    #WVU #Big12 #WestVirginia WVU's future backfield just leveled up with 2026 RB commit Christopher Talley! The 5'9", 175-lb Memphis, TN star turned heads with 1,317 yards and 17 TDs on just 120 carries in only eight games as a junior. Known for his slippery, relentless running style, Talley’s a faster, less physical version of Leddie Brown, excelling in tight spaces and never slowing down. On this episode of Locked On WV, we’re breaking down his tape to showcase his elite speed, quick cuts, and knack for setting up blockers! A multi-year starter in the making for Rich Rodriguez’s Mountaineers! #WVU #Big12 #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #PittPanthers #CollegeFootball #Recruiting #FootballBreakdown #WVUFootball #ACC #Big12football #mountaineers

    #WVU #TRANSFERPORTAL #MOUNTAINEERS Rich Rodriguez may have some BIG decisions coming up in the coming days as the NCAA is opening yet ANOTHER portal window! If you bleed gold and blue, hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, and follow us on X at @LockedOnWVU for real-time updates. Today, we’re zeroing in on the 2025 WVU football roster, specifically diving into a listener-submitted list of 12 potential Designated Student-Athletes (DSAs)—players who could be exempt from the new 105-player roster cap due to the House v. NCAA settlement. We’ll revisit the full roster by position, analyze these DSA possibilities, and figure out how WVU gets compliant with the cap while keeping 117 players on the books. Let’s fire it up, Mountaineer Nation! #WVU #TRANSFERPORTAL #MOUNTAINEERS #BIG12 #COLLEGEFOOTBALL #NCAA #PORTAL #BIG12 #WESTVIRGINIA

    #BackyardBrawl #WVUFootball #MountaineerNation Get ready, Mountaineer Nation, for the most electrifying showdown of the season! On September 13, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. ET, West Virginia hosts Pitt in the 108th Backyard Brawl at a sold-out Milan Puskar Stadium, broadcast live on ESPN. This ain’t just another game—it’s the final clash of the current four-game series before a hiatus until 2029, and it marks Rich Rodriguez’s first battle against Pitt since 2007. The Mountaineers, stinging from a late collapse in Pittsburgh last year, are hell-bent on evening the series after their gritty 17-6 win in Morgantown in 2023. Despite WVU’s homefield advantage and a higher EA Sports rating (80 vs. Pitt’s 78), oddsmakers have slapped the Mountaineers with a disrespectful 2.5-point underdog status, with Pitt at -137 on the money line and a 57.5 over/under (per FanDuel). But this team thrives on defiance. With the “Stripe the Stadium” promotion igniting the crowd and Rodriguez begging ESPN’s College GameDay to witness the blue lot’s chaos, Morgantown is set to explode. Expect a brutal battle in the trenches, fueled by last year’s late-game scrum and WVU’s hunger to humiliate their bitter rivals. This is more than a game—it’s a chance to send Pitt packing in disgrace and cement Mountaineer pride. Let’s shock the world, WVU! #BackyardBrawl #WVUFootball #MountaineerNation #WVUvsPitt #StripeTheStadium #RichRod #MorgantownMadness #CollegeFootball #ESPN #GameDay #BeatPitt #MountaineerPride #RivalryWeek #MilanPuskar #WVU #fanduel #vegas
