The highest-graded players from West Virginia's win over Texas, 42-41

This highest-graded players recap is brought to you by Eckrich, the Official Smoked Sausage of the College Football Playoff.

The West Virginia Mountaineers pulled off an incredible 42-41 victory over Texas on Saturday afternoon. When it mattered most, quarterback Will Grier uncorked yet another perfectly thrown deep ball, and he followed it up with a perfectly-called two-point conversion to seal the game.
