The West Virginia Mountaineers will start the 2019 campaign and the start of the Neal Brown era wearing the best looking uniforms in college football. Change my mind.

This classic look comes as no surprise as Neal Brown has been tuned in to fans who watched the Mountaineers wear nearly every other combination other than their normal colors. Brown knew this and I had no doubt he would wear the traditional colora in his first game.
The game will bring about a lot of firsts - Neal's first game as head coach at WVU, quarterback Austin Kendall's first start, and the Mountaineers’ first defense that isnt a 3-3-5 since the DeForest disaster among others.
One thing that won't change is that West Virginia sings Country Roads at the end of every victory. Let's Go!!
