MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The throw-and-catch headliners, Will Grier and David Sills, give West Virginia its preseason cred. Within their Appalachia-sized shadows, lurks Kennedy McKoy, who contends a supporting cast of running backs could emerge as scene-stealers.
“People like to talk about Will and David, which is all good and we’re fine with it, but we intend to be the strongest, most relentless group on this team,” McKoy said Monday. “The talent in that running backs room is just amazing.”
WVU’s ground game didn’t approach amazing last season, ranking 69th nationally in yards per carry at 4.
