The WVU football team is newest team to the Big 12 Conference. Although the Mountaineers have played in the league the five previous years, there have been some growing pains along the way.

That includes one loss to the lowly Jayhawks, who have consistently been one of the worst football teams in the Big 12. Luckily, the WVU football team hasn’t stooped to the Jayhawks level. Even with that one loss to Kansas in the past five years, the Mountaineers are still asserting themselves as a consistent threat in the conference.

This upcoming match up will be the seventh meeting between these two teams, with West Virginia owning a 5-1 overall record. There’s mostly been dominant performances in this series. Hopefully for the Mountaineers, that will be the case this season too.

The WVU football team is looking like a 20-point favorite, according to multiple betting sites, and should have no problem covering that spread. Kansas is limping into this game back consecutive losses to Mid-American Conference teams Central Michigan and Ohio.

Last season, the Jayhawks made a nice run at the end of the season with an overtime win against Teas. But that was their only Big 12 win of the season. This year, the Jayhawks will probably be winless in the conference again.

Here’s to hoping the Mountaineers don’t look too far past the Kansas football team. But, here’s to looking back at four of the more memorable wins the WVU football team had against the Jayhawks.
