2. Will Grier finishes with more touchdowns than interceptions

Former Big 12 quarterback and Heisman winner Robert Griffin III was the king of finishing games with more touchdowns than incompletions and Will Grier will follow the Baylor great’s footsteps and have himself quite the game against the Wildcats, throwing five touchdown passes with only four incompletions.

In the Mountaineers’ last game against Youngstown State, he nearly accomplished this feat with five incompletions and four touchdowns, but he’ll finish the job in Week 4.

Grier is one of the Heisman favorites for the 2018 season and his numbers are only going to improve in Big 12 play as the conference isn’t exactly known for its defense. He has 761 yards, nine touchdowns and only one interception with a 76 percent completion rate and he’ll surpass the 1,000-yard mark in game three with 14 touchdowns and only one pick.

Expect him to catapult to the No. 1 spot in the Heisman race after the bout with Kansas State as he’ll make the Wildcats look silly all afternoon.
