The West Virginia Mountaineers will join the Big 12 Conference for the first time in the 2012 season. Previously, the Mountaineers were a powerhouse in the Big East Conference; however, college football thought it was necessary they improve certain conferences as they look forward to the Big 12’s high level of competition. The Mountaineers operate under head coach Dana Holgorsen at Milan Puskar Stadium, which holds about 60,000 fans. Gold and Blue are sported well in the NFL, as the Mountaineers have many current players including: Miami Dolphins running back Steve Slaton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Najee Goode, and Carolina Panthers corner back and return specialist Brandon Hogan. In the last 10 years the Mountaineers have made three BCS games: a 2005 win in the Sugar Bowl, a 2007 win in the Fiesta Bowl, and last seasons rout in the Orange Bowl. The Mountaineers crushed the Tigers last year in the Orange Bowl as they set a college football record for most points scored in a bowl game (70-33).
