MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia faces the Kansas Jayhawks in its penultimate home game on Saturday, Nov. 14, at Milan Puskar Stadium at 5:30 p.m.
The Mountaineers (5-4 overall and 2-4 in Big 12 play) were unable to pull off an upset at now-10th-ranked Texas Tech last Saturday despite outscoring the Red Raiders 21-0 in the third quarter to take a 48-41 lead into the final period.
Quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. ran for three more touchdowns at Texas Tech and now owns West Virginia's single season rushing touchdown record with 19, topping the 18 produced by Amos Zereoue in 1997 and matched by quarterback Pat White in 2006.
Older West Virginia records had All-American Ira Errett Rogers owning the rushing touchdown mark, but deeper research revealed that his touchdown total also included punt and kickoff returns.
Hawkins needs only 99 passing and 76 rushing yards to become the first quarterback in school history with 2,000 passing and 1,000 rushing yards in the same season. White exceeded 1,000 yards rushing twice, but his highest passing total was 1,842 yards in 2008.
