West Virginia vs. Coastal Carolina: Preview & Notes
Rodriguez was pretty clear in his comments throughout 2025 that he didn’t think WVU had a quarterback on the roster that was well-situated to run his offense.Â
Hawkins, who transfers in after five scattered starts at Oklahoma, could change that. That’s the case that WVU could still be undervalued here as a large-but-not-giant favorite against middling Coastal Carolina.Â
WVU is 19-6 ATS as a home favorite since 2018. Homefield advantage and the run game are typically strong in Morgantown, which often leads to late-game covers.Â
