In this episode of the Gold & Blue Breakdown, Jonathan Martin and I dive deep into the roster to give our official 2026 WVU Football position grades. We’re breaking down every unit—from the quarterbacks and offensive line to the secondary and linebackers—to see who is ready to compete at an elite level and where the Mountaineers still have work to do.

Does the offense have enough firepower to lead the Big 12? Is the offensive front as strong as the hype suggests? Is there enough experience in the secondary? We’re pulling no punches with these report cards!

In this video, we’re taking a deep dive into one of the biggest "What Ifs" in WVU Football history. The Big East collapse changed the landscape of college football forever, but for the Mountaineers, the timing couldn't have been worse. We look at the elite talent, the BCS era dominance, and whether or not the shift to the Big 12 may have cost West Virginia a shot at a national title.

In this video, we discuss:

-The peak of WVU's Big East dominance and those legendary 2000s teams.

-How conference realignment disrupted program momentum.

-The long-term impact on the program's national standing today.

-What do you think? Was the Big East the missing piece for a WVU trophy, or was the move

to the Big 12 the right long-term play despite the struggles? Let’s talk about it in the

comments!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into roster developments that could reshape both WVU football and basketball for the 2026 season. All of it stems from possible legal battles. We break it down in this episode of Couz's Corner.

In this video:

Football Roster Shifts: We explore reports that Eddie Kelly Jr. is following Jordan Scruggs’ lead in seeking another year of eligibility through the courts. What would his 6'5", 290lb presence mean for the defensive line depth?

The Fred Perry Rumors: While there’s no official suit yet, the chatter is loud. Could the hard-hitting safety rejoin the Mountaineers and bring that "hard edge" back to the secondary?

Hoops Update: Ross Hodge recently updated the media on Javan Buchanan’s eligibility battle. We look at the projected roster and why Buchanan is such a vital piece for the frontcourt.

The "Lorient" Factor: Is Coach Hodge saving a roster spot for a familiar face? We discuss the potential for late-summer transfer portal moves.

West Virginia fans are no strangers to eligibility drama, but these cases could be the difference-maker for the upcoming seasons.

Let me know in the comments: Would you want to see these veterans return, or are you tired of the court cases? Who do you think is the most important piece for WVU right now?

The WVU football program announced that they are moving the date of the home football game against the Ohio Bobcats in 2027. Is there deeper meaning for this move? Could the Mountaineers be looking to get Pitt, Virginia Tech or another P4 rival on the schedule in 2027? Couz will take a look at all the possibilities.

In the second half of the show, Couz will look at the recent updates on the Protect College Sports Act, as reported by Ross Dellenger from Yahoo! Sports. He will give his thoughts on what could be transpiring with that bill.
