AMES, Iowa – Iowa State wore its “black out” uniforms on Saturday night, but West Virginia wishes it could be the one blacking out right now.
“We’re going to get rid of this game,” WVU coach Dana Holgorsen said with assurance.
The No. 6 Mountaineers showed up at Jack Trice Stadium never having trailed in a game this season, and left looking nothing like a team deserving of the Top 25, much less the Top 10, in a 30-14 smashing by the Cyclones.
The Mountaineers (5-1, 3-1 Big 12) were limited to 152 total yards on offense – their worst single-game output since 1995.
