What to Look For?
Could we see a win for the Mountaineers and the Big 12 Conference? Could we see a win for the Orange and the ACC? As the writer, I can not predict a final score or a winning team for the game. Both teams have different key points to which they both are very successful to winning. The winner of this game, will be well deserved. Make sure to watch all the players mentioned.
