“Practice went fine today. We consider this our Tuesday practice so we were getting into our normal routine for the game week. The weather has been outstanding and I can see that our players are getting excited for
game day.

“The players’ focus has been good, and they have been working hard. We are down here to win a football game, and I think our mix of preparation and fun has been good.”

WVU Coach Dana Holgorsen said that and that Najee Goode, Joe Madsen, Eu and Keith Tandy will be Wednesday’s game captains.

The Mountaineers practiced today for one hour and 45 minutes at Barry University and then went to the Orange Bowl Family Beach Party from 2-6 p.m. at the Fontainebleau Hotel. Walk-on receiver Connor Arlia, from Weirton, was taken to the hospital after a jet ski accident. The trip was precautionary and WVU will update his condition tomorrow.

Former Mountaineers at practice Saturday were Grantis Bell, Johnny Dingle, Dale Williams and Puppy Wright. Former University of Miami Coach Randy Shannon and Florida Atlantic assistant coach Kurt VanValkenburgh were also in attendance.
