University officials said the gesture was meant to show solidarity with the victims, their families, and the broader National Guard community. Players wore helmet decals to honor the service members, and head coach comments emphasized the importance of supporting those who protect the nation.
The Mountaineers’ tribute drew strong applause from fans, serving as a reminder of the close ties between the program and the state’s military families.
