Running back CJ Donaldson has continued where he left off last season, and finished with a 102 yards and one touchdown last week, while quarterback Nicco Marchiol entered the game in relief and navigated the Mountaineers to a Backyard Brawl victory.

Both are looking to refocus their efforts this week as West Virginia opens up the Big 12 season with a big matchup against Texas Tech on Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium.
