COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — There’s a breathlessness to Will Grier’s game, fully appreciable even after six quarters of action.
The deep chucks, the sidearm flips and all targets in between. If it exists on a route tree, he can peg it. Yes, West Virginia has itself a bona-fide, game-shaping quarterback. The staff realized this last season. Now our own eyes have confirmed it.
Opposing coach Scottie Montgomery didn’t want to believe his eyes on Saturday. “Unbelievable throws” was his feedback after Grier waved a lightsaber through East Carolina’s defense.
Those 352 yards accumulated on just 25 passes, a ludicrous 14 yards per attempt.
