00:00So K-State stays on the road this week, Kev, against a West Virginia team that has been

00:09disappointing.

00:10West Virginia at home last week, trappy spot for Iowa State, unable to really stay competitive

00:14in that football game, just one and two against the number as an underdog this year.

00:20But here it is once again, another road test for a K-State team under Chris Kleiman that

00:25has not been great away from the Little Apple.

00:28How do you see it playing out tonight at Morgantown?

00:30Look, let's not forget Colorado's best player, Travis Hunter, left that game very early.

00:35And when you lose Hunter, you lose your best receiver and your best quarterback all in

00:40one play, which is a really tough blow for Colorado.

00:44The fact that they not only still covered the game, but led with, you know, three minutes

00:47to go in this football game, man, that it probably sinks their season, which is crazy

00:53to say, but it probably does for Colorado.

00:56And for K-State, who I still think, again, is the best team pound for pound in the Big

01:0212, this is a really bad spot.

01:05On the road again, as you mentioned, right?

01:07With the fact that now you have West Virginia, who just kind of got up for an upset against

01:12Iowa State, left waiting and wanting a little bit more, I can only look Mountaineers here

01:17and Garrett Green.

01:18I like West Virginia as well.

01:20They didn't cover against Iowa State, but I do feel their offense could move the football

01:24back to back row games for me, Ben.

01:26That is the difference.

01:27They might be a little bit banged up from playing Colorado, expended a lot of energy.

01:31They won, but didn't cover 31 to 28.

01:34And I like West Virginia's offense as long as they cannot turn over the football.

01:39That was a cause of concern.

01:41And at least sustained drives early on.

01:43If they score first, I think they're going to be in this game plus the two and a half.

01:47I like them plus 114 on the money line.

01:4955 and a half is the total West Virginia in its three games as a dog this year, all three

01:55under.

01:57Iowa State still in Big 12 play, despite being one and two ATS this year, 30, 17 and three

02:02against the number with Chris Kleiman as the head coach that has been the case since 2019.

02:07Best in the conference, but on the road in the last two seasons, the Wildcats are one,

02:13six in one against the spread.

02:15It is tied for the second worst at the FBS level alongside USC in the last two years.

02:22Where West Virginia struggles is throwing the football.

02:25Garrett Green, less than 210 and four of five against FBS foes.

02:29Kansas State is really good on the ground.

02:31Second best rushing defense in all of college football.
