Sophomore QB shows poise, maturity in directing Herd offense

By Doug Smock

HUNTINGTON - Like any good pass-catcher in a "red zone" play, Eric Frohnapfel looked for an opening, prepared to catch a football suddenly coming his way.

The Marshall tight end was prepared, yes, but he wasn't expectant. He was heading to the left side of the back of the end zone; quarterback Rakeem Cato was flushed out and heading down the right side.

And then came the football. It was a pass properly destined for a 6-foot-6 target who had to jump to get it. Nobody wearing a blue West Virginia jersey was going to reach it.

"It was a 'go' play and it was 'trips' [formation], so I had to get to the other side of the field," Frohnapfel said. "When I started running the route I was thinking, 'Ah, you know, this ball's not coming to me.' And then Cato started rolling out and I turned around and realized I was wide open, nobody was around me. I was thinking, 'I hope he looks this way.'
