***OFFICIAL: WEST VIRGINIA @ IOWA STATE GAME(DAY) THREAD***

The defense is just as bad as the offense.

[Hugs4ISU]

Gonna suck if we lose twice today.

[xboxfever]

Geno Smith with all day to throw on every pass play.

[marothisu]

Here comes WVU now that Smith won't overthrow the ball.

[Hugs4ISU]

The "bend but not break" defense just broke.

[marothisu]

My prediction: Messingham will be too afraid to throw the ball because of the wind, even though WVU has bad pass defense. Smith will throw all day on us in the 2nd and 4th quarters.

poor effort all around by the d there.

[KFitzy87]

Anyone else think we need a few quick WR screens to get Richardson going and to open up the run?

[Yellow Snow]

Won't matter what Mess calls if they keep gashing our defense. That series was pretty weak sauce.

A new offensive coordinator would be better.

[SWCy13]

How our receivers aren't getting open against this god awful secondary is beyond me.

[KFitzy87]

A new offensive coordinator would be better.

I was thinking of more of a short term fix

[cymaniac17]

We're missing 3 starters on a D that has no pass rush and u guys are surprised the D is struggling against arguably the best QB in the country? Lol

Anyone else think we should never ever run the zone read again? I mean, has there been an honest accounting of how many times it works with Iowa State? It has been atrocious this first quarter. I bet you it is close to net lose for year. we won 6 games in spite of it.

Seriously. Shut up.
