Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium Hosts West Virginia and Virginia Tech in College Football Showdown

As the West Virginia Mountaineers prepare to face off against the Virginia Tech Hokies at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium, fans are eager to see if the home team can continue their winning ways. The Mountaineers have shown a strong offensive presence in recent games, with a particularly dominant performance against LIU Sharks where they secured a resounding 66-point victory. This game highlighted their ability to control possession time (over 35 minutes) and execute on both sides of the ball, with an impressive nine touchdowns.

The offense has been firing on all cylinders, as evidenced by racking up over 500 total yards against the Sharks. The passing game was particularly effective, contributing three touchdowns and maintaining a completion percentage of around 63 percent. On the ground, they were just as formidable with five rushing touchdowns.


Defensively, West Virginia has demonstrated its prowess by recording two sacks and forcing turnovers that have kept opponents on their heels. However, in their previous encounter with Maryland Terrapins, despite putting up a good fight and scoring 24 points themselves, they fell short by six points in an away game that saw them turn over the ball four times.


The upcoming match promises to be an exciting one for fans watching from Morgantown or tuning in from home. With both teams looking to assert dominance early in the season, it will be crucial for West Virginia to maintain discipline and minimize turnovers while capitalizing on scoring opportunities.


Fans should expect an intense battle as these two teams clash on September 18th at 4:00 PM local time (UTC). The action will unfold live from Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown WV – available for viewing on Fox Sports 1 network channel satellite number 219.
