COMMENTARY
AMES, Iowa — A tickle in the throat. That first labored breath of nasal stuffiness. An achy twinge. All warnings to a body of what’s in store.
For two weeks we saw the symptoms facing West Virginia’s offense, and yet we ignored them, believing it was too skilled, too talented, too versatile to flounder.
Can’t ignore them anymore, not after Will Grier and his unit took the mother of all sick days in a 30-14 loss to Iowa State.
One offensive score. One!
Seven sacks. Seven!
Zero drives that exceeded five plays.
