LANDOVER, Md. — It’s the first meeting between BYU and West Virginia, but the two programs have at least one thing in common.

There's some familiarity as well as some connections between the Cougars and Mountaineers, who meet Saturday (1:30 p.m. MDT, ESPN2) at FedEx Field, that can be traced back to offensive philosophy.

West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen played at Iowa Wesleyan under head coach Hal Mumme and offensive coordinator Mike Leach.
