After watching way more West Virginia football than I’m comfortable with, I have 1 tip for the K-State run game. You’ve got to run at West Virginia instead of letting West Virginia run at you.
The Mountaineers play an aggressive 3-3-5 stack defense. They use 3 defensive linemen, 3 linebackers, 2 boundary corners, 2 hybrid safeties, and a free safety.
If not, here’s a picture.

Red = Defensive linemen
Green = Linbacker
Blue = Corner
Purple = Hybrid Safety
Yellow (off screen) = Free Safety
The crux of this odd formation is to create chaos.
