COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — With two 100-yard receivers and another bushel of touchdown catches, you expected West Virginia assistant Tyron Carrier to emerge mostly satisfied with his unit’s output from Week 1.
Then again, Carrier was born to nitpick.
“It’s a tough world,” he said.
Carrier remains notoriously strict with his postgame grades, spotting missteps and identifying technique glitches. He combs through film hawk-eyed and meticuloys, squashing excuses like mosquitos. Only a few years removed from actually playing the position himself, Carrier thinks he could be All-Big 12 if he had eligibility left, and thus, he pushes his guys toward lofty standards.
