Gold & Blue Breakdown Ep. 11 | West Virginia vs. Iowa State Preview

[@justingraves9049]

Great video. I'm an ISU fan and yes, obviously I want them to win this game. But man I watched a couple of West Virginia's game this year and I can see them winning all the rest of their games this year in conference play. Also on a side note, West Virgina is playing a physiological play book with the all black uniforms this home game. Matt Campbell does the all black uniforms with some ISU home games or important games like against Oklahoma (in the past) or against Kansas State. I think West Virginia is doing the all black to let coach Campbell know, "Hey we're ready to play some football and your in my house now, mourgantown!"

[@CouzsCornerSports]

I’m sue that’s part of it, but they were likely just waiting on the first night game of the year to wear them. It’s cool that it’s against ISU though. A ranked team who also wore black while beating a highly ranked West Virginia team in 2018.

[@RockyStatue]

Good show guys! Can’t wait for Saturday!

[@JackssonClark]

A beautiful stat from Brad Howe today: Iowa State's defense average yards before contact with a runner is almost 2 yards. 96th (or so) in the country. This one is there for the taking, boys. Not saying we're gonna take it, but it's there.

[@Beepitybopp]

Gonna be a dandy Couz

[@CouzsCornerSports]

Absolutely

[@gsmyrna7469]

I called it. Need fast start and NB had 2 weeks to prepare.

[@gsmyrna7469]

NB kick the ball out of the end zone

[@CouzsCornerSports]

@@gsmyrna7469 amen

[@toshmiller5571]

Thanks

[@CouzsCornerSports]

Thank you.

[@jaymcclanahan353]

One player to watch is TJ Jackson. He is coming on each and every game. Getting a push on the D line could be a difference maker. The overall player that will be extremely hard to beat is #12 the Coal Rush Fans. Let’s Goo!!

[@CouzsCornerSports]

Mountaineers!

[@bigred4wvu2]

🤣🤣 Nice stategy pick Jon 🙃

[@CouzsCornerSports]

Lol

[@SpawnOfHell]

ISU fan here. What is a Coal Rush game? Is that new?

[@allenknisell1119]

@@SpawnOfHell it's in honor of the wv coal industry and the miners who work/worked in it

[@CouzsCornerSports]

Yes. First one ever. The team will be wearing their all black uniforms with silver stripes and lettering.

[@SpawnOfHell]

@@CouzsCornerSports Are they trying to create a rivalry game with ISU with it or is it a one and done thing?

[@SpawnOfHell]

@@CouzsCornerSports They look a lot like the ones the Cyclones wear a couple times a year.

[@WyoMountaineerBigXII]

1st half- Smash mouth, downhill football, establishing the run game and get out to a 2 to three score lead. Second half- counters and option plays(RPO and run) to keep ISU off balance.

[@CouzsCornerSports]

@@WyoMountaineerBigXII I like it.

[@wvumountaineerlairwithkenn4831]

My player to watch is Day Day Farmer.

[@CouzsCornerSports]

@@wvumountaineerlairwithkenn4831 that’s outside the box.

[@williewilson972]

This will be another great weekend of Big XII Football. The tension is building. Who will win the BTC. What BTC Teams make the playoffs.

[@wvumountaineerlairwithkenn4831]

Hey Couz check out this stat Iowa St has done 6-0 since 1938, they are in uncharted territory for sure. Can they handle the pressure of getting 6-0 in 2024 I don't know.

[@davidwilliams4498]

Gonna be a great game of course would love to see payback from 2018 when Brock purdy at home beat a high rank undefeated WV team. Script is flipped Saturday.

[@CouzsCornerSports]

I hope so

[@Mattdixxx]

Hey couz , sorry I don’t come by more often. I always like your content and watch it . I’m just sick of our online fans . And so are the real fans and commentators . Tony Caridi has a message for these armchair fans that keep talking shit about Neal brown . It’s this , we are going to keep winning and Neal brown is going to keep smiling all the way to the bank with an extension and a raise. We are taking this one game at a time and I’m getting nervous again, but Neal brown and the world champion WVU mountaineers are 2 big night game wins away from being in great shape to a big 12 championship in our last 5 games . If we win these next 2 games we will be favored in 3 of the 5 we have left . Ucf team quit on their coach . Their players are transferring . Baylor has never beaten WVU in Morgantown and sure cincy is decent but they are def not going to be the favorites over WVU if we can win the next 2. Get ready for the ride it’s going to be a good one .

[@lukebart920]

Just realized we haven't been very good deep anyway have we?

[@CouzsCornerSports]

Offensively or defensively?

[@Drumwolf62]

I think Okie State and Kansas are better teams than Houston and Baylor.

[@CouzsCornerSports]

Maybe, but the record don’t show it at the moment

[@wvumountaineerlairwithkenn4831]

So my prediction this week is 38 to 31 WVU, keys to victory is the same as last week except 1, 1st make them a one horse pony, 2nd limit possessions, 3rd Close the pocket on the QB to make him and get your hands up in passing lanes.

[@CouzsCornerSports]

@@wvumountaineerlairwithkenn4831 great keys.

[@roblambert9519]

Probably won’t see this cause haven’t done post game. But big 12 had a lot to do with this showing. Unfortunately we need a high ranked team to keep the league relevant. College football is nothing more than WWE

[@Drumwolf62]

I think WVU is a better team. WVU is scoring more points in games. If WVU played Iowa State schedule, WVU would be 5-0 as well.

[@bwl57]

@@Drumwolf62 you wouldn't win in kinnick. Iowa would stop your run and you don't want Greene to have to beat them. If it wasn't for a much better passer than Greene in Rocco Becht and 2 nfl wrs iowa state would have lost too.

[@wvumountaineerlairwithkenn4831]

My prediction was perfection last week I said WVU would win 38 to 14 WVU, plus so was my keys 1st make OSU a one horse pony, 2nd limit there possessions, make the QB uncomfortable in the pocket.

[@CouzsCornerSports]

@@wvumountaineerlairwithkenn4831 you nailed it brother!

[@amberstevenson3475]

Our fan base in the stadium is awful, they are so dead and no help at all.

[@baxtermallory1006]

WVU 28 ISU 24 GREENE finds a way. ISU is a better football team as we stand today, but we find away. Momentum counts when climbing.

[@donjohnson6186]

Do you think Iowa State would be undefeated if they played our schedule to this point. We are beter battle tested and Jaheim Joseph said. 1 of 11. Do ur job cause you now know the other guy is going to do his. I just believe we are the beter team.

[@pitchshot2868]

Nothing about the PATSY schedule WVU had last year and still did not beat a team with a winning record. Guess that easy schedule was ok for NB but not ISU???

[@CouzsCornerSports]

They would not be undefeated with our schedule.

[@CouzsCornerSports]

We are five games into the 2024 season. Why are you still stuck on 2023?

[@pitchshot2868]

@@CouzsCornerSports But everything was all NB last year when WVU was 9-4 with an easy schedule. Now complaining that ISU has an easy schedule and would not be undefeated if they had WVU schedule this year. Don’t get it WVU plays a wuzzie schedule and talk how good they were BUT another team has a light schedule and you make a basically laugh as to why they are undefeated ? Only in WV ?

[@CouzsCornerSports]

@@pitchshot2868 I did not laugh. I simply answered the question. Saying Iowa State would not be undefeated with WVU’s schedule is in no way relevant to what WVU did a year ago. Both things can be true. You just saw an opportunity to hammer home your anti-Neal Brown narrative.

[@Drumwolf62]

Iowa State has fools gold stats. WVU is the best team Iowa State has played so far.

[@WoodyAllenManiac]

Iowa State is unfortunately a bad matchup for WVU. The Mountaineers are sadly not going to win this one.
