WVU football has announced two additional football games that will occur in Charlotte, NC at Bank of America Stadium, home to the Carolina Panthers. WVU will face the Virginia Cavaliers on September 19, 2026, and again on September 4, 2032, giving fans in the Queen City a chance to see the Mountaineers take on an ACC opponent. In this video, Couz will break down the significance of these matchups, why WVU is making this strategic scheduling decision, and what it means for the future of Mountaineer football. Does this mean West Virginia will drop the series against the Alabama Crimson Tide? How did they find room on the schedule for the UVA game? Why is it causing controversy among fans? Couz talks about all of this and more in the episode. #WVU #wvufootball #collegefootball Source: WVU Sports: https://wvusports.com/news/2024/11/6/football-adds-two-games-in-charlotte.aspx ⭐️Sponsor: https://www.katzkantor.com⭐️

In this episode of the Gold & Blue Breakdown, Couz and Jonathan will look ahead to WVU football's upcoming contest against the Cincinnati Bearcats in week 11 of the college football season. This Big 12 football matchup features two teams who are both 3-2 in league play and trying to stay in the conference title race. The West Virginia Mountaineers will travel to Cincinnati, Ohio to take on the Bearcats in a game that will kickoff at 12:00pm Eastern time and will air on FS1. West Virginia starting quarterback Garrett Greene is doubtful for the game due to injury, so Nicco Marchiol will once again be looked upon to lead the Mountaineer offense. Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby will look to star running back Corey Kiner to make big plays in the run game against a stiff Mountaineer rush defense. Sorsby may also rely on wide receiver Xzavier Henderson to take advantage of a WVU secondary that has struggled all season long. Meanwhile, the WVU defense will be led by new Defensive Coordinator Jeff Koonz, who replaces Jordan Lesley. Lesley was fired by head coach Neal Brown during the bye week. Marchiol will need to lean on the rushing attack with C.J. Donaldson and Jahiem White to keep the Mountaineer offense balanced. Which team can stay on the winning track after bye weeks and stay in the Big 12 championship hunt? Couz and Jonathan will answer that in the episode. #wvufootball #cincinnatibearcats #big12football ⭐️Sponsor: https://www.katzkantor.com⭐️

In this episode of the Gold & Blue Breakdown, Couz and Jonathan will look ahead to WVU football's upcoming contest against the Arizona Wildcats in week 9 of the college football season. This Big 12 football matchup features two teams on losing streaks and in desperate need of a win. The West Virginia Mountaineers will travel to Tucson, Arizona to take on the Wildcats in a game that will kickoff at 7:00pm Eastern time and will air on FS1. Both teams are expected to have key players out with injury. West Virginia starting quarterback Garrett Greene is questionable, along with running back Jahiem White and left tackle Wyatt Milum. Arizona will be without their starting left tackle and also their leading tackler in linebacker, Jacob Manu. Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita will look to star wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to make big plays against a Mountaineer secondary that has struggled all season long. Meanwhile, WVU will look to utilize their great rushing attack with White (if he plays), along with CJ Donaldson. If Garrett Greene is unable to go, backup Nicco Marchiol will get the start. Marchiol is also a weapon on the ground, much like Greene. Which 3-4 team can get back to .500 in this one? Couz and Jonathan let you know what they think in the episode. #wvufootball #big12football #arizonawildcats ⭐️Sponsor: https://www.katzkantor.com⭐️

In this episode of the Gold & Blue Breakdown, after recapping WVU football's loss to Iowa State, Couz and Jonathan will preview the Mountaineers' upcoming game against the Kansas State Wildcats. They will give their three keys to victory for WVU, will take a look at key position battles and a key player to watch for Neal Brown's West Virginia team.  Sophomore phenom Avery Johnson leads K-State into Morgantown, WV to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers this Saturday, October 19 in what will be a 7:30pm EDT kickoff on FOX. Johnson, who has thrown for over 1,100 yards and ran for over 300 in just six games, will look to his backfield mate D.J. Giddens to help lead the Wildcats to victory. Giddens has rushed for 786 yards so far on the season and is averaging 7.3 yards per carry. Brendan Mott, who leads the Big 12 with 6.5 sacks, will lead Coach Chris Klieman's KSU defense into Morgantown. WVU will be led by senior quarterback Garrett Greene, who has similar stats to Johnson. Greene has thrown for over 1,200 yards and ran for nearly 400. Can Greene and running back tandem C.J. Donaldson and Jaheim White carry the Mountaineers to victory? Couz and Jonathan will give you their opinion at the end of the show. Defensively, West Virginia will be led by linebacker Josiah Trotter, who leads the team with 46 total tackles, to go along with an interception. #wvufootball #big12football #kstatefootball Sponsor:  https://www.katzkantor.com⭐️
