MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A de-emphasized passing game doesn’t lay completely on the shoulders of Skyler Howard, though the doubters became more vocal after West Virginia’s quarterback completed only 48 percent of his throws through five Big 12 games.
Though he attempted only 12 passes Saturday, Howard made them count—with 10 completions for 122 yards and two scores in a 38-20 victory over Texas.
Say what you will about the conjecture that aliens abducted the real Dana Holgorsen, but the guy calling plays on West Virginia’s sideline coach understands what Howard can and can’t do given the current conditions.
