Defensive penalties won’t slow Mountaineers passing attack

Other teams, like TCU and Texas Tech, have taken to drawing pass interference penalties when playing the Mountaineers. The 15-yard penalty that ends up being called might be better than a long gain of 30-plus yards that Will Grier and his receivers routinely record.

In a recent article on WVUsports.com, Director of Digital Media John Antonik points out that in the past three games, 10 pass interference penalties have been called against the Mountaineers’ opponents. Kansas, TCU and Texas Tech have been penalized more in those three games than some teams are penalized for an entire season, Antonik points out.
