Cyclones smother Mountaineers in Ames

West Virginia's roller-coaster season remains on the downslope after the Mountaineers lost their third straight game to Iowa State on Saturday.

While the WVU defense played well for much of the contest, the offense struggled to find any footing as the Cyclones rallied to stuff the Mountaineers and earn their first Big 12 win of the season. WVU is now one loss away from losing bowl eligibility, and its schedule doesn't get any easier.

On the newest edition of the Gold and Blue Nation Podcast presented by Pritt and Spano, Ryan Decker and Sam Coniglio break down Saturday's clash and look ahead to WVU's final three games of the season.
