MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Josh Norwood’s West Virginia career was bound to end on some act of reckless abandon.
Given his ejection from two games this season for committing targeting, a repeat violation was the most likely suspect for the senior safety. As it turned out, the only player at risk on his final play was Norwood himself.
On the most extraordinary piece of playmaking by a West Virginia defender this season, Norwood seemingly came out of nowhere, flying through the air to pick off a Skylar Thompson pass in the second quarter of West Virginia’s 24-20 win at Kansas State.
