The West Virginia Mountaineers need to get back on track after two consecutive losses. And they'll have the opportunity to do so in front of a home crowd celebrating the state's heritage.
The Mountaineers are set to host the Arizona Wildcats this weekend at Milan Puskar Stadium, returning to Morgantown for their fourth home game of the season. It will be the school's annual Coal Rush game, in which the Mountaineers don special all-black uniforms designed to honor the state's coal mining industry.
It will also be a unique affair for West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez, as he'll face an Arizona team he coached from 2012-2017. And with the Mountaineers entering 0-2 in conference play after a hot start to the season, they'll be hoping to pick up their first conference win. Here's everything you need to know to follow along with the game.
