I am worried about the WVU, TTU, and Cincy games. They will not be gimmies and will be just as intense and close as the Baylor game was in the 1st half.
Not me, I've fully drunk the kool-aid! WVU/TTU/CIN (you're really worried about Cinci? Come on now) don't have Rocco Becht, two NFL receivers, and the Big Citrus!!

Iowa State wore the Bears out in the 2nd half- much the same way the Cyclones wore down the Cougars. Depth and conditioning coupled with a never quit.
I think competitive endurance may have been bigger than physical endurance.

They're not wrong in saying that the WVU game will be the hardest one left this year. We take the Baylor game to Morgantown it's a loss.
No game is a win and no game is a loss until they're played. One thing I really like about this team is the resilience. If we get down on the scoreboard or a player goes down, we just keep playing

After 5 games the team is what it is. They aren't an explosive team. They take some time to get momentum. But once it gets going down hill they are hard to stop.

I think they're capable of closing out some of these earlier drives but are definitely one that takes some time to really establish things.

Give me a stronger, dominant 2nd half any day of the week.

Was at the game. I have always wished for ISU to be a more physical team.

Well ISU beat the **** out of the Bears and it started with our ball carriers. By the middle of the 3rd Quarter, their secondary wanted absolutely nothing to do with tackling us. I think Jackson even trucked somebody. It was glorious.

Hope the guy is alright but one of their DBs got lit up (I think by Higgins) and didn't know which century he was in. He got up heading over to our sidelines.

I can see why our guys are dinged up if they are playing this way in practice.

Pretty sure practice is rarely if ever full on tackling especially this far into the season and 1/2s face scout teams, not one another.

Since the offense doesn't have the injury bug I'm chalking it up to bad luck. Like Orange's injury was a weird pile up.

Benzina (SP?) looked like something tweaked when he was in pursuit without contact.

Went looking for a full game replay on YouTube, found some extended highlights. Something seemed off…and after a minute or two, I realized what.

They colorized the crowd and the cheerleaders. All now wearing red and scatteredyellow. What the heck?!!

Stopped watching right there. The whiteout deserves better.

I'm glad WV has been impressive at times.

No room for surprises next week.
