WVU will open the 2022 season with the Backyard Brawl at Pitt on Thursday, September 1st, in a night game. Three weeks later the Mountaineers will travel to Blacksburg to defend their Black Diamond Trophy against the Hokies in another Thursday night game. WVU will also have a home game on a Thursday against Baylor in October.
