Keys to the game: WVU aims to start 2-0 for the first time since 2018 when it battles UT Martin
September 11, 2026
West Virginia is aiming to move to 2-0 on the season Saturday, when UT Martin comes to Morgantown. The Mountaineers opened the season with a 31-24 win over Coastal Carolina, but it was a game that got a little too close for comfort after WVU built a 24-0 lead.

Twenty-five years later, the name Chris Gray still means something to people around West Virginia. Gray was a former West Virginia quarterback who played for the Mountaineers from 1988-91. He appeared in 13 games, mostly as a backup, but his time in Morgantown ended up meaning much more than football. Gray was 32 years old when his life was cut short on September 11, 2001.
