While it would have been great to finally win a second conference game, it was still heartening to watch the Jayhawks hang in with yet another Big 12 opponent. West Virginia came out of Lawrence with a 34-28 victory - although it wasn’t exactly a nailbiter - but clearly the game was still within reach most of the way.
The Jayhawks struck first in this one, with a field goal on their first drive. They proceeded to recover a fumble on West Virginia's first snap, and it felt like Kansas had a chance to really make a statement early.
