Good thing we didn’t lose to Louisville.

WVU has a solid defense but when I've watched them nobody has really stood out as a game changer. I would say Stills is probably the closest thing they have on that side of the ball. Offensively I think Doege is pretty pedestrian so if we can limit the run we should be in good shape
Line's now under 7 (6/6.5) the world thinks we'll come out tight, so there is legitimate reason for concern. My rosey glasses see a blowout but that doesn't necessarily make it true.
WV will be pumped up for this game. we need to get that killer instinct and let Brock run when nothing is there. he adds a whole different dimension to this offense when he can run. defense just keep doing what you do. bend but don't break. Thank you Seniors !
I think it's completely fair to be cautious, considering all of the factors leading up to this game. Emotional road win last week, while WVU has had weeks of physical/mental rest. Senior Day. More pressure to win another big game. The ISU fanbase still dealing with that decades of heartbreak.
WVU is not a scrub team. We will need to play decent to win. People forgot how a few plays can really swing a game. What if our defense starts allowing all TD's instead of forcing FG's? What if we turn it over as we are about to score, or give up a couple long TD bombs. You hope we come out and play how we are capable, but you never know for sure.
WVU defense is really good, but the ISU offense is also the best they will see so far. It will definitely be a battle
That attention has opened things up for Iowa State's "blocking Tight End". I know Soehner is much more than that, but that was the perception of many before the season started. People don't expect a guy who is 6'7", 270+ to be able to get down field, get open and make sure catches - to say nothing about throwing a good ball.
