COLUMBIA, Mo. — West Virginia defensive coordinator Vic Koenning isn’t claiming that he favors the DC Comics Universe over Marvel, but he compared his unit’s efforts against Missouri quarterback Kelly Bryant to Ant-Man, while the grad transfer from Missouri was more like DC’s most iconic superhero.
“It seemed like he was Superman and we were Ant-Man,” Koenning said.
The reason Koenning thinks Bryant is like the Man of Steel is because the WVU defense couldn’t stop Bryant’s arm or legs. In fact, the only thing that slowed Bryant on Saturday was the heat in the fourth quarter that forced him out the remainder of the game, but at that point, it was already 31-0 Tigers.
