COMMENTARY
LAWRENCE, Kan. — West Virginia, finally handed its turn at the 2015 Kansas piñata, cracked through the Jayhawks in minutes.
To most of the nation, it was nothing more than a lopsided score on the bottom scroll. To Mountaineer Nation, it reinforced plenty about their better-than-average football team.
Whereas an ugly win Saturday would’ve sufficed for bowl-eligibility purposes, the unabated mauling that transpired was indicative of how this West Virginia checks the boxes it’s supposed to check. Unlike recent years, West Virginia has avoided head-scratching losses in favor of some steady strong-arming.
