IOWA (IRN) – The Hawkeyes made a decent Indiana football team look helpless, winning 42-16 in Indiana. For the second season in a row, the Cyclones upset an opponent that featured a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate — this time 30-14 against a West Virginia team that came to town as the Big 12’s lone unbeaten school. They beat Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma a year ago, and Will Grier and sixth-ranked West Virginia on Saturday night at home.
