Numbers do lie: Why coaches consider TCU game Will Grier’s best

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Statistically speaking, Will Grier’s performance against TCU on Saturday did not jump off the page. Not by the lofty standards he’s established at West Virginia, at any rate.

In terms of completion percentage, it was his second-worst game of the season at 64.1 percent. Measured by quarterback rating, it was his seventh-best performance this year (158.23). Even his total of 343 yards was lower than usual – he’s passed for more yardage in six games this year.

Yet by the measure of his coaches, it was among the best games Grier played at West Virginia.
