Pete Thamel of ESPN reported on Saturday morning that West Virginia is expected to be without starting quarterback Garrett Greene and left tackle Wyatt Milum versus Arizona. Chandler Hamilton alum Nicco Marchiol will start for West Virginia at QB. Arizona also has extensive injuries entering the game on Saturday.
Arizona linebacker Jacob Manu and safeties Gunner Maldonado and Treydan Stukes are all expected to be out for the season. Arizona has only eight starters remaining from the Alamo Bowl win over Oklahoma last season. Attrition and injuries have decimated the Arizona roster since the end of the 2023 season.
Predictions
Arizona at West Virginia is a difficult game to project. The Wildcats and Mountaineers are both reeling. This is a game Arizona should win. At home against a backup QB, Arizona needs to win to keep pushing toward six wins to become bowl-eligible. With both offenses struggling, the easiest thing to trust is the under.
West Virginia at Arizona should be a close game. The 4.5-point spread is tight. At home, Arizona and the money line is the better bet than betting the spread. Against a porous West Virginia pass defense, Noah Fifita and Tetairoa McMillan have their best game in a few weeks and Arizona wins a tight game.

It was a phenomenal year for the West Virginia Mountaineers on the diamond, and even with the season having been over for over a week now, the honors continue to roll in.
On Friday, second baseman/catcher Gavin Kelly and left-handed starting pitcher Maxx Yehl were both named First-Team All-Americans by D1Baseball.com. It is the first time in program history that two Mountaineers have been recognized as First-Team All-Americans in the same season.
Gavin Kelly
Kelly was essentially everyone’s pick to have a breakout season for the Mountaineers in 2026, but I’m not sure anyone expected him to do it the way he did. He hit nearly .400 all year and went on a power surge out of nowhere toward the end of the season, becoming one of the top home run hitters in the country over the last month or so of the year.
Kelly was named a Golden Spikes Award semifinalist, the MVP of the Morgantown Regional, and is currently participating in the Team USA Collegiate National Team training camp in Cary, North Carolina. For the year, he hit .382 with 19 home runs and 63 RBI, cementing himself as a top draft prospect in 2027.
Maxx Yehl
Maxx Yehl was one of the best stories in all of college baseball that didn’t get talked about nearly enough. He was forced to sit out the 2025 season as he was recovering from Tommy John surgery, and prior to this season, Yehl worked exclusively out of the bullpen. The plan all along was to eventually stretch him out into a starter, and in his first year in the role, he was one of the best in the entire country.
Steve Sabins and Co. did a good job of playing it safe with him early, letting him only go two and four innings in his first two starts before turning him loose. There were a couple of moments where Mountaineer fans had to take a deep breath after he was removed from two starts, one of which was in the Morgantown Regional against Kentucky. He bounced back strong and two days later, pitched a gem against the Wildcats, helping the team advance to the super regionals for the third straight season.
Yehl finished the season with a 9-3 record, an ERA of 2.13, and 112 strikeouts to just 26 walks. He was also the first WVU hurler to win Big 12 Pitcher of the Year since Alek Manoah, who did it in 2019.
