A handful of questions as we head into the heartland of corn syrup and ethanol for No. 6 West Virginia’s game at Iowa State:
Was that a one-game slump for Will Grier?
Those three touchdown-erasing interceptions against Kansas had Grier supremely rattled. Like Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises,” Grier kept starting drives in scintillating fashion only to screw up the endings. (I’ll also accept a reference to “The Village” here.)
It’s hard to seriously digest the coaching excuse that the Jayhawks’ defense confused Grier by being so multiple — after all, that’s what every defense does, and most across the Big 12 do so with better talent than Kansas.
