00:00Iowa State is 5-0 for the first time since 1980, looking for its first 6-0 unbeaten start
00:11since 1938.
00:14They are a road favorite tonight, Kev, in Morgantown against West Virginia, a Mountaineers
00:19team that has won two straight games, covered in two straight after a slow start this year.
00:26How do you break down the matchup?
00:27It's a tricky spot, man.
00:29Preseason, if you were to see this number, you'd be like, whoa, Mountaineers are supposed
00:33to be in the mix, not getting a lot of respect.
00:36Then you look at the 11-rank for Iowa State, you go, whoa, short number.
00:40I peel back a little bit, though, now on West Virginia.
00:43You got smashed by Penn State, okay, you're not of that level.
00:46The pit thing was very, very fluky.
00:48Now, the Kansas win was a bit nuts as well.
00:52They dominate Oklahoma State, though, and now I start to wonder, does West Virginia's
00:56offense have its level?
00:58I think the safest way for me, Leecey, would be a team total on the Mountaineers side.
01:03Yeah, I like West Virginia here, plus the three.
01:06The fact that they're playing at home is the difference.
01:09Last time that Iowa State was here, they lost as a 6.5 point favorite on the road, 38-31,
01:14so give me West Virginia in a bounce back spot.
01:17I think they can run the football, and typically, even though they're 2-0 on the road this year,
01:21Matt Campbell, very suspect over the last three years on the road or on a neutral field.
