The Mountaineers will host Kansas in week four, their first Big 12 matchup of the season. Each squad is 1-2 heading into the contest, dire to get a win. WVU is coming off a loss to rival Pitt in the Backyard Brawl,

The Kansas front seven has another big test coming up after it has succeeded the last two weeks against dangerous ground attacks. The Jayhawks are only giving up 111.7 rushing yards per game. It’s likely to go up in Big 12 play, given the talent at running back across the league, but that’s still a 50-yard improvement from last year’s rush defense.
