The Mountaineers faced just that this afternoon in Morgantown, but still escaped with a 38-22 win over the Jayhawks. Will Grier threw three interceptions at the goal line and fumbled the ball once in a game in which he still completed 68% of his passes for 332 yards and 4 touchdowns. We can talk about Will having bad games, but it’s bordering on first-world problems because he’s still putting up elite numbers.
The Jayhawks had a fourth INT in the third quarter on a play that was ruled an incomplete pass on the field, but for some reason the referees didn’t see what everyone at home saw - that the ball never touched the ground - and the Mountaineers went up 28-14 a couple of plays later on the final play of the third quarter, a play that ended up being the back-breaker for Kansas.
