Will Grier definitely has issues dealing with pressure.

Getting exposed today

Hard to deal with pressure with you have a crappy OLine that parts like the Red Sea.

It will get worse from him.

Hopefully for WVU your OC and Dana Holgersen figure something out because UT and OU will be on him.
As great as Oklahoma State's D it is a notch below Texas and Oklahoma

Grier had no help from his Oline and very little from his receivers. I counted 6 or 7 very catchable drops and Twice the receiver cut off his route when the ball was thrown to him...the d-back caught it instead....that was two of his four picks...one of the others was when he had less than two seconds to release a pass and a dlineman got his hand on the release and altered the throw. He had very few throws where he had much time. Most QBs would have had a no game in those conditions. We better start looking for some O-Lineman...specifically a center. Oklahoma dwarfed our guys on both sides of the ball. Looked to be a 40lbs per man...pretty clear we were outmanned in the trenches.

From my seat in Section 105 (East side) I saw about 4 or 5 passes, other throws when the receivers weren't even looking for the ball, so that Grier and the receivers were not on the same page much of the day.

Till the Cowboys game, Grier was phenomenal in finding an open receiver in 3 to 5 seconds and hitting others with long passes. He had the best passing percentage in the country for passes 20 yards or longer.

So the Oklahoma State game was an anomaly, not a pattern.

I do agree that Texas and Oklahoma defenses will be tougher. And Iowa State no longer is a gimme. Far from it this season.

We'll see.
