The West Virginia Mountaineers (2-3, 0-2) are on the road this week to take on the BYU Cougars (4-0, 1-0) Friday night. Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. EST with the action broadcasting on ESPN.

Redshirt freshman running back Diore Hubard made his first career start last Saturday in the 48-14 loss to Utah. He finished with 61 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. He was not listed on the depth chart last week ahead of the matchup, but is listed alongside Tye Edwards and Cincere Bowers, who both missed last week with injuries, and Clay Ash.

Redshirt senior quarterback Jaylen Henderson got the start last week, while junior Nicco Marchiol was out with a foot injury. Henderson was sidelined for the second half after throwing for 22 yards and rushing for 28. Redshirt freshman Khalil Wilkins led the only two WVU touchdown drives. Marchiol remains on the depth chart.

Bandit Jimmori Robinson made the start at defensive end on Saturday and again not listed on the two-deep, and redshirt senior Justin Smith-Brown has started at WR (Z) the last two games even though his has been listed as the backup at X.

Starting center Landon Livingston was out with a lower body injury. Carson Lee got the start against the Utes. Livingston remains on the depth chart.
