MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Youngstown State coach Bo Pelini succeeded at one bit of strategy against West Virginia last Saturday: He kept the ball away from preseason All-American receiver David Sills by any means necessary.
The Penguins employed all available resources to prevent Will Grier from going to his go-to guy, holding Sills to two receptions for 33 yards.
Wherever Sills went Saturday, there were two Penguins nearby, either double-teaming him or blanketing him in bracket coverage.
“It was kind of new for me,” Sills said. “But that just makes me have to go into practice harder to know how to beat brackets and double-teams.
