Summary

The Longhorns return home this week in time for what is expected to be a tough Big 12 matchup against the Mountaineers. No. 22 ranked Texas entered game week as a touchdown favorite over unranked West Virginia, but with how inconsistent this Texas team has played this season, this game could easily go either way. On this week's interview episode of The Flagship Podcast, Mike Casazza of Eersports.com joins to the show for an in depth preview of the Mountaineers, who make their way to Austin, Texas with the same 4-2 record as the Longhorns. Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and Mike Casazza break down what has been working for West Virginia in Neal Brown's second year on the job in Morgantown, how much of an impact Arizona grad transfer LB Tony Fields has made on the Mountaineers' defense and areas where WVU could struggled when going up against this talented, yet inconsistent, Texas team in Year 4 of the Tom Herman era. Texas and West Virginia fans won't want to miss this week's interview episode of The Flagship Podcast.

0:00.0	Join now here on the flagship podcast preview of the Texas West Virginia game by Mike Cassaza of Earsports.com, the West Virginia site on the 24-7 Sports Network.
0:19.0	Mike, how you doing?
0:20.6	I'm good. Actually, I want to tell you something. I hope that one day I'm on the hot seat with 24-7 Sports Network. Mike, how you doing? I'm good.
0:21.2	Actually, I want to tell you something.
0:22.4	I hope that one day I'm on the hot seat with 24-7, and you're writing about it.
0:29.0	Oh, no.
0:30.1	That's, well, I hope for your sake and my sake that that day never comes.
0:37.0	But that is, we've never had a flagship podcast kick off quite that way.
0:44.5	But Mike, these two teams come in off of victories in very different ways.
0:51.3	They both beat undefeated teams in Big 12 play. Texas, we're still trying to figure
0:56.3	out how they won their game. West Virginia, steamrolled Kansas State. What stood out about that
1:03.8	win over K State that maybe we hadn't seen from West Virginia up to this point? They controlled
1:10.1	the game.
1:17.8	They didn't hurt themselves and they didn't let Kansas State do anything that Kansas State can't do.
1:19.5	And that part sounds weird, but there have been times this year where West Virginia
1:22.9	has played a team that shouldn't be able to do something and that team is able to do it.
1:28.9	And it's popped up at bad times. they were not going to beat west virginia's defense with will howard and they were not
1:34.4	going to let deuce vaughn beat them so what's going to happen is the freshman quarterback going to get hot
1:38.8	and throw a couple passes over your head probably shouldn't happen and it didn't happen um are you
1:42.9	going to lose track a vaughn somehow and let them run a wheel route or let
