coaches. Nobody is putting in the work more than our players and coaches. So with that being said…We ARE getting the dub tonight then our boys are moving on to bag and tag OU next week. #IBelieve
