MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia quarterback Nicco Marchiol has been ruled out for Saturday’s home game against Utah.

In Thursday’s updated Big 12 Conference injury report, the Mountaineers (2-2, 0-1) list Marchiol among five players out for the 3:30 p.m. matchup with the Utes.

WVU head coach Rich Rodriguez noted Tuesday in his weekly media session Marchiol was in Colorado seeing a specialist for a foot injury, signaling it was a long shot the left-hander would see action in the team’s first Big 12 home game.

“He came to see me and told me on Sunday. I think he’d gone down to the training room a couple times before and talked to our guys about it, but that was the first time I’d known it was bothering him,” Rodriguez said.
