COMMENTARY

LANDOVER, Md. — Some of his teammates played it cool this week, shrugging off FedEx Field as just another stadium.

Rasul Douglas couldn’t be so nonchalant.

Through the first 10 minutes of warmups he walked the grounds wide-eyed and aghast, a tourist in thigh pads.

“It felt like I was in another world,” beamed Douglas, who celebrated his first game in an NFL stadium by scoring his first touchdown in a West Virginia uniform, a pick-six that proved essential to beating BYU 35-32.

Now comes another world for the Mountaineers — the onset of Big 12 play.
