The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

We’ve all been beating you, our dear readers, over the head with just how important tonight’s football game between No. 6 Oklahoma and No. 12 West Virginia is. I’ll spare you some of that here.

Texas took care of its business, barely, at Kansas today. That means the Longhorns have clinched one of the two spots in next week’s Big 12 Championship Game. The other is up for grabs here at Mountaineer Field tonight. Win and you play at the House the Jerry Jones Built next week against Texas. Lose and you have to wait and see what your bowl destination is.

Here are your listed starters for tonight, but as always take these with a grain of salt. Dylan Tonkery, for example, is listed as the starter at middle linebacker, but we were told not to expect him on the field tonight when we spoke to the coaches this week.

Also keep an eye on the Oklahoma backfield, where usual starter Trey Sermon has been hobbled by a bum ankle but is listed as the starter.
