Kansas Jayhawks Football Learns Kickoff Time for West Virginia Matchup as Jayhawks Prepare for Road Test

Kansas football now knows when it will take the field against West Virginia next weekend. The Big 12 announced Sunday that the Jayhawks' Week 11 matchup against the Mountaineers will kick off at 4:30 p.m. CT on ESPNU. Kansas will look to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss to UCF as it heads to Morgantown for another important conference matchup.

The Kansas Jayhawks are preparing for another Big 12 road test, and the schedule for next weekend's matchup against West Virginia has officially been finalized. The Big 12 Conference announced Sunday morning that Kansas will travel to Morgantown on Saturday, November 14, with kickoff scheduled for 4:30 p.m. CT.

The game will be played at Milan Puskar Stadium and televised nationally on ESPNU, giving Kansas another opportunity to compete in front of a national audience.

According to the official announcement from Kansas Athletics, this will be the Jayhawks' fourth road game of the season and their first 4:30 p.m. kickoff of the year.

Kansas enters the matchup looking to get back on track after suffering a heartbreaking 32-26 loss against UCF on Saturday. The Jayhawks appeared to have completed an incredible comeback after trailing 26-7 in the second half. Isaiah Marshall helped lead the comeback with two rushing touchdowns, while the defense struggled to get one final stop as UCF scored a game-winning touchdown in the closing seconds.

Marshall finished the afternoon completing 21 of 32 passes for 210 yards while adding two rushing touchdowns. Despite the loss, Kansas showed resilience and will need to carry that fight into next weekend.

West Virginia also enters the matchup coming off a difficult loss. The Mountaineers fell 53-48 against No. 15 Texas Tech in a high-scoring contest Saturday night. West Virginia's offense showed it can put points on the board, but its defense struggled to slow down the Red Raiders.

According to West Virginia Athletics, the matchup will also serve as Heroes Day, honoring former and active-duty military members and organizations.

The two programs have a lengthy history against one another, with West Virginia holding an 11-3 advantage in the all-time series. However, Kansas has found success in recent meetings, defeating the Mountaineers 41-10 last season.

The Jayhawks also won their last trip to Morgantown in 2022, earning a 55-42 overtime victory.

According to Kansas' game history, the Jayhawks will have an opportunity to improve their record against West Virginia and pick up another important conference victory.

With three regular-season games remaining after the UCF loss, Kansas needs to find a way to finish the season strong. Saturday's announcement gives the Jayhawks a clear target as they prepare for another challenging road environment.

Kansas and West Virginia will kick off at 4:30 p.m. CT next Saturday, November 14, on ESPNU.  JayhawksRoundtable.
