The blue helmets are reverting to the glossy style this season, bringing fans a return to familiarity. The last time WVU had glossy helmets was during the 2012 season.

To no surprise, the Mountaineers are a massive favorite heading into their season opener against Robert Morris. WVU sits as a 38.5-point home favorite over the Colonials, according to FanDuel.

It took several days for a legitimate company to even offer a spread for the game due to it being expected to be a very lopsided matchup between a Power Four school and an FCS program.

Despite being able to assume the win, Rich Rodriguez‘s first game back coaching West Virginia in a regular season game since 2007 adds extra intrigue to the day.

Earlier in the week, Rodriguez released his first official 2025 WVU football depth chart.

Saturday’s contest will feature WVU hosting Robert Morris at 2 p.m.
