West Virginia brought a rough end to the Paul Rhoads era at Iowa State with a dominant 30-6 victory over the Cyclones in Morgantown. Here’s what we learned:
What the win means for West Virginia: The Mountaineers are quietly becoming a pretty hot team, one that should merit top-25 consideration by season’s end. They’ve won four in a row after losing their first four Big 12 games and they’re playing excellent defense right now. West Virginia’s D forced three turnovers, recorded five sacks and held Iowa State to 3.5 yards per play and 2.3 yards per rush.
