Will Grier has made the decision to focus on the NFL Draft and forego his final game for the West Virginia Mountaineers. Many fans are upset with the idea of a player not playing in a game. I’m not here to tell you how you should feel (hint: support the player’s decision) but I will tell you how this decision is actually better for West Virginia in the long run.
With Will Grier starting, the Mountaineers were favored by as much as a touchdown against their Camping World Bowl opponents, the Syracuse Orange.
