COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Devin Williams issued the prediction 11 days ago, soaking up a victory in Ames while Jonathan Holton sat exiled back in Morgantown.
“When we get Jon back it’s going to be spooky, real spooky.”
TCU certainly looked spooked Saturday, both by Holton’s re-emergence and West Virginia’s frightening defensive assault on the notion of Big 12 parity. Were this a caucus, CNN would’ve projected Saturday’s winner long before the Mountaineers football players made a halftime cameo to flash their Cactus Bowl hardware.
Holton pinged and pounced and darted around, just as Williams predicted, happy to be unleashed after a four-game suspension in which his primary energy-burning outlet was the weight room and the treadmill.
