West Virginia knocks off Kansas State 17-16

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.

It may take a while for Kansas State football players to get over this loss.

West Virginia came from behind to defeat K-State 17-16 on Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium, knocking off the Wildcats in the type of game they usually find ways to win.

K-State led 13-0 at halftime and 16-3 in the fourth quarter. A few more defensive stops or one more score, and victory felt assured.

Instead, the Mountaineers reeled off a pair of late touchdowns and held off a last-minute charge from the Wildcats.

West Virginia took its first lead with 6:11 remaining on a touchdown pass from Skyler Howard to Jovon Durante.
