The shorthand football lingo for pass blocking is “pass pro,” as in pass protection.
For the first two games of West Virginia’s 2018 season, starting left tackle Yodny Cajuste and right tackle Connor McKivitz have looked like pass-pro pros.
Keeping quarterback Will Grier upright is crucial to achieving the twin goals of getting the Mountaineers to the Big 12 title game and getting Grier to New York City for the Heisman Trophy ceremony, and thus far WVU’s bookends have allowed both to remain plausible.
Grier has been sacked three times this season, but the film shows that none of them can be attributed to his tackles.
