Good morning from West Texas!

Warmups have started on the field here at Jones AT&T Stadium on the Texas Tech campus as the No. 25 Red Raiders prepare to host No. 12 West Virginia here in little more than an hour.

Nothing major to report on the listed starting lineup for the Mountaineers. Kennedy McKoy is down as the starting running back, but as we’ve seen so far this season that likely just means he’ll be on the field for the first few plays or series before WVU gets Martell Pettaway and Leddie Brown into the game.

I made this mistake of tweeting (could probably just end the sentence there) this morning about WVU wearing “yellow-white-yellow” and was informed the Mountaineers wear gold. Look, I know the official school color is listed as gold but what WVU wears sure looks like yellow to me. Notre Dame’s helmets are gold, West Virginia’s pants are yellow.

Anyway, WVU will go with this look:

And Texas Tech will go with red helmets, black jerseys and white pants.

And here is a photo of the Texas Tech mascot attempting to hijack some wheels this morning outside the stadium.
