The video must have been altered. There’s no other reasonable explanation. The sequence of football movements looked more like a lost scene from The Matrix.
During the infancy of a fourth-quarter blowout on October 17, with Baylor methodically doubling up West Virginia, wideout Corey Coleman caught an unassuming eight-yard curl. At first glance, it looked like a modest gain in a game that was already determined.
Instead of ducking out of bounds and avoiding contact in a game that demanded nothing more of him, Coleman turned up field. He transformed an eight-yard pass into a physics-defying 30-yard gain, making two Mountaineers defenders hug air as they struggled to bring him down.
