Countdown to Kickoff – Mountaineers Open Big 12 Play at Kansas
Reinvigorated takes on revenge-minded when West Virginia and Kansas meet tonight at newly refurbished David Booth/Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas, in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
Reinvigorated is West Virginia, following its 31-24 overtime victory over arch-rival Pitt last Saturday in Morgantown, while Kansas has revenge on its mind after last year's 32-28 loss in Morgantown when the Jayhawks blew an 11-point lead with 5:30 remaining in the fourth quarter.
