WVU RB Makes Most Of Opportunity Against Utah, Rich Rodriguez Now "Trusts" Him

Last week, we expected to see one of WVU football running back Kannon Katzer break out with a big game against Utah in his first contest back since an injury. We ended up being correct that a WVU running back would have a big game against the Utes, but it ended up being a different name.

We'll admit it – redshirt freshman Diore Hubbard had been pushed slightly off our radar. He had seen just four snaps on offense all season after being featured prominently in the 2025 WVU Gold-Blue Spring Showcase, and those few opportunities all game in garbage time against Kansas.
