ORLANDO, Fla. – Sometimes, life is all about the long game.
When West Virginia all-American left tackle Yodny Cajuste was ejected on a questionable call in the first quarter of the Texas game, it seemed like a potential disaster for the Mountaineers. Instead, substitute Kelby Wickline more than held up to the task, picking up valuable experience while West Virginia picked up the win.
The Mountaineers will no doubt be thankful for Wickline’s Texas experience this week. He’ll be making the start against Syracuse in the Camping World Bowl with Yodny Cajuste sitting the game out.
