West Virginia · Coastal Carolina

This one has a little more history to it than people remember. Sixteen years later, Coastal is a very different program, but this is still very much a get-right game for us at home.

KEY POINTS

  • After months of camp reps, depth chart speculation, and way too many hours spent theorizing about backfield rotations, it’s here.
  • West Virginia opens the 2026 season Saturday at noon against Coastal Carolina at Milan Puskar Stadium, and I don't think I'm the only one who's had this date circled for a while now.
  • WVU and Coastal have only met once before, all the way back in 2010, when the Chanticleers were still an FCS program.
  • Geno Smith threw for over 200 yards and two scores, Noel Devine ran wild, and West Virginia walked away with a 31-0 shutout.
