WHAT IS AT STAKE?

Iowa State is off to its best start since 1980 and a win would move it to 6-0 for the first time since 1938. The Cyclones are looking to extend their winning streak on the road to seven games. West Virginia is looking for its third straight win after a 1-2 start. Iowa State and West Virginia are 2-0 in conference play. One of them will compete with idle Texas Tech for first place.

KEY MATCHUP

Iowa State’s defense against West Virginia QB Garrett Greene. Of the dual-threat quarterbacks the Cyclones have faced so far, Greene might be the best. He had runs of 39, 15 and 10 yards against Oklahoma State last week and is averaging 5.4 yards per carry and 59 yards per game. Run defense has not been a strength for the Cyclones, who want to force Greene to beat them through the air. Iowa State has the Big 12’s best defense, allowing just 10 points and 272 yards per game.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Iowa State: LB Kooper Ebel has led or tied for the team in tackles in three straight games. As a freshman last year, he managed just three tackles in eight games. He gained 15 pounds to reach 240 at his 6-foot-3 frame and made at least six stops in all five games. He had eight tackles and a quarterback rush against Baylor last week.

West Virginia: RB Jahiem White. The sophomore ran for a season-high 158 yards in the lopsided win at Oklahoma State and the Mountaineers racked up 389 yards on the ground. White hopes to get back on track after being limited to 94 total yards against No. 4 Penn State, No. 22 Pittsburgh and Kansas.
