MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — If there’s a right time to catch Kansas State, it’s right now.
West Virginia opens Big 12 play against conference’s traditional stalwart of physical football. For the Mountaineers, getting the Wildcats out of the way sooner rather than later is ideal. Every other Big 12 team approaches offense differently than Kansas State, so the thought is this game is much less of a changeup than it would be after playing the likes of Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
“A lot of the stuff that Youngstown was doing, run game-wise, is a lot like what Kansas State does with a mobile quarterback that can run a little bit,” said WVU defensive coordinator Tony Gibson.
