Marcus Simms showcased his speed and sure hands last week as the Mountaineers dismantled East Carolina, 56-20, in the home opener at Milan Puskar Stadium.
He had just one catch against ECU, but it was a dandy. He caught a pass from 52 yards out from quarterback Will Grier and went into the end zone for a touchdown. The score put the Mountaineers up, 28-3, early in the second quarter.
Simms would have had some more touches, but it really wasn’t necessary. Will Grier was on top of his game once again and completed 24 total passes.
