West Virginia is at No. 16 in the College Football Playoff rankings, while Texas is unranked. The Mountaineers have a 7-1 record, far better than the Longhorns’ 5-4 mark.
But West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen apparently measures the two teams using another metric.
Holgorsen, to ref, on mic: "Our guys have bigger balls than their guys. … Get the f*** outta here."

Holgorsen’s comments were picked up on an referee’s mic during the second quarter of the game in Austin. He was upset after officials called kick-catch interference on the Mountaineers, negating a fumble recovery that would have given them the ball with a 17-3 lead.
Texas scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive and eventually made it 17-13 at halftime. No matter how the game turns out, it seems Holgorsen has already determined which team is, er, better.
