## Resource

Before the season, national college football analyst Jake Crain predicted West Virginia would finish 3–9. Three games in, the Mountaineers are 3–0—and they’ve beaten No. 25 Virginia, 38–27. So we brought Jake back to answer for his prediction. What did he miss about Rich Rodriguez’s team? Has Mike Hawkins Jr. changed his outlook? And after the Virginia win, what record does he predict for WVU now? The 3–9 pick is on trial. Jake, how do you plead? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
