In coach David Beaty’s tenure— and even before — Kansas football program has made a habit of being uncompetitive in Big 12 road games.
That wasn’t the case Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, W.Va.
The Jayhawks’ defense forced four turnovers — including three red-zone interceptions from Heisman candidate Will Grier — while keeping it close in a 38-22 loss to No. 9 West Virginia.
KU, which entered as a 27-point underdog, had a bounceback defensive effort after struggling in last week’s 48-28 loss to Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks sacked Grier five times, which was notable considering that the team had only five sacks in the first five weeks combined.
