Bill Stewart isn't walking through that door. Greg Robinson isn't walking through that door. For the respective fanbases of the Syracuse Orange and West Virginia Mountaineers, that is a good thing.
The Mountaineers are looking for their third consecutive win this weekend. The Orange, who haven't beaten West Virginia in the Carrier Dome since 2001, are looking to repeat the result of last year's 19-14 upset win.
West Virginia has won two consecutive games, including a convincing 41-16 win over Connecticut on October 8th. Dana Holgorsen's team seems to have turned the page since losing big at home to LSU in late September, following that game with blowouts over Bowling Green and the Huskies. Last week's bye segues into a two-game road trip for the Mountaineers, who will travel to Piscataway to take on Rutgers on October 29th.
Syracuse is also coming off a bye, with its latest win coming over Tulane on October 8. The Orange have had an emotional start to the season, playing in three overtime games that yielded a record of 2-1 in those contests. Now comes perhaps the most difficult challenge of the 2011 slate in West Virginia.
