MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The Kansas State football team took care of business against West Virginia and defeated the Mountaineers, 48-31, for an important road victory on Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium.
K-State (8-3, 6-2 Big 12) moved one step closer to earning a berth in its first conference championship game since 2003 with the win. It will clinch a trip there, and a rematch against TCU, with a victory over rival Kansas next weekend.
West Virginia (4-7, 2-6) is no longer in the running for a bowl with the loss. It must now decide what to do with coach Neal Brown, who is on the hot seat near the end of a disappointing season.
