How can an Iowa State team that has gotten minimal respect and were predicted to be 5th or lower in the B12 be over hyped? Iowa State is amongst the most under hyped teams of the year.
As an Iowa fan I have listened to this guy before, before Iowa vs Iowa St. games. He is the proverbial "homer" with homer glasses and is insufferable to listen to, but. ....... he's pretty spot on with some of the players. That little RB is damn good, quick and hard for defenders to key on due to his small structure. That WR (Noel) is a legit player as well. This is a different team coming from and Iowa Hawk fan. They have solid skill positions and a solid QB along with a salty D. Should be a good one Saturday!
Cyclone fan here, my take is that Iowa State is pretty clearly the more talented team. On a neutral field I’d take us to win in a heartbeat probably by 10+ but that environment scares me particularly at night. If we have a slow start we could be in trouble we shall see.
I thought 5-0 #6WVU was the more talented team on a Saturday night at Ames in October, 2018. However, freshman QB Brock Purdy proved me wrong with that 30-14 upset.
@@fwilliamcony28 I was actually on that Iowa State team. WVU was so talented that year, but I honestly don’t think any team in college was gonna win in Ames that night. Brock just clicked with everything in his first start and that crowd was ballistic all night. Really hoping we don’t see something like the inverse tomorrow night.
My guy said Desmond Reid of Pitt is in the Heisman conversation right now, has 500-600 receiving yards and close to 1,000 rushing yards. At the time this podcast was recorded, Desmond Reid had 322 receiving yards, 374 rushing yards and his Heisman odds were +20,000.
@grantmahoney21 so? Is this some kind of gotcha moment for you? Obviously I read he was on pace for those numbers and misunderstood them to be fact. Pick up a microphone any time you think you could do better.
@@LockedOnWestVirginia Lol what do you mean "so?" You're tossing out inaccurate stats, how do you expect to have any credibility by saying nonsense like that? I pick up a microphone every week, free to tune in to one of our podcasts on the CycloneFanatic Podcast network
Hey man our og colors were black and silver, so definitely more than just , looking cool! Y’all’s coal rush jerseys are tight, sorry yall gotta lose in them! Ha! 😉 best of luck, may the better team win, it’s early!!!
I'm still not sold on us yet & I'm not sold on them yet either. Losing the "ways" we did against Penn & Pitt shoes either were still what we've been or that we just got a slow start out of the gates. The OSU win was nice but they're looking really bad so can't take much from it. Although I'm not sold on them them being an actual top ranked team like they are due to how they've looked & who they've played, I still think Iowa st is a good team. So we'll get to see if we're really heading in the right direction come Saturday. Plus we'll get to see if theyre actually as good as advertised. If they're the real deal @ #11 37-20 IowaSt If we're both as good as we currently look 34-27 coin toss If we're not heading in right direction 3?-13 Iowa St
I hope the IS team is as confident as this guy is. We have played a much beter schedule. They beat Iowa that isnt all that this year. I think we are more battle tested. Great game but the lines of scrimage will be the difference
Please continue to understate how hard it is to win a rivalry game in kinnick stadium. Iowas other loss is ohio state. Of you think that makes states resume weak your fooling yourself.
Oh on a side note. At night "Black Outs" completely suck. It does nothing for atmosphere. Iowa has done them in the past and it absolutely blows. I hate them especially at night. Anything white or yellow really cooks at night, especially if towels are given out. Black out at nights just make the stadium look dead, IMO. It's just a weird atmosphere. Now a black out with yellow towels waving would be kind of cook and intimidating.
Please try and throw the ball around at our DBs. As an Iowa State there isn’t anything I would love more then you guys trying to pass it a bunch, our guys are going to have a field day
Kansas had you dead to rights before the delay and they aren't good at all. Oklahoma state has stopped noone all year. Just saying, I think it'll be a good game but I could also see isu controlling the game fairly easily. If wvu can't run the ball the game will get ugly, that defense isn't stopping isu, at least not for long.
Just looked who they played and who WVU played ▶️ and we will see who's over hyped . One team is battle tested and how the other team is good but have played no body . And Iowa got destroyed by Ohio State ..OK ST beat Arkansas - almost beat Utah - was in the Big 12 championship last year with this exact team
Yeah iowa got destroyed by ohio state..... that's criticism? Did you see wvu play penn state? The penn state that only lost to 2 teams the last 3 years? 1 of those teams being ohio state?
Hell yea Levi . Keep that same energy Saturday night . We all believe you . WVU has no chance . You should have made it 37-17 . We suck , we will not win another game and we may just fold our football program after this . Cya after the game
@@wiphero2755 ya Baylor who has never won in morgantown and has the nations 86th ranked total offense and the 79th scoring offense . That is the best offense that Iowa state has played .
Last week Iowa state at one point had 9 guys on defense injured that start . I like our chances if we don’t lay an egg and we play physical smash mouth football
According to this guy Iowa st will win the National Championship. They have the best player at every position according to him. Is he trying to scare us.?
No, just a little excited. The team has a lot of talent that's coming together well and a schedule that gives us a decent chance at winning the conference so people are pretty excited.
To all you WVU fans that have put us down and thought we should win 11 games every year and that we are national title contenders? Well there is room on the Ohio state band wagon . We don’t want yall back after we beat these next 2 ranked teams at night and are sitting in first place in the drivers seat when we go to Arizona , who is probably the last team we will be underdogs against the rest of the season . Especially if Texas Texas tech can get a couple of injuries to help our chances at the end of the year . Neal brown is 2 signerature wins and winning 3 games we will be favorites in from going 8-4 again and making another decent bowl and maybe winning back to back 9 win seasons for the first time since bill Stewart did it in 09/10 when he didn’t beat anybody with a winning record except Pitt . So We are in uncharted waters and Mr brown will get an extension and a raise and it will put a lot of fake fans off these boards .
Could Iowa State BEAT Penn State - at Pitt at Ok State by 24 points ??? Yeah they beat Iowa by one who got absolutely trounced by Ohio State . And Baylor who is awful .. then they beat 2 high school teams .
Avoid dumb penalties or TO's....................well duh!! Same pre-game keys are always stated the same. They state that every game and want to think people think they are really on to something. Stupid.
@@morganbartman6092 How Not???? We have 2 freshman all americans at running back, a quarterback who had a top 10 all time rushing season in 2023, and dominated on the ground last week. We have the best O-line in the Big 12 by a large margin PFF currently has 3 of them graded at 88 or above and our left tackle hasn't given up a sack in 3 years. You might wann look into this a bit further.
Is Iowa St overhyped? Well, if any fanbase can tell you what an OVERHYPED team looks like, id bet my last dollar it would be the mountaineer fan base!!!! Because theyve seen it on a regular bases this entire year!! 😂😂

As a WVU fan who is pulling for PSU to run the table in the BIG Conference, I cannot disagree with anything you say.
@@885Blackjack Time for next-man-up!
@@885Blackjack they have been?
Iowa St. has done what we didn't, beating an out of conference P4 opponent. We really want to win this one.
By one point. Iowa is 3-2 and Penn State is 5-0.
@@Drumwolf62 Penn State also didn't play much while Iowa played Ohio State...
You think we will see some 2 tight end sets for West Virginia?

@@fwilliamcony28 I see they did stripe it which helps a ton.
Kansas and Ok. State both have top rated corners, and both Clement and Ray beat them all day long.

I think WVU wins soundly, 31-14. I just do not think that Iowa State will be able to stop their ground game or their defensive line.
