Just read that on the bottom line. Always hated playing a team a week after they fire their coach. Same thing happened last year with Kansas didn't it?

Yes, although in this case Rhoads will coach that game... I think if he chooses to.

The ISU site is reporting Rhoads will coach the WVU game.

 

[locustwv]

That's even worse. They'll be trying to win that one for him. Oh well, I still think we win a close one

 

[BornAgainEer]

Stop. You are giving the fire Holgorsen crowd hope.

I don't see this game being close. WVU wins by at least 3 TDs.

I don't see that Iowa State team getting up to play any game. They've lost 2 heartbreakers in back to back weeks. This last game was ridiculous and really unimaginable the way they lost and their rb looked really hurt coming off the field.

I don't see that team getting up to play. WVU better get up to play. Sr day and a lot to play for.

Not sure if this was why. But playing KState yesterday. I turned on as K St had 4th and 12, down seven with 1:30 to play. It's st stopped them. Game over. K St had one TO. Kneel on ball three times game over. He ran the ball, they fumbled and best back got hurt in the process. Not sure of his status. Then proceeded to lose in ot.

That and his abysmal record. At worst you have your qb burn as much time before the D gets to him & then fall down, and on 4th down if there is one, you punt or throw it as high as you can out of bounds. His decisions Saturday forced the ADs hand and he lost his job.

It got worse. They didn't even make it to overtime. the atrocious decision to not take a knee where they handed off to their best running back who fumbled after tearing his knee up allowing K State to score and tie the game up was not the end. On the next play after the kickoff their quarterback going back to pass fumbled the ball . It was recovered by K State who kicked the winning field goal with 3 seconds left in regulation, unreal finish.
