MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Will Grier gave West Virginia fans the offensive show they had been waiting more than a year for.
Grier threw five touchdown passes, including three to David Sills, to lead the Mountaineers to a 56-20 victory over East Carolina on Saturday.
"It was unbelievable, man," Grier said. "It was awesome to play out there for the first time. I can't wait to do it again. You can never be unhappy with a win for Mountaineer nation."
Grier has infused some excitement into a program that was coming off 10 wins from a year ago but lost quarterback Skyler Howard to graduation and wasn't expected to compete for a Big 12 title in 2017.
