MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Trends sure have shifted in the West Virginia-Kansas State football series.
Coach Dana Holgorsen’s program went 0-4 against the Wildcats upon entering the Big 12, but has eked out victories the past two years. Even though the No. 12 Mountaineers (2-0) are 16-point favorites entering today’s conference opener at Milan Puskar Stadium, they haven’t forgotten how difficult the series has been.
“I don’t know how we won the last two games,” Holgorsen joked this week.
In 2016, West Virginia rallied in the fourth quarter to pull ahead 17-16 and held on when Mitch McCrane missed a 43-yard field goal.
