The 20th-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers are on top of the world despite having two losses. They defeated the previously unbeaten Baylor Bears and had ESPN’s

College GameDay

in town for their huge match up with the seventh-ranked TCU Horned Frogs. The Mountaineers porbably can’t realistically get in the face to make the College Football Playoff but they can spoil TCU’s season and get back in the race for a Big 12 Championship.

That’s why they need every break they can on Saturday. That hasn’t been the case. Although West Virginia does have the early, TCU benefited from a terrible no call on quarterback Clint Trickett.

As Clint Trickett took off to run, he was grabbed high on the face mask and ripped down by a TCU defender.

Watch two different angles of the terrible no-call on Clint Trickett below.
