The broadcast team for Saturday night’s West Virginia vs. Iowa State Big 12 matchup on FOX has been confirmed. Tim Brando will provide the play-by-play commentary, while Devin Gardner will serve as the color analyst.
This primetime game is set to take place under the lights for West Virginia’s first-ever Coal Rush, with a near-capacity crowd expected. Although it’s early in the Big 12 season, both teams enter with 2-0 conference records, making this game crucial in the race to the Big 12 Championship.
For West Virginia to remain in the championship conversation, they’ll need to capitalize on their home-field advantage. After facing Iowa State, they will host Kansas State, another top Big 12 team. Head coach Neal Brown has struggled against ranked teams (2-14) and holds a 1-3 record against Iowa State, but after last week’s dominant win over Oklahoma State, there’s renewed optimism surrounding the program.
