3 Guys Before The Game - Utah Preview (Episode 661)
The Mountaineer football team enters Saturday’s home clash with Utah shrouded in uncertainty.

Coach Rich Rodriguez’s squad faces major offensive questions: a new starting quarterback takes the reins, and injuries have reshuffled the depth chart at running back. It’s hardly the ideal setup against a Utah team still stinging from its first loss of the season.

The result? West Virginia finds itself a rare double-digit underdog inside Milan Puskar Stadium—something fans don’t often see in Morgantown.

In this episode, the “Guys” sort through the week’s storylines, break down the matchup with a full analytical lens, and tackle listener questions and comments in Textual Healing.
