MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — From the West Virginia sideline, offensive lineman Tyler Orlosky saw Kansas State’s go-ahead field goal sail through the uprights.
“It looked good from my angle, so I put my head down for a second,” Orlosky said. “But then I heard everybody start cheering.”
Turns out, Matthew McCrane missed the 42-yard kick and Kansas State missed a chance to extend its four-year stranglehold over West Virginia. Even a slim margin was enough for Orlosky, one of the seniors who finally enjoyed a win over the Wildcats, 17-16, on Saturday at sold-out Milan-Puskar Stadium.
