The Mountaineers are like the NFC East. One week they show up, the next week they don't. You never really know which Dana Holgorsen team you'll get. They played well this week, but will it be enough against Baylor's high-octane offense? Probably not.

A win! The Cyclones become the last team in the Big 12 to pick up a win this season. They had a little bit of trouble with Tulsa in the first half going down 14-7 at one point in the second quarter before tying it up heading into the locker room. Iowa State would outscore Tulsa 24-7 in the second half behind two of Jeff Woody's three goal-line touchdowns.
