How calm prevented snowball from growing on WVU at Kansas State

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – In the course of a week, West Virginia was able to change its attitude from “here we go again” to “let’s go” after dealing with a catastrophic play.

The Mountaineers allowed touchdowns on the first five possessions of their 38-17 loss to Texas Tech, including an 81-yard pass that marked the moment where the wheels officially blew off in that game.

Four plays into the Kansas State game, West Virginia’s defense appeared to be living the nightmare all over again. The most consistent player in WVU’s secondary, cornerback Keith Washington, was burned for a 68-yard touchdown pass.
