Giving up 48 points to Utah on Saturday, there was not much going right for the WVU football defense. But there was one bright spot – the performance of a young defensive back that had not received a lot of snaps throughout the first three games, but made a big impact on Saturday as he got some significant playing time.
Cornerback Nick Talyor was one of the few bright spots on the WVU defense on Saturday. The Appalachian State transfer finished the game with eight total tackles (four solo tackles) and one interception on Saturday. Taylor also had a hit on Utah running back Wayshawn Parker that was heard clearly and loudly on the broadcast, and even got the attention from Baylor legend Robert Griffin III, one of the Fox commentators.
