MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — No one is coming out and saying it outright, but the subtext was strong in comments from West Virginia coach Neal Brown and some Mountaineers players indicating a possibility that redshirt freshman quarterback Trey Lowe will get the start at Oklahoma on Saturday.
Starter Austin Kendall is still considered questionable, and Brown said the junior won’t start unless he is “100 percent” by Saturday. Kendall injured a muscle in his chest when he was hit on a blitz against Iowa State, missing the majority of the game.
Jack Allison played the rest of the way against the Cyclones, but Brown didn’t fully commit to him as the starter against the Sooners.
