MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Faces were understandably long in West Virginia’s locker room following last Thursday’s 17-14 loss at No. 11 Baylor. Within that heartbroken group, perhaps no player felt the weight of the outcome more than redshirt freshman center Briason Mays.
The Mountaineers lost 48 yards on a pair of Mays snaps that went awry, with both miscues tanking potential scoring drives.
“It bothers him. It hurts him. And it should,” said offensive line coach Matt Moore. “If you’re invested, it should hurt. And he is.”
The Mountaineers can’t afford for that hurt to linger.
