If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s the West Virginia Mountaineers finding the most creative way to rip your heart out. This time it came in the form of two Will Grier fumbles that were recovered by the Oklahoma Sooners and returned for touchdowns.
Those two touchdowns are what gave the Sooners the winning score, but it was a chickenshit defensive call by defensive coordinator Tony Gibson that allowed Oklahoma to escape Morgantown with that score intact. On 4th and 5, with just over two minutes left in the game, Gibson called a play that saw the Mountaineers only rush their three defensive linemen, allowing Kyler Murray to scramble around until he found a receiver on the left side of the field for the first down.
