MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Considering how Shelton Gibson’s speed gives FBS secondaries the willies, you can imagine what trepidation Youngstown State’s safeties faced Saturday.
Those fears crystallized when the West Virginia receiver detonated for 171 yards on six catches, sparking the slow-starting Mountaineers to a 38-21 victory.
That was quite a turnaround from Week 1 when Gibson’s six catches against Missouri produced only 39 yards.
“Last week vs. Missouri wasn’t really that frustrating,” he said. “I know we have a lot of a games, and I understood the way they were playing us. As long as we’re winning, that’s all that matters.
