    • Arizona's defense grades 75.7 overall versus WVU's 64.4; coverage grades are 75.4 versus 46.8.

    • Arizona's season defensive EPA allowed is -0.06/play versus West Virginia's +0.12, a 0.19/play gap.
    • Arizona is 4-1 with a +15.8 recent scoring margin; West Virginia is 3-2 at +8.6, and WVU allowed 45 and 41 in its last two.

    • West Virginia's season offense leads Arizona's by EPA/play (0.29 versus 0.23), creating real scoring upside against the spread.
