The Mountaineers currently sit at 2-1 with a weekend road trip to Lawrence on deck. West Virginia is considered a heavy underdog to the Jayhawks. But after WVU finishes up with Kansas, they will have a rising Utah program waiting for them back home at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Unlike WVU, Utah is currently undefeated at 3-0, with wins over UCLA, Cal Poly and Wyoming so far. The No. 16 Utes have Big 12 title favorites No. 17 Texas Tech coming up before heading to West Virginia.

This season’s Week 5 matchup will mark only the third game ever played between WVU and Utah and the first time as conference foes. Utah is a perfect 2-0 all-time against West Virginia, with a 30-14 win in 2017 as the most recent matchup.
