MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When it comes to beating Kansas State, no one has provided a better blueprint this season than Mississippi State.
The Bulldogs bludgeoned their way to 384 rushing yards during a 31-10 win in Manhattan, Kan. in Week 2.
While No. 12 West Virginia occupies a similar spot in the AP Top 25 as No. 14 Mississippi State, there doesn’t figure to be a ton of similarity between their respective game plans against. The Bulldogs are built to overpower opponents on the ground behind dual-threat quarterback Nick Fitzgerald, while West Virginia doesn’t want to expose Will Grier to that many hits.
