MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — — Garrett Greene threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Rodney Gallagher with 26 seconds left to lead West Virginia to a 32-28 victory over Kansas in their lightning-delayed Big 12 season opener on Saturday.

The Mountaineers (2-2) rallied from an 11-point deficit with two touchdown passes from Greene in the final 3:27. It came a week after the Mountaineers squandered a 10-point lead in the final three minutes of a heartbreaking loss at Pittsburgh.

But Saturday’s outcome wasn’t final until West Virginia’s Tyrin Bradley stole the ball from Jalon Daniels on a pass attempt and Bradley got it back with 8 seconds left.

Kansas appeared to have control when wide receiver Luke Grimm ran 32 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown with 5:39 left to increase the lead to 28-17.

But Greene, who had been shaky up until that point, took over. He hit Kole Taylor with an 8-yard TD toss, and Taylor caught Traylon Ray’s two-point conversion pass.

After Kansas was forced to punt, Greene ran 25 yards on the winning drive. A pass interference call in the end zone on Kansas’ Mello Dotson gave the Mountaineers first-and-goal at the 10. A false start pushed the ball back to the 15 before Greene hit Gallagher in the end zone for the final margin.

Greene, who also had a 5-yard scoring run, completed 15 of 30 passes for 295 yards. Hudson Clement caught seven passes for 150 yards.

Devin Neal rushed for 110 yards for Kansas (1-3). It was his fourth straight 100-yard game this season.

The game was delayed nearly two hours by lightning early in the fourth quarter.

The takeaway meal

Kansas: KU has lost three straight games. The Jayhawks are in free fall after starting the season ranked.

West Virginia: The Mountaineers showed they’ve got it in their comeback win, but the schedule won’t get any easier with the next three games against higher-ranked opponents and three of the next five games on foreign soil.

Next

Kansas: Hosts TCU next Saturday.

West Virginia: Has a week off before playing No. 14 Oklahoma State on Oct. 5.
