The news came late last night on Thursday's Big 12 player availability reports, but was to be expected after Rich Rodriguez's press conference on Tuesday: WVU football's Nicco Marchiol, who has started at quarterback all four games this season but but has often struggled, is set to miss the Utah game this weekend for certain.
Rodriguez mentioned Marchiol was "questionable" on Tuesday, and that he was visiting a specialist in Colorado for "mid-foot pain." He was listed officially as questionable on Wednesday's initial player availability report, but last night's update moved him to out.
