West Virginia hosts Oklahoma State on Saturday in a Big 12 Week 4 matchup that FOX Sports frames around the teams’ contrasting offences. The game will air on FS1.

FOX Sports reports Oklahoma State averages 528 yards of offence per game, the most in the conference, and leads the Big 12 in passing with 306.3 yards per game. Quarterback Drew Mestemaker has thrown for 882 yards and eight touchdowns, according to the preview.

West Virginia leads the conference with 281.3 rushing yards per game. FOX Sports says quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. and running back Cam Cook rank third and fourth among Big 12 rushers.

The preview cites Oklahoma State’s win over No. 6 Oregon and its 59–0 victory over Murray State. Hawkins, it says, had five touchdowns in West Virginia’s win over Virginia, including three rushing scores.

FOX Sports also notes West Virginia allows the conference’s second-most yards per game, at 365.7. It recommends betting over 61.5 total points, citing both teams’ scoring and offensive production. The recommendation is not a confirmed result.
