As they score: West Virginia upsets No. 24 Kansas State 24-20

MANHATTAN, Kan — WEST VIRGINIA TOUCHDOWN, 11:27 4th quarter, 24-20 WVU: On a 3rd and 22, Jarret Doege finds a wide open Bryce Wheaton, who sneaked behind the K-State secondary, for a 50-yard touchdown.

WEST VIRGINIA FIELD GOAL, 14:07 4th quarter, 20-17 Kansas State: Casey Legg makes a career long 51-yard field goal to keep the Mountaineers in it.

KANSAS STATE TOUCHDOWN, 7:56 3rd quarter, 20-14 Kansas State: The Wildcats open the second half with a 13-play, 70-yard drive that chewed up nearly half the third quarter, topped off with a 3-yard run by James Gilbert.

KANSAS STATE FIELD GOAL, 0:43 2nd quarter, 14-13 WVU: Kansas State knocks in a 33-yard field goal near the end of the first half.

WEST VIRGINIA TOUCHDOWN, 0:00 1st quarter, 14-10 WVU: On the last play of the first quarter, Jarret Doege finds George Campbell again on 3rd down for a touchdown to give the Mountaineers their first lead of the day.

KANSAS STATE FIELD GOAL, 4:43 1st quarter, 10-7 Kansas State: The Wildcats march down to the WVU 10-yard line, but the Mountaineers defense stands tall to force a field goal.

WEST VIRGINIA TOUCHDOWN, 11:05 1st quarter, 7-7: West Virginia answers K-State’s big touchdown with a steady drive, topped off with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Jarret Doege to George Campbell on 3rd down.

KANSAS STATE TOUCHDOWN, 13:37 1st quarter, 7-0 Kansas State: One play, and a 68-yard touchdown for Kansas State on a pass from Skylar Thompson to Dalton Schoen. After WVU gave up five-straight touchdowns to open the game last week against Texas Tech, this isn’t what they were hoping for.

West Virginia is looking to snap a five-game losing streak, while Kansas State hopes to get back to its winning ways after a loss last week at Texas. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. Saturday on ESPN.

Jarret Doege, who played well to end the Texas Tech game last week, will get the start at quarterback, replacing Austin Kendall for the Mountaineers.
