WVU experiences season-ending injuries to running back Jahiem White and wide receiver Jaden Bray.

In a disappointing turn of events for West Virginia's football team, coach Rich Rodriguez announced on his weekly radio show that running back Jahiem White and wide receiver Jaden Bray will miss the rest of the season due to injuries.

The injuries occurred during West Virginia's game against Ohio on Saturday. White, who scored a 32-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, will undergo surgery for a knee injury. Bray, on the other hand, will require surgery for an unspecified injury that affects the same foot that ended his season after five games last year.

The setback comes at a crucial time for the Mountaineers, who are set to host Pittsburgh in the Backyard Brawl on Saturday. The game, which is a part of the long-standing series, will take place in West Virginia.

Pittsburgh currently boasts a record of 2-0, while West Virginia stands at 1-1. The Mountaineers will look to replace White with backup running backs including Grant Wells and Jaret Wilson for the rest of the season.

Bray, who had 95 receiving yards on seven catches against Ohio and FCS Robert Morris, will be a significant loss for West Virginia's offensive line. His absence is expected to create a void that the team will need to fill effectively to maintain their competitive edge.

The injuries to White and Bray are a blow to West Virginia's hopes for the season, but the team remains resilient. Fans can stay updated on the AP Top 25 college football poll throughout the season by visiting apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and apnews.com/hub/college-football.
