The Jayhawks lost a close one today that could have been different had a few calls gone Kansas’ way. Some of the penalties and decisions by the officials seemed flat out wrong, and it hurt the Jayhawks’ chances at winning, but that isn’t why Kansas football got beat by West Virginia.
It’s hard to critique the Kansas defense too much though. West Virginia dominated time of possession, and it seemed like the Jayhawks offense could never sustain a drive and give the defense a quick break.
The Mountaineers controlled the clock, and therefore controlled the game. The Kansas running game came up brutally short, especially after being extremely effective the week before.
