COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Winning throws rarely begin with a double-pump of uncertainty, much less those floated 20 yards downfield toward a patch of Bermuda where defenders outnumber receivers three to one.
OK, so Skyler Howard lobbed up an ugly, wishy-washy, early-game interception. Everybody gets a mulligan, especially in a raised-stakes, top-25 environment like Oklahoma provided.
By afternoon’s end, however, his interception total stood at three. A fourth mercifully was expunged by a defensive penalty.
You half-wondered whether Caleb Rowe was contagious.
Howard had overshot Shelton Gibson crossing the middle and undershot him streaking down the sideline.
