MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia entered Saturday’s game against Kansas as one of the nation’s worst defenses statistically, and the Mountaineers certainly played like it.

What was more impressive was the way that KU limited WVU’s typically high-flying offense. The Jayhawks held the Mountaineers under 100 total yards through the first three quarters of action and at one point forced them to punt on seven consecutive drives. WVU made the final margin more respectable...

HUMILIATING: West Virginia Is Getting Destroyed at Home by a 3-6 Kansas Team With Bowl Eligibility on the Line

MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — There have been some embarrassing moments in the history of West Virginia football, but what is happening inside Milan Puskar Stadium this afternoon deserves a place among the most humiliating performances in recent memory. With bowl eligibility on the line, Rich Rodriguez and the Mountaineers are getting absolutely destroyed by a Kansas team that entered Saturday with a 3-6 record and just one Big 12 victory. With 3:19 remaining in the fourth quarter, Kansas leads West Virginia 37-14, and the Mountaineers have shown very little to suggest they were prepared for one of the most important games of their season.

OPINION: The midterm results finally mirror America

For generations, the face of American politics has largely been straight white men. Now, that image is beginning to change.
