Earlier today, WVU head coach Rich Rodriguez told reporters during his press conference that there would be a bunch of ORs listed when the depth chart came out and that it's not necessarily a bad thing. He feels a lot better about this team's depth than a year ago and believes he has multiple guys that he can win with at every position.

“I think mostly for us, it’s in a good way. If you have an OR because you’re not sure either one of them are ready to do that, that makes that not so good. Most of our ORs, probably all of them, are because we feel good about multiple guys at those positions. I think we’re a deeper team for sure than we were a year ago.”

We will have more on the depth chart soon, and which battles could be settled before the end of the week, so stay tuned.

West Virginia and Coastal Carolina will kick things off at 12 p.m. ET on TNT.
