We have now been speaking to the West Virginia weblog The Smoking Musket for insights on a non-USC sport with an enormous USC taste, the Week 1 sport between West Virginia and Pittsburgh on Sept. 1.
Former USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell will coach former USC quarterback J.T. Daniels for West Virginia. The Mountaineers will face former USC quarterback Kedon Slovis, who’s taking part in for Pitt this season.
One contemporary plot twist entered the WVU-Pitt sport in early Might, when Pittsburgh receiver Jordan Addison transferred to USC. Pittsburgh misplaced a key participant.
