Iowa State Cyclones vs West Virginia Mountaineers Match Player Stats On Oct 30, 2021

Brock Prudy's final pass fell incomplete over the back line of the end zone as time expired and unranked West Virginia stunned No. 22 Iowa State 38-31 in a Big 12 matchup on a rainy Saturday afternoon in Morgantown, W.Va.

Jarret Doege completed 30 of 46 passes for 370 yards, three scores and two interceptions for the Mountaineers (4-4, 2-3 Big 12), who gashed Iowa State for 492 yards in total offense, the most the Cyclones have given up in a game this season.
