Wes Lyons News

Guess I'll start this off. Late word out of Piscataway. Bradley Starks is out for the game with a concussion.

While No. 5 Cincinnati and No. 14 Pittsburgh are playing for the Big East title on Saturday, No.

West Virginia associate head coach/director of recruiting John "Doc" Holliday has liberal geographic parameters in his search for the best high school talent.

Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium was a cold place to be Friday night. But with the turkey and trimmings all long-since consumed - and a representative of the Gator Bowl in the press box - the facility heated up very quickly.

Today, 7 p.m. - Milan Puskar Stadium, Morgantown, W.Va. TV: ESPN2 Favorite: Pick'em Records: Pitt 9-1, 5-0 Big East; West Virginia 7-3, 3-2 Last meeting: Pitt won, 19-15, last season at Heinz Field and leads the all-time series, 61-37-3. Outlook: The Panthers, vying for their seventh consecutive win, have put together their best 10-game start since ...

In some circles, much has been made of West Virginia having a chance to do to Pitt this week what the Panthers did to the Mountaineers two years ago - ruin their season.

Wes Lyons grew up in Western Pennsylvania. The Woodland Hills High School graduate admits he was never really a Pitt fan, though.

Ivan Maisel has an interesting piece up today about how the college football season has thus far been a disappointment .

Thanks much for your participation in the West Virginia football Q&A. It is your job to ask the questions; my job to answer them -- so keep them rolling in.

YOU. ARE. LOOKING. LIVE. ... at my home in Hampton Township, Pennsylvania ... on a leaf-filled street, on a beautiful autumn day, with the temperatures dipping and the games rising .

Posted by ESPN.com's Brian Bennett It looks like Jarrett Brown is recovering well from last week's concussion against Marshall.

Hello, good afternoon. YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE at 34 Boulevard of the Allies, the Post-Gazette headquarters, where I am coming to you from today before I embark on my journey to Syracuse tomorrow.

Jarrett Brown had thrown interceptions before. He'd fumbled before, too. What he hadn't done was lost a game before, and if there was any lesson to come of that rainy Saturday night in Alabama when Auburn beat the Mountaineers, 41-30, that was it.

Under normal circumstances, West Virginia University would simply turn over a new leaf after a loss.

One loss, even one built on six turnovers in the passing game, will not deter West Virginia University coach Bill Stewart from his belief in filling the air with footballs.

You saw this coming . The timely topic is WVU's turnover trouble, which is more troubling than it is trouble.

For most fans who waited patiently past the midnight hour to watch their beloved Mountaineers drop a heart-breaking 41-30 setback at the hands of the Tigers from Auburn University Saturday night at Jordan-Hare Stadium there will be a lot of memories.

It was just one catch. But boy, what a catch it was. West Virginia true freshman Tavon Austin signaled his arrival in grand fashion Saturday in the Mountaineers' 35-20 win over East Carolina.

He was clearly the best player on a Liberty team that has no shortage of good players, at least from a Football Championship Subdivision perspective.
