Last week’s win over Texas seemingly cemented Iowa State football’s destiny this season, but don’t tell that to the West Virginia Mountaineers. The ‘Eers come into Saturday afternoon’s tilt having won four of their last six games, are hungry for an upset, and have playmakers that lead the league on both sides of the ball.
Tony Fields II will almost certainly make things difficult for the ISU offense all game long. The senior linebacker leads the conference with 79 total tackles this season, three more than Iowa State’s Mike Rose, despite having played one less game. Fields II has been almost unstoppable as of late, recording 14, 12, and 15 tackles over his last three games.
