Homecoming results since joining the Big 12 Conference

I know things have been rough for the football program recently, but I'll admit I was shocked to see how long it has been since the Mountaineers won a homecoming game. 2018 was the last time it happened, with Will Grier and the prolific WVU passing attack beating Kansas to improve to 5-0 on the season, which resulted in them jumping up to No. 6 in the country before falling to Iowa State. Since joining the league, West Virginia is just 5-8 in homecoming games.
