Mountaineer Nation looks to extend their winning streak to 2-0 as they host UT Martin at Milan Puskar Stadium on Saturday, September 12th, at 1 p.m. ET. This game will not be broadcast on traditional cable, requiring an ESPN+ subscription for viewing.
The weather forecast predicts cooler temperatures with a high near 65 degrees and a 40 percent chance of rain, offering a more comfortable tailgating experience than the previous week's opener. UT Martin, making their first trip to Morgantown, enters the contest at 1-1 after a decisive 42-7 victory.
While UT Martin is an FCS opponent, they boast an offense capable of posing a threat. Key players to watch include Thomas Ansley, who rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns, and receiver Carter, who had three catches for 62 yards. Quarterback Surber also contributes significantly, throwing for 222 yards in their last game.
Defensively, the Mountaineers aim to contain the opposing quarterback and prevent him from extending plays, especially on third downs. Offensively, the team is encouraged to maintain an aggressive approach, avoiding overly conservative playcalling. A focused performance is expected to secure a decisive victory for West Virginia.
