The West Virginia Mountaineers are welcoming the Colorado Buffaloes to Morgantown on Saturday, November 8 for a Big 12 football matchup. Both teams enter the contest at 3-6 (1-5), but seem to be headed in opposite directions. Coach Deion Sanders' Buffaloes have allowed over 50 points in two straight blowout losses. Meanwhile, Rich Rodriguez and the Mountaineers are coming off their first Big 12 win of the season; a 45-35 victory on the road against a ranked Houston Cougars squad. This game will feature two freshmen quarterbacks. Scotty Fox Jr. will start for WVU. After being thrust into action due to injuries to the veteran quarterbacks ahead of him, the Ohio native is coming off two solid performances. He threw for over 300 yards in a loss at home against TCU. He then accounted for three scores in last week's win at Houston. Former five-star recruit Julian Lewis is getting the start for Colorado. Sanders is going to the true freshman after his offense has struggled the previous two weeks. Lewis will replace Kaiden Salter, the transfer from Liberty who had started most of the season for the Buffs. In this episode of the Gold & Blue Breakdown, Co-hosts Couz and Jonathan will preview the game. They will each give their three keys to victory for West Virginia, as well as two key position battles, a key Mountaineer to watch, and their score prediction. Stay tuned to find out who the guys pick.

Episode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, welcome back and happy Wednesday. This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. In this podcast, we spotlight the stories of women guides and guides from other underrepresented groups and see how they navigate the complex terrain of mountains and life.Today we're thrilled to host a true veteran of the backcountry: Natalie Brechtel.With over two decades of professional experience, Natalie's journey is nothing short of breathtaking. She's gone from guiding in New Zealand to spending ten seasons working for the U.S. Antarctic Program as a Field Safety Coordinator and Mountaineer, all while contributing to the high-stakes world of Yosemite Search and Rescue.Natalie is the founder of Gut-Z Journey, a business dedicated to building deep-seated confidence in the outdoors through a unique, holistic lens that combines wilderness medicine, strength training, and functional nutrition. As you'll hear today, the name “Gut-Z Journey” perfectly embodies her philosophy—it's about trusting your intuition and optimizing your health to make critical, life-saving decisions.In this episode, Natalie shares her powerful insights on the importance of never outsourcing your decision-making in the field, why she prioritizes working with clients who are “invested in the process” of learning, and how she shows up every day as a strong female role model in male-dominated technical spaces.If you're looking to turn your physical and mental fortitude into unshakeable outdoor confidence, stay tuned. Let's dive in with Natalie Brechtel.Natalie's Links:Gut-Z JourneyWMA Instructor BioMy philosophy Gutzjourney IGDirtbag diaries podcastQuotes:I live in a really outdoor driven town and I actually can find it exhausting to be around so many people that are so driven in the same direction. And there's just something to be said about when you're in your own community sometimes behavior just changes.I really believe in going from the gut first and it's a double-edged thing for me. because I also went to school for holistic nutrition later in life and microbiome health and our gut sends a lot of signals with our intuition and a lot of messaging.when someone feels physically stronger they've reconnected with their body then they frankly tend to feel more confidentI was trying to think about what I could do back in the US that would still feel fulfilling… that gut part of my intuition was like, Natalie, you need other things.I didn't have examples of women doing the things I wanted to do… I can at least represent that these things are possible.You outsource that decision to authority and end up in a precarious situation, even though you knew it wasn't the right decision.I think that when one really wants to pursue challenges just for their own growth, then there is no end point to that.

The West Virginia Mountaineers will go on the road to take on the 22nd ranked Houston Cougars in game six of their Big 12 Conference schedule. WVU is coming off a close loss at home to TCU, while Houston is coming off a big win over number 24 Arizona State. Houston is led by one of the league's best defenses. They are number 21 in the country in scoring defense, number 36 in total defense, 38th in rushing defense and number 52 in passing yards allowed. Meanwhile, WVU football's offense is one of the worst in the country. Rich Rodriguez's unit ranks 98th in total offense, 113th in scoring and 114th in passing offense. The Mountaineers are top 50 nationally in rushing offense, coming in at number 47. Zac Alley's Mountaineer defense, led by safety Fred Perry and linebacker Chase Wilson, will be charged with slowing down the Houston offense led by quarterback Conner Weigman. The junior transfer from Texas A&M has thrown for 1,581 yards and 12 touchdowns. He has also ran for 354 yards on 87 carries. Couz is joined by Garrett Ross from @365SportsYT to break down the Cougars and see if there are any areas the WVU team may be able to gain an advantage. #wvufootball #wvu #wvumountaineers Check out the 365 Sports Newsletter: https://365sports.video Sources: Song: Smoke Rising Music by: CreatorMix.com Video: https://youtu.be/_oaZzkn0bW4 ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ DraftKings Sportsbook: https://www.draftkings.com/ Appalachia Digital: http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole

The 2-5 WVU football team will host the 5-2 TCU Horned Frogs in a Big 12 Conference matchup on Saturday, October 25, 2025. Star quarterback Josh Hoover leads TCU into Morgantown to take on a struggling Mountaineer team, who will be relying on true freshman signal caller, Scotty Fox, who is being thrust into action due to injuries to multiple West Virginia quarterbacks. Sonny Dykes' TCU squad will also rely on wide receiver Eric McAllister, who has already eclipsed 600 yards receiving and seven touchdowns on the season. McAllister will be lined up against a WVU secondary that has been struggling since Big 12 play began. Rich Rodriguez's Mountaineer team has been decimated by injuries on the offensive side of the ball. In addition to quarterbacks Nicco Marchiol, Jaylen Henderson and Khalil Wilkins, WVU is also without their top two running backs in Jahiem White and Tye Edwards. Both players are out for the season. Wide receiver Jaden Bray also suffered a season ending injury earlier in the year. How does a freshman quarterback lead a struggling offense against team the caliber of TCU and pull off a win? Co-hosts Couz and Jonathan will lay it all out for you in this episode of the Gold & Blue Breakdown show. The guys will give their keys to a Mountaineer victory, key position battles to watch, and a key WVU player. They will also give their score predictions for the contest.
