Sagarin's standard numbers have ISU with a 58% win chance.

Sagarin's "experimental" numbers - which take into account how teams play home and away, and emphasize recent game performance more - has ISU with a 86% chance to win. Probably because ISU played well at UH, and WV got smoked at home by PSU.

No matter how you slice it, it's a 60/40 game and anything could happen. Go Clones!

I feel like our offense is undervalued because their production hasn't caught up to what they can really do. On the other hand I feel our defense is overvalued because they have feasted on poor offenses.

So our defense is so good they are even dominating other defenses now. Nice!

Must be the sideline intimidation factor with Dom Orange and Heacock's sunglasses.

I think this is the type of game ISU needs to come out aggressive right out of the gate. Heacock likes to start games with a base defense to understand what the offense is trying to attack, then he adjusts and takes that away from the offense. That's great for many games, but not here. ISU needs to make WVU a passing team. The sooner ISU can push to a two score lead, the more pressure WVU will have to abandon the run game. This will be a more difficult game to come back from a 14-3 deficit like they did vs Baylor

So he should stop doing what works so well, got it.

I may be in the minority here but I honestly think the Cyclones are going to go in there and win by 7-10. I’m on the hype train with what I’ve seen with the defense playing well but more importantly the running game really coming alive. Bring it in WVU, going to run all over them I think and grind it out

The full game is up on YT. I feel like ISU has a really good chance so long as they don't get in a hole early. If it's still a close game at half lead or no lead, that's still good.

They've dominated Iowa in the 4th quarter, Houston in the 2nd half, and really Baylor for 2.5 quarters.

Repeating but it's a team with guys that really seem to want to make a play. That's not to say other ISU teams haven't, there just tended to be a trend of flinching in the moment.

It's fun to watch as a fan and that's tough on opponents.

Given WVU’s propensity to run I think we’ll see more PT for Jamo Patton and Drew Sturges if he’s finally cleared to play. Big, physical safeties who are better in the run game than in pass defense. Let those guys attack in run support. Then put Cooper and Verdon back in on 2nd and 3rd and long. We’ve seen that already and I expect to see more of it in this game.
