OFFICIAL: WVU Announces 2021 Football Schedule
It's finally here!
Thursday afternoon, West Virginia University unveiled the 2021 football schedule which includes matchups with regional rivals Maryland and Virginia Tech. The Mountaineers will open up Big 12 Conference play on the road in Norman to take on the Oklahoma Sooners with the Big 12 home opener against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. West Virginia's bye week will be sandwiched between a pair of road games at Baylor and TCU but will be followed up with a pair of home games against Iowa State and Oklahoma State.
WVU Athletic Director Shane Lyons made a statement in a press release from the university's athletic department:
“The release of the 2021 football schedule is, hopefully, the first step to getting things back to a normal athletic season,” Lyons said. “I know our players, coaches and fans want that and now we can start working toward that goal. We will have six home games and a road trip to Maryland that will be easily accessible for our fan base, and I believe there will be plenty of excitement surrounding our team as we head into the season.”
