*** Official #11 IOWA STATE vs West Virginia Game(Day) Thread ***

I think it will come down to which QB makes the fewest mistakes. ISU has 3 DBs in Cooper, Porter and Williams who can go up and take it away. I like our chances when those guys are in there.

 

[CycloneErik]

Whaddya think, @CycloneErik? Might as well?

Might as well go ahead and win it.

Milan Puskar stadium was built based on Jack Trice. Therefore there is no home team advantage. ISU by 7.

 

[Cupped]

We CAN have nice things! Cyclones 20-17 OT.

 

[NWICY]

Do we hate WVU? Cause several national talking heads this week said these 2 teams hate each other. I was like, huh, I’m supposed to hate them? I think it’s just the media trying to create a rivalry.

Anyway, I’m going to put my bet on ISU 45 WVU 23

I think we roll

Ha! The fan bases get along great and we both call this game the Riot Bowl, which I guess if you don't realize it isn't named about fb you might think that, so I could see how national people could get it wrong.

 

[NWICY]

Thanks Rulzzz! GO STATE!! Beat the Neers!!!

I see this morning that Utah had their hyped quarterback return but ultimately has chosen not to contend for the truckstop league championship. Even more for ISU to play for!

Anybody out tailgating yet? My friends aren’t going to be here until about 4 so we may be wandering around until then. Would be fun to get to see some Cyclone fans.

We are just "unprofessional" fans.

 

[NebrClone]

Not Brando and Gardner again! They are not great. Clones are tho 31-17 good guys

Maybe he will know a few more names this week.

Hope so. Names and numbers

 

[Texbudman]

Hope so. Names and numbers

Having players with the same number on offense and defense really threw them for a loop. Also think they had some number dyslexia as 6&9 (nice) was confusing them.

I just can't see the patchwork defense holding together today. WVU by 10.

 

[nrg4isu]

This is a big one and I think the team knows it and plays like it. 34-30 good guys.

 

[Clone95]

Our defense is not getting enough credit. We’ve been playing with these patchwork LBs since game 1 and have played some good running teams and still have held teams to 10 pts a game and only 1 rushing TD, zero in the red zone. Yards don’t tell the full story. Scoring is still the only objective. Unless you’re North Dakota, just trying not to get blown out.

Just hate Geno Smith and the culture that made him think going after a septuagenerian coach at halftime wasn’t a douche move.

 

[State2015]

It’ll be rowdy in there but it won’t be as loud as kinnick. After Rocco threw that pick in our territory it was one of the loudest stadiums I’ve heard in person. If we can come back from that, we can do anything in Morgantown IMO. If the game is within 1 score at halftime I think the clones cruise

Agreed. And 2 of Baylors TDs were on 4th down I believe
