Ivan McCartney, he of the neat little nickname “Sticks,” is already out in front of his partnership with poetic Tavon Austin. He likens McCartney and Austin to Batman and Robin and says it’s already been decided.

I have to respectfully disagree — but that’s a good thing for West Virginia.

McCartney, who is a  sophomore from Florida’s Miramar High, can remain Batman, but Austin is Bruce Wayne. He’s been unmasked and the opposition knows his capabilities after two seasons and 73 receptions for 938 yards and nine touchdowns.

“When I go out there, a lot of teams haven’t seen Ivan yet,” said Austin, a junior from Baltimore who last season caught 58 balls for team-high totals of 787 yards and eight scores.

“I know a lot of teams will probably key on me, but that opens up Ivan. As soon as they see Ivan play, they won’t be able to double me and that’s going to open things up for everyone.”

That’s the designed danger of first-year coordinator Dana Holgorsen’s offense.
