"Typically, I don't start off with injury news, but unfortunately it's compiling," he began. "In some years you get lucky, and you don't get anybody hurt, and in some years it kind of comes in waves."
Nearly a dozen different offensive players are listed on this week's injury report to be submitted to the Big 12 Conference. Of course, No. 1 running back Jahiem White and starting wide receiver Jaden Bray were lost for the season during the Ohio University loss. Click here to get the full breakdown for the game.
The West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame will welcome six new members as part of the class of 2025 this week. The class includes Chelsea Carrier-Eades (track & field), Bill Kirelawich (football), Pat McAfee (football), Bill Stewart (football), Darrell Whitmore (baseball/football) and Petra Zublasing (rifle).
This class brings the total number of inductees to 243. To learn more about the 2025 WVU Sports HOF Class, click here.
Last spring, West Virginia University unveiled a special 1965 throwback uniform on its social media platforms. This Saturday against Utah, in a game that will be nationally televised on FOX, the Mountaineers will finally get to wear them.
The attractive design is similar to the uniform the team wore 60 years ago when it was competing in the Southern Conference with star players Dick Leftridge, Garrett Ford Sr., Allen McCune and John Mallory. That squad defeated Pitt 63-48 in what is still the highest-scoring Backyard Brawl game in series history.
