The Mountaineers will not have to travel far for their first road game of the season. They will be heading just across the border into the Buckeye State, though they will not be facing the defending national champion, the Ohio State Buckeyes.
On Saturday, September 6, WVU will face off with the Ohio Bobcats, defending champions of the MAC with an 11-3 overall record in 2024. Ohio caught the attention of Mountaineer coaches, players, and fans with their week 1 performance that came up just short of an upset win against Rutgers. The final score was 34-31.
