West Virginia’s quick defense of QB Austin Kendall is right move

COMMENTARY

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Saturday evening, West Virginia’s coach became Double-Down Neal Brown.

Following the Mountaineers’ 42-31 loss to Texas, Brown was quick to defend quarterback Austin Kendall following a four-interception performance that was absolutely dreadful upon first glance.

“You all are going to want to talk about those interceptions, but that’s the best game he’s played without watching it on tape,” Brown said. “The first interception he threw was his fault. He read the wrong guy. The next three, two of them were in the receivers’ hands, and the third one we had the wrong route.
