MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University coach Dana Holgorsen says the TCU week is always a fun one for his football team.
“I think there’s a little extra incentive in this game just obviously based on the fact that we both came into the league at the same time five years ago,” he said Tuesday afternoon. “You look back at the games that have been played, typically very competitive, a lot of fun and we’ve got a lot of respect for each other.”
The Big 12’s latest additions - and for the time being the only additions following Monday’s announcement that the league was not going to expand beyond 10 teams in the foreseeable future - West Virginia and TCU were two of the more appealing football programs located outside the traditional “Power 5” conferences a decade ago.
