Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. The Mountaineers had too many self-inflicted wounds to overcome on Saturday and lost to a team that didn’t feel more talented, just more disciplined. In what was a great example of why “raw” stats don’t paint the full picture, West Virginia outgained the Wildcats 345 to 299 and picked up an additional five first downs. But context matters in football and West Virginia lost on the game’s most important plays and had too many critical mistakes on the routine ones. I think very similarly to Oklahoma State a week ago, Kansas State just played a sound game and let the Mountaineers beat themselves.
