On Sept. 27, West Virginia hosted Utah, falling to the Utes in a 48-14 laugher.

Now, it will travel across the country to face off against the other half of college football's famed Holy War.

The Mountaineers will face off against No. 23 BYU on Friday, Oct. 3 at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah.

The Cougars are undefeated through four games and are coming off a 24-21 road victory against Deion Sanders and Colorado, a game in which they held the Buffaloes to 291 total yards. Given the circumstances, quarterback Bear Bachmeier played arguably the best game of his young career, accounting for 277 total yards and two touchdowns.

Coach Kalani Sitake's team will look to continue its early success this season against a West Virginia team looking for its first Big 12 win this season. The Mountaineers head into the matchup with a 2-3 record, having lost to both Kansas and Utah by at least 30 points. Were it not for a comeback win against arch-rival Pitt, West Virginia would be winless against FBS opponents this season, an ignominious run that includes a road loss at Ohio.
