We are officially within two months of the renewal of the Backyard Brawl, with the 106th meeting between Pitt and West Virginia kicking off at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 16 under the lights of Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, W. Va.

In light of the countdown to one of college football's best rivalries coming back to life in 2022 with the infamous "Pitt Six" by hometown hero M.J. Devonshire, the Backyard Brawl has traditionally featured the best players spreading from the University of Pittsburgh's backyards to football programs across the nation.

That includes down I-79 southbound, where several players have jumped to the north to don the Panthers' royal and gold over West Virginia's blue and gold.
