The West Virginia Mountaineers are preparing to square off against one of the better teams in the Big 12 on Thursday night, the Baylor Bears. The Bears currently sit at 3-2 overall and the Mountaineers currently sit at 2-3 overall for the 2022 campaign. Check out the uniforms West Virginia will be wearing in Thursday night’s matchup.

Unfortunately for the Mountaineers, they’ll be without their superstar running back this weekend, freshman C.J. Donaldson. He was carted off the field in West Virginia’s 38-20 loss to the Texas Longhorns a few weeks ago. Donaldson suffered a concussion in that game. The star tailback remains in the concussion protocol and has been officially ruled out of Thursday night’s game.

That means that West Virginia signal-caller J.T. Daniels will need to carry much more of the offensive load. He’s perfectly capable and he’s made numerous pretty throws throughout the 2022 campaign. The former Georgia star has completed 63.5 percent of his passes for 1,209 passing yards, while tossing in eight touchdowns and just two interceptions.

West Virginia has dropped a couple of really close games during the 2022 season, one in overtime to the Kansas Jayhawks, 55-42. Then they lost a classic in the Backyard Brawl to the Pitt Panthers, 38-31. West Virginia steamrolled the Virginia Tech Hokies in Blacksburg, 33-10. The Mountaineers rushing attack could not be stopped in that one, as they rolled up over 200 rushing yards and a touchdown in the winning effort. C.J. Donaldson had 23 carries for 106 rushing yards. He’s had three 100-yard rushing games in his freshman campaign. West Virginia will eagerly await his return to the lineup as he’s one of the best freshman tailbacks in America. He’s even shown the ability to be a game-breaker on special teams.

West Virginia and Baylor will face off on Thursday, Oct. 13. Kickoff is slated for 7:00 PM EST. The game will be televised on FS1.
