Garret Greene is an exciting football player. He brings a toughness, swagger and energy to the West Virginia Mountaineers they haven’t had in years and he brings an electricity that the Mountaineers haven’t felt in a decade. The last time the Mountaineers had a player of Greene’s caliber was Pat White, the G.O.A.T of Mountaineer quarterbacks who went 4-0 in bowl games as a starter plus won the Senior Bowl. Fans were excited and downright giddy to watch the young freshman enter the game Saturday and see what he could do.
What we saw, however, is that Greene, while exciting and electric, also presents a conundrum for head coach Neal Brown.
