COMMENTARY
LANDOVER, Md. — With months invested into a game that frittered away during the waning seconds, West Virginia resorted to finger-pointing.
Only this was self-blame.
David Sills spoke in a confessional whisper about dropping what could’ve been his third touchdown catch on the penultimate play.
Quarterback Will Grier lamented zipping the throw too low.
Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson faulted his ill-timed blitz for a 46-yard quarterback dash that Josh Jackson used to set up Virginia Tech’s go-ahead score.
Linebacker Al-Rasheed Benton acquitted Gibby for the blitz call by saying the defense should’ve executed nonetheless.
