Bob Hertzel came up with the same conclusion that I expressed here earlier:
Marcus Simms' two misadventures that led to his suspension cost WVU the Virginia Tech game.
WVU lost because of special teams against the Hokies, clear and simple, even though the game went down to the wire.
Against East Carolina, Simms showed how valuable he would have been in that category by returning 2 kickoffs for 61 yards, a punt for 23 yards and added a pass catch for 52 yards. That's 136 yards WVU could have used against the Hokies. It would have made the difference between victory and defeat.
It should be a stark enough lesson to keep Simms on the straight and narrow for the rest of the season. And maybe lead WVU to an outstanding season. His speed is astounding.
