Most Wildcat fans would rather forget about the last time these two teams met. Just a few days after a humiliating defeat at home, the Wildcats traveled to Lubbock and summarily got pantsed in the first half against the Red Raiders. The Wildcats pushed back late, but it was not enough and the Wildcats, who returned to Manhattan at 0-2 in the Big 12 and looking worse for the wear.
And then the Mountaineers came to town. Also at 0-2, and feeling the same pinch to get in the win column, the ‘Eers came out and pulled ahead big early.
