Kennedy McKoy getting in the zone, now tied for team lead in rushing touchdowns

MORGANTOWN — When Kennedy McKoy tumbled across the goal line to cap an 8-yard run, he presumably scored his second touchdown against TCU.

“I actually thought I got in,” he said, “but I saw the ref running in to spot it at the 1. So I was like, ‘Yeah, let me get that one more time.’ And Spav ran the same play again.”

The repeat call suited offensive coordinator Jake Spavital, who saw McKoy was hungry to finish the drive.

“Kennedy’s looking at me and slapping his chest, so I’m like, ‘Shoot yeah, I’m going to give him the ball,’ ” Spavital said.

In true committee-style, McKoy matched Martell Pettaway and Leddie Brown for the team lead with four touchdowns apiece.
