MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Kansas coach David Beaty is still waiting for that first celebration on the plane ride back home.Beaty was the receivers coach under Mark Mangino the last time the Jayhawks won a road game in 2009. When Beaty was named the teams head coach last season, he inherited a 30-game road losing streak.Kansas will try to summon the will to avoid that streak hitting 40 on Saturday at No. 14 West Virginia (6-1, 3-1 Big 12, No. 20 CFP).To have a chance, Beaty said his players must start fast because they tend to fade as the game goes on. The Jayhawks have been held under 10 points in two of their last three contests.Given our roster and just the amount of depth that we have, at times youre going to get wore down a little bit. We understand that, Beaty said.Despite the teams struggles, including a 56-3 loss at Oklahoma last week , Beaty said he is sticking with Montell Cozart as his starting quarterback. Cozart has thrown four interceptions in the past two weeks.The Jayhawks (1-7, 0-5) have lost 17 straight Big 12 games. Theyll have a chance to severely damage West Virginias conference title hopes.The Mountaineers are coming off their first loss , 37-20 at Oklahoma State. They still face No. 12 Oklahoma and No. 13 Baylor at home and Texas and Iowa State on the road.Coach Dana Holgorsen is simply looking for improvements on offense, no matter the opponent this week, after the Mountaineers were held to their second-lowest point total of the season against the Cowboys.We have to score, Holgorsen said. We just have to be in the right frame of mind, and we will be this Saturday.West Virginia has held four straight opponents to under 400 yards of offense after failing to do that in the first three games of the season. The Mountaineers have allowed 16 touchdowns all season, one less than Baylor.Im happy with where we are at, said West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. Being the defensive coach, I think whether it is conference titles, national titles, whatever it may be, thats the way you win championships. Were not talking about that in our building. Thats a long way away. We have to be able to beat Kansas, so we have to prepare to get ourselves ready to go.---Some other things to know as the Jayhawks and Mountaineers prepare to play at night:TURNOVER TROUBLES: Kansas is last in the nation in turnovers and next-to-last in turnover margin.
