WATCH: West Virginia drops 11 into coverage, still embarrasses itself vs. Kansas

The West Virginia Mountaineers are actually having some trouble against the Kansas Jayhawks at home on Saturday afternoon.

Their defense isn’t helping matters, allowing the Jayhawks to convert a long third-and-15 play early in the third quarter.

As you can see in the video below, it was even worse because the Mountaineers dropped all 11 defenders into coverage:

What the Mountaineers thought their defensive linemen were going to do bunched together five yards down the field on a third-and-15 play is beyond me, but they probably would have been better served trying to get some pass rush.

When you allow plays like this to the Jayhawks, of all teams, it’s a bad sign for what many think is a College Football Playoff contender.
