COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Senior-week nostalgia abounds at West Virginia, with 20 of them preparing to play their final home game at Mountaineer Field. Because that collection includes 16 players with starting experience, this will be a substantial sendoff.
They range from the quiet type (Nick Kwiatkoski has 282 career tackles and not one memorable quote) to the FBS leader in words-per-minute (K.J. Dillon got flagged for trash-talking on the opening kickoff of the season). And like past WVU senior classes, most came from everywhere but here.
When offensive lineman Marquis Lucas feared “climate change” in 2011, he wasn’t talking about CO2 emissions but rather the move from Miami to Morgantown.
