Hang a loss on Iowa in this crazy B1G year.
We won, woohoo!!, but we weren't exactly dominating today.
October 20th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
October 20th, 2012 at 7:54 PM ^
and can hurdle Boise players in case Musberger didn't tell you.
October 20th, 2012 at 10:52 PM ^
so many physical specimens on their team: Bell, Sims, and Tom.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:11 PM ^
October 20th, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
It's like confronting the evil alternate-Kirk.
October 20th, 2012 at 7:51 PM ^
Has an obsolutely awful defense. What a waste of a great offense to pair it with that garbage
October 20th, 2012 at 7:54 PM ^
Cheering for Tennessee tonight. I can't stand Bama. And obviously for Penn State.
October 20th, 2012 at 7:53 PM ^
I'm watching West Virginia getting crushed by KState, because it's hilarious.
October 20th, 2012 at 7:55 PM ^
If K-State does beat West Virginia they should be favoured in every game the rest of the way. Could be another BCS disaster.
October 20th, 2012 at 7:57 PM ^
WVU has so much talent on O, but being down 17 with their D being horrific, its almost like the game is already over
October 20th, 2012 at 7:57 PM ^
K-State absolutely taking it to WVU.
October 20th, 2012 at 7:58 PM ^
October 20th, 2012 at 7:59 PM ^
XP blocked, up 13-3.
October 20th, 2012 at 7:59 PM ^
0 pts late into the 2nd quarter.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:07 PM ^
October 20th, 2012 at 8:26 PM ^
They have Kansas the last week, and that should be enough to get them to 6-6.
There's no Big 12/WAC bowl matchup, but maybe things will somehow break out so we can get West Virginia/Louisiana Tech in the Beef O'Brady Bowl. We might see both teams go over 100 in that one.
The really amazing thing is that eight days ago people were touting them as MNC contenders and a potential undefeated team.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
That was Iowa in the huddle talking about how to make 2nd and 7 into 3rd and 4, I imagine....
October 20th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
Better start scoring points, Mr. Heisman Frontrunner.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:09 PM ^
K-State destroying WVU 24-0 late Q2...
October 20th, 2012 at 8:10 PM ^
This is what I'm celebrating with ... $10 for 750mL, but the occasion is right!
October 20th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
October 20th, 2012 at 8:15 PM ^
Haha ... Southern Tier Pumking, a pumpkin ale. Widely regarded as the "best" pumpkin ale out there.

WVU returns a kickoff for a TD.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:12 PM ^
WVU with a kickoff return TD....problem is that the sorry ass gassed D has to come back on the field to get it's tail kicked for about a 5 min 13 play drive.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
I hope that Mountaineer D is rested up and ready to go, because they're back up!
October 20th, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
Holgerson has to be regretting getting rid of Casteel now. This new DC of his is dog crap.
October 20th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
Their defense wasn't all that good last year. They gave up nearly twice as many points last year (348) as they did in 2010 (176), both with Casteel.
The new DC apparently is not helping, though.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
Man I hope Tennessee pull off the upset, or at least keeps it close. I cant stand Bama.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
I have to keep reminding myself that this is a Good Thing for Michigan. McGloin with the magic touch.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
October 20th, 2012 at 8:26 PM ^
give the hawkeyes credit....they got this crowd matching thing down to a science.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:27 PM ^
In a very un-Penn State fashion, they put together a relatively quick (for them) drive, ending in a TD pass by McGloin to - yes - Jesse James, of all people.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:28 PM ^
Iowa's driving down the field. If you thought this game would be sterile and dull (State-Iowa like) that is not the case at all so far.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
October 20th, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
Iowa misses a 49 yard FG.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
October 20th, 2012 at 8:34 PM ^
K State 345, WVU 76.
Give West Virginia's defense credit--next to the Texas game, that's the best first-half performance they've had in a B12 conference game. And only 9.1 yards per play. It's a big step forward from last week.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:47 PM ^
October 20th, 2012 at 8:57 PM ^
Most of the Geno Smith koolade this year was based on performances against C-USA and FCS opponents. And Baylor.
I don't think all the defenses in the Big 12 are that bad--K State's pretty good, Oklahoma's #1 in the country in FEI defensive efficiency. It's just that WVU started their schedule with the worst* (Baylor) and probably the third worst (Texas). It's all uphill from here until they play Kansas.
*ED.-Well, not counting West Virginia itself. What was I thinking?
October 20th, 2012 at 8:46 PM ^
14-0 Penn State. The Penn State offensive line has been giving McGloin hours to throw on several plays. Iowa is not getting penetration, and as a result, WRs for the Nittany Lions are gashing the Hawkeyes' defense.
Iowa has only 15 yards of rushing right now, and 46 yards of passing. They are going nowhere slowly with this offensive game plan.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
Whoa fan on the field ... right in the middle of a play in the Miami/FSU - he had a better chance of making the tackle than the Miami defender lol
October 20th, 2012 at 8:47 PM ^
Some idiot ran on the field right in the middle of the play in the FSU/Miami game. Ballsy
October 20th, 2012 at 8:47 PM ^
Anyone else see the guy run out onto the field at the FSU-Miami game? Dude ran right into the middle of the field during the play and tried to get a high five from players. Crazy!
October 20th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
Iowa linemen dropping like flies.
October 20th, 2012 at 8:52 PM ^
...and Geno Smith throws an INT to start the 2nd half - stick a fork in 'em...
October 20th, 2012 at 8:52 PM ^
Fun Fact: Iowa's team bus was supposed to go over a cliff 2 years ago, but miraculously they were spared. Death has since been harvesting the lot of them one player at a time, ala Final Destination.
