Re: @ #12 West Virginia (2-0), 2:30 pm, ESPN

#17 TCU @ Texas Saturday, September 22nd 3:30 PM CT, FOX #17 TCU (2-1) looked really, really good against Ohio State for 56 minutes. However, a 4 minute collapse where they gave up three touchdowns ultimately spelled defeat for the Horned Frogs. Texas (2-1) looked really bad its first two weeks but...

Re: @ #12 West Virginia (2-0), 2:30 pm, ESPN

In back-to-back weeks, KU busted a pair of long losing streaks, winning on the road for the first time since 2009 in clobbering Central Michigan and won a second game in a row for the first time since 2011. There was no giddiness after the road victory, which fueled confidence to just the right deg...

“He’s a guy that you see him run around quite a bit back there, he did against us last year and got a touchdown that made the difference in the ballgame. He’s an excellent scrambler, I guess is what I’m saying, and he has the athletic ability to make people miss. You look at the cut-up of all the s...

Re: @ #12 West Virginia (2-0), 2:30 pm, ESPN

The Mountaineers don't use their quarterback in the run game like Mississippi State did, which can draw a safety close to the line and liberate the receivers -- though they can play with two running backs at once to generate some attention. WVU does use its quarterback in ways to weaponize the offe...

Re: @ #12 West Virginia (2-0), 2:30 pm, ESPN

Kansas State’s mascot is a wildcat, but as far as offenses go in the Big 12, K-State is more of a unicorn. In a league with a reputation for wide-open offenses and high-scoring football games, coach Bill Snyder and the Wildcats usually take a different approach. The Wildcats traditionally like to r...

Re: @ #12 West Virginia (2-0), 2:30 pm, ESPN

Saturday’s football game will be the second time in three years that the Wildcats will be beginning conference play on the road against the Mountaineers. K-State has been on the road to begin Big 12 play every year since hosting Baylor in 2011. In his weekly press conference, head coach Bill Snyder...

Re: @ #12 West Virginia (2-0), 2:30 pm, ESPN

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — If there’s a right time to catch Kansas State, it’s right now. West Virginia opens Big 12 play against conference’s traditional stalwart of physical football. For the Mountaineers, getting the Wildcats out of the way sooner rather than later is ideal. Every other Big 12 team app...

Re: @ #12 West Virginia (2-0), 2:30 pm, ESPN

TCU may have lost to a blue-blood, five-star roster in Ohio State on Saturday night, but it wasn't out-classed. There wasn't an athletic mismatch on the field. "They're a very fast team," star Ohio State defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones said after the game. "Probably the fastest team I ever played ...

Re: @ #12 West Virginia (2-0), 2:30 pm, ESPN

MANHATTAN — When it comes to neutralizing West Virginia’s vaunted passing attack, Dalton Risner doesn’t beat around the bush. The way he sees it, the best defense is a good, well-grounded offense. “The key to winning this football game is going in there and playing Kansas State football, and on the...
