The Will Grier Heisman train may have been placed on a sidetrack for a week as the Kansas defense gave a Herculean effort at West Virginia on Saturday afternoon. As is all too familiar to Kansas fans, unfortunately the offense didn’t help.
Like, at all.
Grier’s final line doesn’t look all that terrible: 28-41, 332 yards, 4 TD, 3 INT. But the Heisman hopeful also fumbled once, was sacked five times, and was continually harrassed by Jayhawk defenders. All three INTs came in the red zone and in the first half.
KU also had 10 TFL against a West Virginia team that had only allowed 14 TFL in their first four games of the season combined.
