Weather delay for WVU-Kansas

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Just as Kansas was establishing momentum, weather calls for a stoppage in play. With 10:43 left in the fourth quarter, both WVU and Kansas head to their locker rooms due to lightning in the area.

The Jayhawks hold a 21-17 lead at the time of the delay. WVU also experienced a weather delay in their season opening game against Penn State and in 2023 against Duquesne.

At the start of the second half, Daniels found Luke Grimm in the corner of the end zone to tie the game at 14 after the Kansas touchdown.

Not to be outdone, Greene connects with sophomore wide receiver Traylon Ray for a 52-yard completion to get the Mountaineers into scoring range. However, WVU didn’t capitalize like they hoped, settling for a field goal from Michael Hayes, jumping back out in front, 17-14.

It was at this moment Daniels would find his stride and run all over the WVU defense, responding to another Hayes field goal to give the Jayhawks a 21-17 lead.

Then on the next possession, a 24-yard run by Greene was ruined by an ill-advised pass by Greene on the next play. The interception handed the ball right back to Daniels.

Greene was let off the hook when Kanas failed to take advantage on their ensuing drive.
