The Cyclones bring a balanced offense into Morgantown, but our college football betting picks believe Iowa State will rely successfully on Rocco Becht to bring down the Mountaineers on Saturday.
A place beside idle Texas Tech at the top of the Big 12 standings is on the line tonight when the No. 11 Iowa State Cyclones visit the West Virginia Mountaineers.
WVU ranks 15th in rushing, piling up 222.8 yards per game. They stay committed to the ground game, averaging nearly 43 carries per contest. Last time out, the Mountaineers pounded the rock 65 times for a whopping 389 yards in a 38-14 demolition over Oklahoma State. West Virginia’s pass defense isn’t exactly stout. They are 100th in pass yards allowed, surrendering 243.4 yards through the air per game. The opposition is taking those yards in big chunks as WVU is Bottom 4 in yards allowed per completion at an explosive 15.2 yards.
The only game Becht was held to Under 200 yards passing in a game this season was against the Houston Cougars, when he threw for just 153 yards in a 20-0 win. Eric has been involved in sports media in many different capacities since graduating from journalism school in 1999, back when getting your own column in a newspaper was still considered a thing. He doubled down and graduated from broadcast journalism school five years later, which led to a move to Toronto and a career with The Sports Network .
