West Virginia heads out west this weekend to face an Arizona team who is in a smailar position to them.
The Mountaineers have lost two straight while the Wildcats have lost three in a row heading into Saturday.
Arizona head coach Brent Brennan will be leading his team to face West Virginia for the first time in school history. Brennan talked about what he expects to see from the Mountaineers including their injury situation at quarterback as well as what they do well as a team.
Injuries at QB
It's currently unclear who will be under center for West Virginia on Saturday.
Starter Garrett Greene left last Saturday's game against Kansas State at halftime and did not return. His status is currently up in the air as far as his availability for Saturday's game.
I think that's one of those challenges you just have to deal with. Both of them are good players, both of them have made plays for them. You go into the game, and you have to have a plan that encompasses both," Brennan said.
If Greene can't go, Nicco Marchiol will start in his place, but Brennan's expectation is Greene will be the starter.
"I think Greene's going to play. The kid's a tough kid and he's a good player, I'd be surprised if he doesn't play."
Strenghts of the Mountaineers
Brennan said the strengths of WVU include their ability to run the football and how tough they are to play against.
"I think they're really efficient running the football, I think that shows up. Then watching them play on defense, they're tough. They play hard," Brennan said.
Brennan said watching film on the Mountaineers he's able to tell they play the game the right way and he respects that.
"I always respect teams that play football the right way and they do. It looks like they like playing football, their defense is incredibly physical, and how hard they play. That's impressive to me," Brennan said.
