MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — As it turns out, West Virginia will not get a second shot at defending quarterback Josh Jackson this September.

The Big Ten Conference announced Thursday afternoon that the league has canceled all non-conference matchups for all of their fall sports teams. West Virginia was scheduled to host Maryland on September 19 at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Maryland is coming off a 3-9 season and Josh Jackson is slated to return as the Terrapins starting signal caller. He defeated the Mountaineers while quarterbacking Virginia Tech in the 2017 season opener.
