MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Will Grier scrambled to his right and then retreated to his left, time ticking off the clock in the first half and No. 23 West Virginia seemingly content to take a one-point lead over Kansas State into halftime.
Then Grier unloaded a pass toward the end zone.
Ka'Raun White never had to move to haul in his second touchdown reception.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Ka'Raun and Kyzir White are adding to the family legacy started by their older brother at No. 23 West Virginia.
Kevin White stamped his place in Mountaineer lore after a senior season in 2014 that earned him second-team all-America honors with 1,447 receiving yards, the second most in school history.
Ka'Raun and Kyzir White followed Kevin from Pennsylvania's Lackawanna Junior College to West Virginia and have boosted their own name recognition this season.
West Virginia is jostling to get enough capable targets for quarterback Will Grier to throw to with the season opener less than two weeks away.
With the top two wide receivers gone from last year's team and other problems cropping up, the Mountaineers are looking to Ka'Raun White to take over perhaps the same way his brother, current Chicago Bears receiver Kevin White, did in a big way in his senior season with West Virginia in 2014.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Coach Mike Gundy and his Oklahoma State defense are getting ready for a visit from West Virginia's low-diving circus act.
Mountaineer wide receivers Jovon Durante, Daikiel Shorts and Ka'Raun White all made difficult catches in traffic last week against TCU, and the Cowboys took notice.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — That steady diet of drops by West Virginia wide receivers a year ago is turning into big gains so far this season.
A unit led by Shelton Gibson, Daikiel Shorts and Ka'Raun White had success on their home field this month and will be looking for more Saturday when the Mountaineers (2-0) play BYU (1-2) in Landover, Maryland.
