Game Preview

Not many expected West Virginia and North Carolina to be in Duke’s Mayo Bowl, but for entirely different reasons.

West Virginia (8-4) was picked last in the preseason Big 12 poll and head coach Neal Brown firmly was on the hot seat. The Mountaineers finished 6-3 in the Big 12, good for a tie for fourth place.

The Mountaineers are probably excited to be here.
