This is the fourth time this season WVU will start at noon, every single home game thus far. The Mountaineers are 3-0 in this time slot this season.
The Mountaineers (3-1, 2-1) defeated Kansas this weekend while the Wildcats (3-1, 3-0) were in a bye week. WVU plays at Texas Tech on Saturday, Oct. 24, and KSU hosts in-state rival KU.
The all-time series is tied 5-5. Since the two teams became Big 12 co-members, the series is 4-4. K-State dominated the first four meetings in conference play, but WVU holds a four-game win streak.
Last year, the Mountaineers triumphed in Manhattan 24-20, with QB Jarret Doege making his first start for the Old Gold and Blue. Doege went 20-30 for 234 yards and three touchdowns.
