While West Virginia is coming off a disappointing 28-16 loss to Iowa State on Coal Rush night, the Wildcats managed to avoid an upset. Kansas State beat Colorado 31-28 after entering the week ranked No. 18 in the country by the Associated Press.
Two fourth quarter interceptions from Garrett Greene led to 14 points for the Cyclones. Just like any fan, WVU legend and media mogul Pat McAfee shared his disappointment and thoughts about the rest of the season immediately following the loss on social media.
