LUBBOCK, Texas – A different receiver seemingly steps up as West Virginia’s primary scoring weapon each week. But for the last three games, only one has consistently served as Will Grier’s go-to deep ball threat.
Junior Marcus Simms recorded his third consecutive 100-yard performance in West Virginia’s 42-34 win at Texas Tech. He finished with a game-high nine catches for 138 yards, including a 45-yard strike that put the Mountaineers up 21-0 in the first quarter. It’s the third straight week Simms has set a new single-game career high for yardage.
Simms isn’t exactly doing it against soft zone defenses, either.
