Coach Dana Holgorsen announced Thursday Childress will get the start for West Virginia Saturday as the Mountaineers take on Georgia State, WVIllustrated.com reports.

Commented Holgorsen on the decision to start the redshirt freshman this weekend, "We feel like he's ready. His fire is lit, he's sat there on the sidelines, when given the opportunity he's grabbed it and said let's go." Childress should prove an inviting start for fantasy owners heading into Week Three given Georgia State has yet to play a Division I program this season, but whether the redshirt freshman provides a long term answer to the Mountaineers' problems under center moving forward remains to be seen.
