How Does WVU SHOCK the World and Beat BYU? | Gold & Blue Breakdown Ep. 45

43 minutes

Can the West Virginia Mountaineers rebound after two straight blowout losses to start Big 12 play? On this week’s episode of the Gold & Blue Breakdown Show (Episode 45), Couz welcomes Tyler from the @TheCoalCountryPodcast to break down WVU football's tough road test against BYU in Provo.

The guys dive into the quarterback situation with Nicco Marchiol’s injury and whether Khalil Wilkins could step up in a hostile environment. We also analyze Rich Rodriguez’s offense, WVU’s struggles on third down, and the Mountaineers’ keys to victory:

Starting fast on offense

Tackling and slowing down BYU RB LJ Martin

Avoiding costly penalties and special teams mistakes

Tyler and Couz also shares insights on BYU’s freshman QB Bear Bachmeier, the Cougars’ strong linebacker duo of Jack Kelly and Isaiah Glasker, and why special teams could swing this game under the Friday night lights on ESPN.

They will also give their score predictions for the game and talk about key players to watch for the Mountaineers.

If you’re a fan of WVU football, the Big 12, or just love college football breakdowns, this episode is packed with analysis, predictions, and honest talk about where the Mountaineers go from here.
