This will be the first time that the Mountaineers will have played a game during Week 0.There are no additional changes to the schedule as of this moment, so the Mountaineers are still scheduled to play Southern Miss at home on Saturday, September 4th, and VMI on Saturday, September 11th. The final game of this series will take place on September 1st, 2029, which will also be in Morgantown.Seeking revengeSep 6, 2025; Athens, Ohio, USA; West Virginia Mountaineers offensive lineman Kimo Makane'ole (56) blocks Ohio Bobcats defensive tackle Austin Mitchell (97) during the first quarter at Peden Stadium.

They are a quality Group of Six program and have been a thorn in the side of some Power Four teams before, including beating Iowa State in 2023.With it being year one of Rich Rod 2.0 in Morgantown, the Mountaineers were still trying to figure out who they were, and unfortunately, the season took a major turn in this game when they lost running back Jahiem White and wide receiver Jaden Bray to what would be season-ending injuries. Despite all of the offensive struggles, the Mountaineers still had a chance, thanks to the defense pitching a second-half shutout. Too many three and outs cost West Virginia in this one as the Bobcats pulled off the upset, 17-10.West Virginia leads the all-time series over Ohio 13-5. They are 11-2 when the game is played in Morgantown and have never won in Athens, going 0-3, although two of those losses took place in 1897 and 1949.Updated future schedules for WVU year-by-year20278/28 vs. Ohio9/4 vs. Southern Miss9/11 vs. VMIBig 12 home games: Arizona State, BYU, Iowa State, UCFBig 12 road games: Baylor, Cincinnati, Colorado, Kansas State, Oklahoma State20289/2 vs. Tennessee (in Charlotte, NC)9/9 vs. Youngstown State9/16 vs. Akron20299/1 vs. Ohio9/8 at Pitt9/15 vs. Robert Morris20308/31 vs. Rhode Island9/7 vs. Pitt9/14 vs. Akron20318/30 vs. VMI9/6 at Pitt20329/4 vs Virginia (in Charlotte, NC)9/11 vs. Pitt20339/10 at Pitt20349/9 vs. Pitt20359/8 at Pitt20369/13 vs. PittAdd us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
