MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Fans and pundits will continue debating West Virginia quarterback Will Grier’s decision to sit out the Camping World Bowl, but at this point that’s of no matter to the Mountaineers themselves.
The future is now, and it is in the hands of backup-turned-presumptive starter Jack Allison. The 6-foot-6 sophomore from Palmetto, Fla. is expected to make his first collegiate start against Syracuse just two hours up the highway from his hometown in Orlando.
West Virginia fans don’t exactly know what they are getting in to with Allison, who sat out last season after transferring from Miami and has a grand total of 10 passing attempts in his career.
