BY JOHN LOWE SPORTS EDITOR The West Virginia University football team is headed to a bowl game for the 18th time in the last 19 seasons. The Mountaineers will head to Orlando to take on Syracuse in the Camping World Bowl. “We’re excited to go to the Camping World Bowl in Orlando once again,” WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said. “From a proximity point of view, it’s spectacular, it’s perfect for us. We’re pretty familiar with the state of Florida, with Orlando and how things work down there for the bowl game. We got a great old Big East matchup with us in Syracuse. We’re excited about that.” The bowl game will take place on Dec. 28 and kickoff at 5:15 p.m. Holgorsen mentioned that he did not know if outgoing offensive coordinator and new Texas State head coach Jake Spavital would be coaching in the bowl game. “I haven’t heard from Jake since his press conference,” Holgorsen said. “Obviously I talked to him throughout the process and was thrilled to death. He was a hot commodity to have at several schools that were talking to him as far as being the head coach and he settled on Texas State and that’s great for Texas State. Once he called me and he said ‘I like it, I’m taking it’, I said ‘congratulations’ and then we both started recruiting. He’s going to be buckled down with recruiting over the next three weeks, and that is 100 percent his decision.” Holgorsen said he would take

over offensive coordinator duties for the bowl game should Spavital decide not to return for it. He also did not speak on what players, if any, would skip the bowl game. “I gave our guys a week off, and then next week is all about academics as they wrap up the semester,” Holgorsen said. “I got a recruiting weekend next weekend which is when we’re going to reconvene as a football team and kind of see where their mind is.” WVU will take on former Big East rival Syracuse, who finished the season with a 9-3 record and ranked 20th in the College Football Playoff rankings. Their only losses came to Clemson, Pitt and Notre Dame. Holgorsen said playing Syracuse would be a lot like playing a Big 12 team. “I don’t know a whole lot [about Syracuse] personnel-wise,” Holgorsen said. “Me and Coach Babers have known each other for a long time, grew up in the air raid system. [We’ve] been going to clinics since back in my early Texas Tech days and he was at Texas A&M. I know he spent a little time at Baylor and took that system and went to Bowling Green and then went to Syracuse and have had unbelievable success as a head coach running that type of system.” Syracuse holds a 33-27 record over the Mountaineers, with the most recent meeting coming in the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl in New York. The Orange won that game, 38-14. West Virginia and Syracuse were conference rivals in the Big East from 1991 until 2011. The Mountaineers left for the Big 12 in 2012; the Orange bolted for the ACC in 2013.
