Tomorrow morning at around 10 AM, Nike is to unveil their new Nike Pro Combat uniforms for 10 schools. Those schools schools are Alabama, Boise State, Florida, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon State, Pittsburgh, TCU, Virginia Tech and finally, West Virginia.

This evening in New York City, the Daily Athenaeum found out that both Pittsburgh and West Virginia will be wearing the jerseys on November 26 in the Backyard Brawl.

As for a description of the jerseys to be worn for each team, here we go:

Pittsburgh: Reuben Brown, who played for Pitt as well as the Buffalo Bills and the Chicago Bears, helped designed the new uniforms. The Panthers’ jerseys will be navy blue in color for in both the pants and top halves. Their helmet will be goldish in color with an I-beam running down the middle of the helmet to represent the steel-rich heritage of the cities’ past.

West Virginia: Bob Huggins, who is the head of the men’s basketball team and who also has deep ties to the state of West Virginia, helped design WVU’s uniforms. The Mountaineers’ uniforms will be white from head to toe with the exception of the shoulders and just under the armpit. Those areas will be black in color with a yellow flying WV symbol. WVU’s shoes will be yellow in color with black socks. The Mountaineers’ helmet, which is by far the most interesting piece of the jerseys, has a yellow accent on the front which fades to black and then sequentially white, which signifies the helmet of a coal miner.

Both of the jerseys are very fitting for the Backyard Brawl, and will add that much more to the rivalry. As for the rest of the jerseys, here is a breakdown of the look, tradition and who helped designed it.

• Miami (Michael Irvin): Tonal Fir palm-frond print emblematic of South Florida incorporated into the jersey numbers, pant and footwear.

• Alabama (Marty Lyons): Houndstooth check pattern incorporated into the uniform in tribute to legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant.

• Boise State (Jerard Rabb): Reflective, Game Royal Bronco head on the uniform echoes the famed blue turf of Bronco stadium.

• Florida (Errict Rhett): Alligator-skin motif used in the jersey numbers, pant, gloves and footwear inspired by menacing Gator mascot.

• Ohio State (Charles Csuri): Stylized script numbers, a replica U.S. flag on the jersey sleeve and the camouflage-print base layer honor the WWII-bound Buckeyes, National Champions of 1942.

• Oregon State (Steve Preece): Retro design revives a look worn by the victorious 1967 “Giant Killers.”

• Based on sources, Oregon State’s uniforms may not be unveiled on Wednesday morning, but they will most likely have stripes on both the sleeves and the socks, which is similar to those in 1967.

• TCU (Matt Lewis): Icy lizard-skin pattern used throughout the uniform inspired by the scaly body armor of TCU’s horned frog mascot and a memorable quote from celebrated coach Leo “Dutch” Meyer.

• Virginia Tech (Col. Rock Roszak): All-black uniform references the cadet gray-and-black regalia worn by Virginia Tech’s original football team and honors the school’s current Corps of Cadets.

According to the Charleston Daily Mail, freshman offensive lineman Marquis Wallace has transferred to Marshall. WVU confirmed that he has left the program, but per school policy they did not confirm the move to Marshall.

The 6-foot-5, 290-pound lineman had eligibility issues while at WVU, and because of those issues, he did not have to be released from his scholarship by the Mountaineers in order to make the move to Marshall.

Wallace must now sit out the entire 2010 season because of the transfer.

The move is not surprising as it had looked as though Wallace fell out of favor with the coaching staff in his short stint in Morgantown.

Just weeks ago, West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart was asked about Wallace’s eligibility issue, and he provided a stern response.

“He is a fourth-string offensive lineman. Let’s talk about people that are going to play,” Stewart said.

In watching Wallace closely during workouts, he looked to be physically overmatched during some drills and in scrimmages. Also, he seemed to be somewhat out of shape during the first weeks of training camp.

With the Wallace’s transfer, the Mountaineers’ depth at guard now gets a little bit thinner, but much of their depth throughout the line will be determined when the right tackle and right guard position battles are decided.

As it stands now here is the two deep depth chart.

LT: Don Barclay, Matt Timmerman

LG: Josh Jenkins, Nick Kindler

C: Eric Jobe, John Bassler

RG: Joe Madsen, Cole Bowers

RT: Jeff Braun, Pat Egar/Cole Bowers

J.D. Woods – R-Soph., WR

Measurables: 6-foot, 192 pounds

Hometown: Naples, Fla. (Golden Tate High School)

A little bit about him: Heading into fall camp, Woods is the leader for the final starting wide receiver spot. Position coach Lonnie Galloway always seemed to take a liking to Woods, and this is his first true chance to make an impact. While he has a few other outside receivers in a heated battle for that spot, Woods has been the most consistent and is the oldest. While he might not beat you with his strength, length, height or speed, the combination he has of all four of those categories make him a dangerous threat in the air. The problem is that he is inexperienced to be a starter on the outside.

A little-known fact: When WVU faces Cincinnati this year, it could be a battle between Woods’. The Bearcats have a D.J. Woods on their roster – and coincidentally, both had verbally committed to the Mountaineers in the same year. D.J. switched, though.

Will Johnson – Sr., TE

Measurables: 6-foot-2, 238 pounds

Hometown: Dayton, Ohio (Centerville High School)

A little bit about him: Johnson has been thrown around the field for the Mountaineers in his career. When he started, he was a wide receiver. But, because of his size and frame that allowed him to gain weight and stay quick, coaches moved him to tight end. Today, he is one of the best true pass-catching tight ends in the Big East Conference. He hasn’t lived up to that, but this might be his year. WVU wants to use the tight end more in its offense. I would also bet you will see Johnson in the slot, as well. We all know Johnson can catch, but it’s been his blocking ability that has kept him behind Tyler Urban on the depth chart.

A little-known fact: While he came to WVU to play wide receiver, he actually was a running back and defensive back in high school.

Statistics from today’s scrimmage:

Eain Smith – R-Jr., S

Measurables: 5-foot-11, 204 pounds

Hometown: Miramar, Fla. (Chaminade-Madonna Prep High School)

A little bit about him: If there has been an unsung hero in the Mountaineers’ secondary, it has to be Smith. He has been a steady contributor for three seasons and will be expected to play big roles as a backup at free safety and on special teams. In fact, Smith might be WVU’s special teams key. He has blocked two field goal attempts during the first five practices and was close to having a third. While he does not have the measurables of a player like Robert Sands or even Terence Garvin, Smith is as athletic as players come. He should have a solid 2010 in his role. In fact, WVU head coach Bill Stewart has called Smith out multiple times for his strong work ethic this fall.

A little-known fact: He has four starts in his career. All four of those came in 2008.

Mountaineer senior goalkeeper Zach Johnson was one of 30 players in the nation selected as a candidate for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award on Wednesday.

Johnson is one of five players from the Big East to be on the list.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas – classroom, character, community and competition.

The Senior CLASS Award will be announced during the NCAA Men’s College Cup championship game in December.

Shawne Alston – Soph., RB

Measurables: 5-foot-11, 222 pounds

Hometown: Hampton, Va. (Phoebus High School)

A little bit about him: Alston is widely considered one of the Mountaineers big backs. At 222 pounds, he is capable of bulldozing a defender or running past him. The problem with doing so is that he has a slew of running backs in front of him. While it might be a few years before Alston is able to truly show what he can do, he has been doing just that in fall practices. He, like Ryan Clarke, will likely be used as a power back in his time at West Virginia. If Alston has a strong fall camp, he could be used at times late in games when the Mountaineers have a nice lead. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him step in against Coastal Carolina in the second half.

A little-known fact: He played in five games last year

With an injury to Sidney Glover WVU head coach Bill Stewart has needed someone to step up and make plays at the safety position. Eain Smith never had to be told twice.

Stewart has been overly impressed with Smith, a red-shirt junior. He is a familiar face in the back end of the defense. The Miramar, FL native played in 26 games in the past two seasons but has yet to start a game. If the injuries to Glover and Tandy take a turn for the worst Stewart says the secondary will not skip a beat throwing a player like Smith into the mix.

“I like Eain at free safety and Robert (Sands) at bandit,” Stewart said, “You can still play Sidney (Glover) at bandit and Robert at free safety and roll Eain down to spur. Now we don’t know where we’re lining up.”

The third year head coach enjoys having a different mixture at each position because it allows the defense to disguise itself on any given play.

“It really makes trickery our forte,” Stewart said.

For the third time this week Smith intercepted a pass during a game like situation. Wednesday’s practice was seen as a scrimmage and Stewart gives Smith all the credit in the world for stepping up in a big way.

“He’s not been nicked like in year’s past, he’s stronger, has great quickness and has a great first step in the secondary. He has a great knack.

In his freshman season Smith made an impact as he was involved in 69 tackles from the safety position. He depressed those stats a bit last year only taking part in 17 stops.

It is safe to say Smith is tired of falling back in terms of his personal statistics and also decreasing on the depth chart. It may have taken an injury to really get the chatter about Smith going but he has felt an initiative to be a leader in the fall camp. Smith is very vocal during drills and points out directions to younger guys.

This is something Sands has taken notice of early in the camp.

“Eain is a lot more confident this year and has been fighting for playing time because he is getting better,” said Sands.

While Stewart and the rest of the team and staff is hoping for a speedy recovery for Glover there is a small token of gratification that Eain Smith can and will come through when the going gets rough.
