Injuries
The Mountaineers are not required to release an injury report for non-conference games, but we do have an idea of a few players that are hurt and won't play this weekend. Rich Rodriguez has confirmed that defensive lineman Darius Wileyis done for the seasonafter his injury in Week 1, and Prince Strachanwill not be backfrom his collarbone injury suffered in the spring scrimmage this week, either. Freshman running back Chris Talley is also currently injured.
