MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Distinguishing between Baylor’s offense and West Virginia’s (a distinction drawn rather noticeably by Saturday’s 62-38 final), coach Dana Holgorsen said the Bears have developed receivers while WVU’s are developing.
“No. 1 for us is getting really close,” Holgorsen said of sophomore Shelton Gibson, who caught a 70-yard touchdown on the Mountaineers’ first series and ranks fourth in the Big 12 at 90 yards per game. “He just needs to bring the others along too.”
West Virginia now features a pair of true freshmen at the opposite wideout, including David Sills, who was signed last February as a quarterback.
