3 Guys Before The Game – WVU Football UT Martin Game Recap (Episode 738)


Mission accomplished. Now the stakes rise.

West Virginia improved to 2-0 Saturday with a commanding 51-7 victory over UT Martin. The Mountaineers scored on the third play of their opening drive and never looked back, giving Rich Rodriguez the opportunity to put his reserves to work throughout the second half.

It was the result WVU expected. Next comes a much tougher test: a Saturday night showdown with No. 25 Virginia in Charlotte. Both teams enter at 2-0, but how ready are the Mountaineers for the step up in competition?

In this episode, the “Guys” break down the win over the Skyhawks, dig into the numbers behind the lopsided score and discuss what the performance reveals about WVU heading into its biggest challenge yet.

3 Guys Before The Game is sponsored by – Jan Dils Attorneys at Law,  GoMart, Lou Wendell Marine Sales, Tudor’s Biscuit World  and Conley CPA Group.
