    West Virginia had originally planned to have a game the previous week against North Carolina State, but it was cancelled due to Hurricane Florence. The team and coaches began preparations against Kansas State early. Mountaineer Coach Dana Holgorsen said, "Kansas State's a tough outfit that we've got to prepare for."[22]

    Both teams started conference play with this game. Kansas State entered the game with a record of 2–1[23] where West Virginia had already secured victories against Tennessee (40–14) and Youngstown State (523–-17)."[22] This game is the ninth meeting between the two teams with the Wildcats holding a 5-3 overall lead. The teams have split the four games played at West Virginia.[24]

    West Virginia managed to take control of the game mid-way through the second quarter after Kansas State failed to convert on fourth down. West Virginia ended ahead at the half 21–0.[25] Kansas State managed control the ball more on offense but it wasn't enough, as West Virginia achieved 464 total yards compared to Kansas State's 318. Although West Virginia had four turnovers to Kansas State's one, the Wildcats lost 69 yards on 8 penalties compared to the Mountaineer's 35 yards on 3 penalties. West Virginia was 8–12 on third down conversions compared to Kansas State's 3–14.[26]

    In the second half of play, Kansas State was successful with two field goals and additional scores by the Mountaineers put the game to a conclusion of West Virginia's victory 35–6.[25]
