Preview/Prediction: Iowa State @ West Virginia

Clearly, Grant had a good game against Kansas, and we're all hoping he can build on that against WVU and carry some momentum into the offseason. But I disagree with the following statements.
I think that's a bit of revisionist history that fits a convenient storyline, because I don't see much in the numbers below that suggest he's clearly gotten better with each game. In fact, as recently as the OU game we all witnessed him throwing a couple of the ugliest INTs we've seen in recent memory. And our six 2nd half possessions against OU resulted in 5 punts and an INT, while converting just one 3rd down.
BU: 8-13 65yds 1INT 1TD
OSU: 12-23 97yds 0INT 1TD
KSU: 11-24 88yds 2INT 0TD
TCU: 18-39 148yds 0INT 0TD
OU: 21-34 179yds 2INT 0TD
KU: 15-20 300yds 1INT 2TD
There may be some intangibles that suggest he's making that game-to-game progress, but those are hard to put a finger on. Clear progress is measured by on-field production, which has been hit or miss until the KU game. Let's hope those performances happen more frequently and Grant has a better fate than his three predecessors at the position.
