July 16, 2025 What Is ACTUALLY the Biggest Challenge Facing WVU Football in 2025?
The West Virginia Mountaineers are bringing in Rich Rodriguez to lead the football program, along with a major roster overhaul. Both of these scenarios can create a challenging season for the Mountaineers. However, in this episode, Couz will explain why he thinks the Big 12 schedule alone may be the toughest challenge facing WVU football in 2025. He will explain why each Power 4 opponent on the schedule could trip up the Mountaineers and what makes the Big 12 such a touch conference. #wvu #wvufootball #wvusports
