West Virginia hosts Kansas on Saturday for their first conference matchup in 2024. Both teams are 1-2, performing under expectations so far in this young season. Kansas was ranked heading into this year but has lost back-to-back games,

The Kansas front seven has another big test coming up after it has succeeded the last two weeks against dangerous ground attacks. The Jayhawks are only giving up 111.7 rushing yards per game. It’s likely to go up in Big 12 play, given the talent at running back across the league, but that’s still a 50-yard improvement from last year’s rush defense.

The TCU football social media account poked fun at SMU now being in the ACC, which means Saturday's rivalry matchup will be televised on The CW Network. The Guardians are on their way to winning the division, while the Royals, Twins and Tigers are all jockeying for wild-card position.
