Is there a new PA guy for this season, or was that perhaps one of the coaches calling out touchdowns and such?

to judge the defense when Denard is in there in this situation.
The QB's are NOT live, but are eligible to run for the score. We know that this defense will need to get to the QB to disrupt the passing game. When the QB's aren't live, though, the QB doesn't have to worry about taking the hit. Now, a slower QB can still be sacked with a touch, but a fast QB like him, it's just not fair when it's not live because the pass rusher can't go full speed.
Everybody looking good! Man, I'm hungry to see the maize and blue hitting on somebody they DON'T like for a change!
Edit: One thing I did see was Forcier really doing a NICE job concealing the handoff, which was something we've been missing. In the WVU heyday, part of the reasons the QB runs were so successful wasn't just the speed, but the fact that half the time nobody on the defense, in the stands, on the camera crew, or even at home had any idea who had the football right after the hand-off. Your QB can be as fast as you want, but if you can't conceal the hand-off, it's not going to help much.
Does anybody know if Forcier was the only guy doing a good job on that? He's the only one I SAW doing it, but with only 3-4 snaps per guy, how could you tell, really?
