Last week was the renewal of the “Game of the Century.” The 1971 classic between Oklahoma and Nebraska remains the greatest game ever played. On Saturday, few fans and gamblers expected NCAA Football betting lightning to strike twice. Yet, Oklahoma’s vast superiority for depth, speed, and power did not live up to the billing. While those days are long gone, Saturday’s game was a good one. West Virginia is not the most talented program in the Big 12. However, their toughness and tenacity are unquestioned.
