West Virginia searching for a bounce back

Offensively, the Mountaineers need to create more of a balanced approach if they want to win games in league play. The rushing attack is lethal, yes, but having the threat of the passing game is what will truly open things up for them. Defensively, there is a lot to figure out. Perhaps Zac Alley's dime look was just a bad game plan for Oklahoma State's potent offense, and they return to form next weekend. That's what every WVU fan is hoping for, at least.

Iowa State aiming for Jimmy Rogers' first win vs. Power Four team at ISU

Iowa State has played two Power Four opponents (Iowa and Utah) and has come up short despite strong efforts in both. The Cyclones lost by a field goal to the Hawkeyes and had the Utes in a one-score game until late in the fourth quarter, when they hit the dagger with QB Devon Dampier. This is a scrappy bunch that is going to make it a 60-minute fight for the Mountaineers.
