MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia is seeking a sixth victory tonight when it faces Kansas in a Big 12 clash at Milan Puskar Stadium.
The Mountaineers (5-4 overall and 2-4 in Big 12 play) were unable to pull off an upset at now-10th-ranked Texas Tech last Saturday despite outscoring the Red Raiders 21-0 in the third quarter to take a 48-41 lead into the final period.
Quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. ran for three more touchdowns at Texas Tech and now owns West Virginia's single season rushing touchdown record with 19, topping the 18 produced by Amos Zereoue in 1997 and matched by quarterback Pat White in 2006.
