LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas is going through growing pains this year with a pared down roster featuring mostly redshirt and true freshmen.
Today, it really showed.
West Virginia had a four-touchdown lead after the first quarter and cruised to a 49-0 victory over the severely undermanned Jayhawks here this afternoon at historic Memorial Stadium in Lawrence.
It was West Virginia’s first shutout in Big 12 play since joining the conference in 2012.
Immortal football names such as Gale Sayers, Bobby Douglass, John Riggins, Nolan Cromwell and John Hadl adorn the top of the the Memorial Stadium bowl, but nobody closely resembling those players were wearing red jerseys this afternoon.
