Ok first off, that was unbelievable. The Jack was absolutely electric tonight. Tonight might have been the loudest I’ve heard the “Let’s go State” chant at a football game and the thing with the flashlights was really really cool.

Only thing I’m curious about is if anyone here thought WV was faking injuries again? There were multiple times a player went down with little to no (#2 on their defense) contact or involvement

They just show up on someone’s schedule week after week and quietly dismantle their opponents. You barely even hear anything about them all year and then that one week you have them on the schedule you’re looking past them. Randy Pete has an article up already talking about how it’s a major trap week for us.

They definitely seemed like they were faking it, but I think #2 was the guy that rolled up his ankle or knee toward the end, right? That dude is going to be out for at least a few weeks.

They had some weird ones, but I don't think they were faking. We weren't in any rush, and it looked like both sides were having trouble keeping their footing. A lot of weird slips.

It may have been him again but the one that really stood out was towards the beginning of the game when he didn’t even get touched by Kolar after a catch I think and he was “hurt”. The guy at the end of the game did get carted off so that one was real

how many yards did Greir give up in sacks? He was 10 rushes for -33 yards, so I am guessing over 50 yards.
I don't watch a lot of other teams play & haven't seen much of Grier, but for all the hype, I was shocked at some of his boneheaded plays. He took at least 3 sacks that he could have easily just thrown away. A Heisman hopeful doesn't repeatedly make that mistake.

Proof that normal human legs can’t do what David Montgomery can do with his.

The announcers even said before the game started that one of the few knocks on him is he throws some stupid interceptions sometimes, so I’m not overly surprised. Probably has a little Brett Favre in him.

I'd like to know if ISU was giving looks that just simply had him baffled.

Wish they could show length-ways angles.
