The main storyline for Kansas football’s 11 a.m. game at No. 9 West Virginia on Saturday won’t be complicated: Can the Jayhawks fare better against the pass than they have lately?
West Virginia, with help from Heisman-candidate quarterback Will Grier, has thrown for 726 yards and eight touchdowns in its first two Big 12 games. Meanwhile, KU is coming off a game where it allowed 20.8 yards per completion in a 48-28 home loss to Oklahoma State.
KU coach David Beaty said the Cowboys were successful by using double moves against the Jayhawks’ secondary, and it’d be shocking if West Virginia doesn’t try to test KU down the field as well.
