Kansas Struggles in Big 12 Standings While West Virginia Defense Falters

Kansas sits tied for last in the Big 12 standings following a difficult campaign. The team’s lone conference victory came via a game-winning field-goal block against Baylor.

On the other sideline, West Virginia opened the year with three straight wins, including a victory over a ranked Virginia team.

However, the Mountaineers defense has since struggled immensely in conference play. West Virginia has surrendered 41 or more points in all but one Big 12 contest, allowing high-powered offenses to run unchecked.

West Virginia Leads All-Time Series as Coaches Face Off

West Virginia holds an 11-3 lead in the all-time series against the Jayhawks. Recent matchups, however, favor Kansas, including an overtime win in 2022 and a 31-point blowout victory last season in Lawrence.

Lance Leipold enters the matchup holding a 1-0 record against Rich Rodriguez.

Rodriguez is currently in his second stint leading the Mountaineers, having previously coached the program from 2001 to 2007. After posting a 4-8 record in his first year back, Rodriguez can secure bowl eligibility for West Virginia with a win on Saturday afternoon.

A loss for Kansas would mark the team’s seventh defeat of the year, officially eliminating the Jayhawks from postseason contention.
