West Texas A&M head football coach Josh Lynn met with the media to talk about the Buffs 2026 season opener against Western Colorado. Lynn talked about the excitement of starting a new season after going 8-3 a year ago and winning a Heritage Bowl championship. Lynn also discussed opening the year at home and going up against a very good Western Colorado team that was ranked No. 11 in the Division II preseason poll. The Buffs return nine starters off of last year’s squad. Game time with the Mountaineers is set for 7 p.m. at Bain-Schaeffer Buffalo Stadium
