MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Skyler Howard produced five touchdowns and No. 20 West Virginia recovered from its first loss of the season by crushing Kansas 48-21 on Saturday.

Justin Crawford ran for 129 yards and Kennedy McKoy piled up 127, part of 605 total on a mostly easy night for the Mountaineers (7-1, 4-1 Big 12), who stayed one loss back of Oklahoma in the conference race.

Howard’s 260-yard passing night heavily favored Shelton Gibson (102 yards and two touchdowns) and Daikiel Shorts (104 yards with one score). The senior quarterback also ran for two scores.
