COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It looks so obvious, so impending, that TV analysts can circle David Sills on the monitor and warn defenders, “THEY’RE THROWING IT TO HIM!”
Knowing it and stopping it are different tasks.
Three times against Kansas State last week, Sills split wide on the goal line, and three times he collected 1-yard touchdown catches. A different K-State cornerback played the victim on each, the kind of equal-opportunity cruelty Sills can impose — especially with a passer like Will Grier making the throws.
All three of those scores highlighted the nuances that make a situationally complex moment look so pitch-and-catch simple.
