<p>Charlie Weis' Kansas Jayhawks will try to pull off their first Big 12 win of the season this Saturday against West Virginia.</p> <p>Hoping to end their dismal campaign on a high note, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/kansas-jayhawks">Kansas Jayhawks</a> will make the trek to Morgantown this weekend for a Big 12 season finale against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/west-virginia-mountaineers">West Virginia Mountaineers</a>.</p>
<p>Kansas has yet to win a conference game this season, and has now dropped 20 consecutive Big 12 games dating all the way back to Nov. 13 of 2010. One player who will be desperate to turn the tide in his final game as a college quarterback will be senior <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/50230/dayne-crist">Dayne Crist</a>, who passed for 156 yards and one touchdown in the Jayhawks' most recent game against Iowa State. Though Crist recently lost time under center to talented freshman Mike Cummings, his gutsy performance in the loss to the Cyclones likely assures him one final start before graduation.</p>
<p>Already assured of a bowl bid after taking down Iowa State over the weekend to grab their sixth win, the Mountaineers feature one of the most potent offenses in the nation with star quarterback Geno Smith at the helm. Despite not being viewed as a Heisman contender like he once was, the 6'3 senior has already racked up 3,597 passing yards and 39 total touchdowns this season after just 11 games.</p>
<p><b>When:</b> Saturday, Dec. 1</p>
<p><b>Where:</b> Mountaineer Field, Morgantown, WV</p>
<p><b>Game time:</b> 1:30 p.m. CT</p>
<p><b>TV channel</b>: n/a</p>
<p><b><a href="http://www.oddsshark.com/ncaaf/kansas-west-virginia-odds-december-1-2012">Spread</a>:</b> Kansas +20</p>

<p>Kansas looks to close 2012 with its second win of the season.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/kansas-jayhawks">Kansas Jayhawks</a> don't really have much on the line Saturday when they close their football season against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/west-virginia-mountaineers">West Virginia Mountaineers</a>. But, as head coach Charlie Weis said Tuesday <a href="http://www.kuathletics.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/112712aac.html" target="_blank">at his weekly press conference</a>, a win would be a big boost psychologically for the players coming back next season.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"If you win the game, just the psychological lift would be, more than anything else, the benefit. Sometimes these guys play with that burden, the weight on your shoulders that would be lifted, and then okay, let's go, let's move on. There are still things that have been left unanswered that, until you answer them, they are going to be question marks psychologically. I think that the framework will already be different and will already be more positive, but still until they do it, they still have not done it."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Jayhawks have been a huge disappointment in 2012, their first season under Weis. At 1-10, Kansas is the only team in the Big 12 that has failed to earn bowl eligibility. They've yet to win a game in conference, but the Jayhawks can salvage that dubious mark with a win over the likely-bowl-bound Mountaineers on Saturday.</p>
<p>Weis said getting another win, especially one to close the season, would be nice, but the difference between one win and two wins won't have much of an impact on recruiting:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"The best year I ever had recruiting in the past was after the worst season, because more guys see an opportunity to play earlier. They all want to play. Yeah, they all want to play."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Kansas Jayhawks and West Virginia Mountaineers kick off at 1:30 p.m. CT on Saturday in Morgantown, W.V.</p>

<p>The Jayhawks have lost 10 straight after winning its season opener.</p> <p>Prior to a 31-24 win against Iowa State, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/west-virginia-mountaineers">West Virginia Mountaineers</a> were on a five-game skid that ruined what initially looked like a season that could end with national title hopes. Despite the mammoth collapse, the Mountaineers are still 20-point favorites against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/kansas-jayhawks">Kansas Jayhawks</a> for Saturday's game.</p>
<p>Kansas is on a losing streak of its own, with 10 consecutive losses after winning in the season opener. Far from bowl eligible, the rough season for the Jayhawks will finally come to an end on Saturday in what bettors expect to be a blowout in favor of the Mountaineers.</p>
<p>With a 6-5 overall record, West Virginia is bowl eligible, but the bowl is still undecided. While the Mountaineers are far from contention for a BCS Bowl, the team can still earn a spot in a a bowl like the Meineke Car Care Bowl or Pinstripe Bowl, while a loss would likely relegate the team to the Heart of Dallas Bowl.</p>
