3 Keys to a West Virginia Victory Against Kansas
By Joshua Petry
1. Create Turnovers
If you look at the box score after a football game, it seems that more times than not the team that turns the ball over the most loses the football game.
In the case of the Kansas Jayhawks, they have not been very good at forcing turnovers through the first three games of the season. But on that same note, neither has WVU.
Kansas has only managed to force 2 turnovers this season -- WVU, meanwhile, has just one takeaway. On the flip side, Kansas has allowed 8 turnovers, while WVU has given the ball away 6 times. That means the Mountaineers edge out the Jayhawks in terms of turnover margin, though both teams rank in the bottom 10 teams in FBS in the category, with Kansas in the bottom 5.
WVU's secondary must take advantage of Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniel's bad decision-making so far on the year with him throwing 6 picks. Any turnovers that WVU can force must be capitalized on with points being put on the board.
