MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — After the euphoria comes the work.
West Virginia still controls its destiny to reach the Big 12 championship game, but that control will be relinquished if the Mountaineers (7-1, 5-1 Big 12) fail to take care of business against TCU on Saturday. While injuries and a significant suspension have left the Horned Frogs (4-5, 2-4) a shell of the team that entered the year poised to return to the Big 12 title game, West Virginia’s veterans have seen enough to know they still pose a threat.
Mountaineers quarterback Will Grier says that a Gary Patterson-constructed defense will always make life difficult.
