OK, about NaQuari Rogers
- RB/LB: These two things can be true at the same time… - Rich loves the future of the talented young running backs we have in the room.

Three Key Matchups: West Virginia vs Oklahoma State
- West Virginia cornerback Chams Diagne leads the defense with 181 snaps in 2026 and has a cited 59.8 PFF grade. The preview rates his tackling more highly than his coverage and projects a difficult matchup with Oklahoma State's Justin Bowick; that matchup is the writer's expectation, not a confirmed shadow assignment.
- West Virginia's DJ Epps leads the team entering Oklahoma State week in 2026 with 10 targets, eight catches, 240 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The preview lists an 87.2 PFF grade and near-exclusive slot usage, adding a current role and production snapshot rather than announcing a new receiver alignment.
- West Virginia tackles Kevin Brown and Carsten Casady are the two lowest-graded starting linemen in the 2026 matchup preview, but they have allowed only two combined pressures this season. The writer flags Oklahoma State's wide edge rush as a test; the grades do not establish that WVU has already changed its starting tackles.
