Big 12 Moves Kickoff Time for WVU Football vs. Kansas

About an hour after the conference announced the possibility kickoff times for Saturday could change, the Big 12 confirmed the WVU football game will move to an earlier time slot.

Instead of the originally scheduled 5:30 pm ET time, West Virginia will now host Kansas at 3:30 pm ET.

The conference also moved Arizona at UCF to 5:30 pm ET, the previous slot for WVU and Kansas.

These changes are due to the continued monitoring of the travel disruptions stemming from Friday’s the FAA ground stoppage. Kansas having already arrived in Morgantown made the WVU game vulnerable to be moved.

Looking to rebound following a 53-48 loss at Texas Tech, West Virginia needs just one more win to become bowl eligible and send Rich Rodriguez to his first postseason game as WVU’s head coach in two decades.

Coming off the loss to the Red Raiders, WVU will enter their next game at 5-4 and 2-4 in Big 12 play. Conversely, Kansas sits at the bottom of the conference at 3-6 and 1-5, also coming off a heartbreaking 33-32 loss to UCF.
