COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Will Grier’s bounce-pass might’ve made Pittsnogle proud, but it only made Jake Spavital uneasy.
And the uneasiness continued, A shotgun snap caught the QB unaware, and then two more Grier fumbles in the span of three plays, and then Gary Jennings contracted fumble fever, and then Grier forced a third-and-long interception.
And then?
Well, then West Virginia went into halftime leading by 35 points.
These pay-to-filet games against FCS teams are so patently uneven it’s difficult to keep score based on, well, the score. You’re forced to make allowances, grade on a curve, and factor in the competition’s handicap.
