## Resource

Rich Rodriguez and West Virginia are heading to Big 12 Media Days, and the rest of the conference isn't ready for what’s coming. While national analysts focus on Texas Tech and BYU, Rich Rod has quietly overhauled this roster with explosive portal talent like nation-leading rusher Cam Cook and dynamic quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. Year 1 was about fixing the culture—Year 2 is about exposing the gap between external expectations and the reality of this team. In this episode, we break down the 10 biggest Media Day questions facing the Mountaineers. From the intense quarterback battle between Scotty Fox Jr. and Michael Hawkins Jr., to Rick Trickett’s rebuilt offensive line, and Zac Alley’s completely revamped defense, we dive deep into how WVU is positioned to shock the Big 12 in 2026. Don't miss our full breakdown of where the Mountaineers truly stand as the college football world descends on Media Days! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
