After an early bye week, Kansas opens its big Big 12 schedule against West Virginia on Saturday in Lawrence, Kan.Instead of a week off, West Virginia (2-1) had to work overtime last weekend to secure a 31-24 victory against Pitt in their Backyard Brawl rivalry. The Mountaineers tied the game with 11 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and followed it up by forcing an incomplete pass in OT to come away with the victory.Tye Edwards led the Mountaineers with 141 rushing yards and scored three of WVU’s four touchdowns on the day.West Virginia anticipates another tough test against Kansas (2-1) and its unpredictable defense.”Some teams, you’ll see certain base defense mostly first and second down. Third down you’ll see the exotic stuff. You’ll see a lot from these guys on every down,” said Mountaineers coach Rich Rodriguez. “With the two weeks, they’re going to probably do some things we haven’t seen that we have to be prepared for. The only good part for us is that our defense does a lot of that, too.”Kansas struggled to run the ball and stop the run in its 42-31 loss at Missouri on Sept. 6. The Jayhawks allowed 261 rushing yards against the SEC opponent and only mustered 31 yards on the ground.
