2. Will Grier is not perfect

Entering the season, we expected Will Grier to take the West Virginia passing attack to the next level. So far, he is doing just that. Grier totaled four touchdowns on nearly 400 total yards last weekend.

However, after two huge performances against Delaware State and East Carolina, we did see Grier come back to earth. Eight of Grier’s 13 passing touchdowns on the season came against ECU and Delaware State. Only two came from the Kansas game.

Grier will get his biggest test of the year in two weeks against a strong TCU defense. That TCU defense just shut down one of the most productive quarterbacks in the country in Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph.

Not only can Grier continue to rely on the versatility of the offense that he commands, he can also show the Frogs why few defenses have been able to stop the Mountaineers. He will have to limit the interceptions thrown, though.
