West Virginia unleashed its run game and locked up a bowl bid with a 49-0 shutout of winless Kansas on Saturday in Lawrence. What we learned:
What the win means for West Virginia: The Mountaineers, now 6-5, are embracing and executing a run-first offensive identity and are poised to finish the regular season on a five-game winning streak with Iowa State and Kansas State left on the schedule. They kept it nice and simple against KU, had an easy time moving the ball and let starters get some valuable rest by pulling them during the third quarter.
