In Morgantown and our defense is pretty banged up. I'm a little worried WVU is going to be able to control the game on the ground. I had this one and at Utah as our 2 toughest conf games so if they can go in and win this one that would be amazing!

I'll admit when Green went down against Oky State I pumped my fist and wished ill will on him.

I predicted this as a loss going into the season. Win this one along with winning the Iowa perennial tossup, and this thing may not stop rolling.

This has already been an awesome season, but holy **** ballz if they can pull it off Saturday, 10-0 is absolutely possible

Eastern IA -> Raleigh, NC -> Madison, WI
If not for missing

Willich
McLaughlin
Klosterman
Bacon

And possible injuries to

Porter
Orange
Singleton
Brezina



I would be really confident in this game....with all these injuries I say I'd put my internal line ISU +3.5

If we start off like a bunch of jackasses we will lose. If we start ok we should win easily.

WVU doesn’t remotely have a good enough defense to “control the game on the ground”. Twelfth in the conference. Both total and scoring.

Far more likely they have to abandon the running game to play catchup. Which would fall right into Heacock’s sights.

I had predictions this would be a really good season but no way could I have predicted we’d be staring down the barrel of 6-0 as a realistic aspiration

I'm not worried about our offense against their defense. They have a good rushing attack and a good running QB. Only way I seem them winning is controlling the ball with their rushing attack and keeping our offense of the field and wearing down our defense

Any parking recommendations for the game in Morgantown? Don't need to be a tailgate lot.

I think ISu wins. it has the better coach, and a much better secondary.
WVU is pretty stout in the trenches. PSU couldnt just line up and run it down WVU's throat--of course they didnt have to bc WVU's 2ndary is likely worst in the big 12.

I think wvu can match ISU everywhere else, but i think ISU has a field day throwing the ball and slows WVU running attack enough to win by 7-10.

of course, WVU somehow, against all odds, beat ISU last time they were in Morgantown, and ISU had the better team.
