MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - It's been more than a century since a true freshman rushed for more than 100 yards in a season debut for West Virginia football, but that changed last Thursday night when CJ Donaldson broke the century mark. 

Andrew Caridi caught up with Donaldson, who joins the Insider pod to talk about his Backyard Brawl experience and his journey to Morgantown.

Kansas radio analyst David Lawrence also jumps on to illustrate the growth of KU's program under second-year coach Lance Leipold.

Be sure to catch all of the radio coverage beginning with the GoMart Mountaineer Tailgate Show at 3 p.m. on stations throughout West Virginia and online via WVUsports.com and the popular mobile app WVU Gameday.
