Bowl eligibility reached in a squeaker over West Virgina

On a blustery Senior Night, the K-State Wildcats overcame a dismal first half and pulled off a 24-23 win over West Virginia to give the Wildcats six wins on the season.

The six wins officially qualify the Wildcats for a bowl game for the sixth straight season.

The first quarter was pretty quiet for both teams as the Wildcats and the Mountaineers seemingly could get nothing consistent going .

West Virginia did get close enough to draw first blood as kicker Josh Lambert hit a 45 yard field goal, giving the Mountaineers a 3-0 lead.

The Wildcats offensive woes would continue into the second quarter as they would have to punt it away again to start the quarter.
