AMES, IOWA — Another weekend and another quarterback query for No. 6 West Virginia (5-0, 3-0 Big 12) as it travels to Ames, Iowa, to take on the Cyclones from Iowa State (2-3, 1-2). “We will be continuously watching for the next 12 hours,” WVU coach Dana Holgorsen said of ISU’s ...
MORGANTOWN — The life of an offensive lineman isn’t easy no matter what school you call home. But, when you are playing for the No 6 ranked team in the country and charged with protecting that school’s Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback, that life is magnified. “You just have to take your breaks on the sideline as you get them, drink some water, that type of thing,” redshirt offensive lineman Josh Sills explained. “You have to control your breathing.” Sills and the rest of West Virginia’s offensive front will have their work cut out for them when they take to ...
