Mountaineers Aim for Bowl Under Rodriguez | Salt Lake City News
Description
West Virginia’s Mountaineers are back under Coach Rich Rodriguez with a clear goal: hit the bowl game. After a surprising 4-8 season—better than expected for a last-place Big 12 pick—they’re loaded with momentum. The QB battle is heating up between Scotty Fox Jr. and new recruit Michael Hawkins Jr., while the offensive line gets a full rebuild to fix last year’s sack woes. Cam Cook, their standout RB, is already earning preseason All-Big 12 honors, and they’ve added firepower at WR via the transfer portal. Defense? That’s where the real work lies—they’re bringing in over 80 new players, including key transfers, to shore up a unit that gave up too many yards and points. The toughest part? Their final five games include TCU, Texas Tech, Kansas, Houston, and Utah. Bowl eligibility hinges on offense stepping up and defense making a massive leap.
