WHAT’S AT STAKE?
Iowa State is off to its best start since 1980, and a win would make them 6-0 for the first time since 1938. The Cyclones are looking to extend their road winning streak to seven games. West Virginia is going after its third straight win after a 1-2 start. Iowa State and West Virginia are 2-0 in conference play. One of them will forge a first-place tie with idle Texas Tech.
KEY MATCHUP
Iowa State’s defense vs. West Virginia QB Garrett Greene. Of the dual-threat quarterbacks the Cyclones have faced so far, Greene could be the best. He had runs of 39, 15 and 10 yards against Oklahoma State last week and is averaging 5.4 yards per carry and 59 yards per game. Run defense hasn’t been a strength for the Cyclones, who hope to force Greene to try to beat them through the air. Iowa State has the Big 12’s top defense, allowing just 10 points and 272 yards per game.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Iowa State: LB Kooper Ebel has led or co-led the team in tackles in three straight games. He made just three tackles in eight games as a freshman last year. He added 15 pounds to get up to 240 on his 6-foot-4 frame and has made at least six stops in all five games. Last week he had eight tackles and a quarterback hurry against Baylor.
West Virginia: RB Jahiem White. The sophomore ran for a season-high 158 yards in the lopsided win at Oklahoma State and the Mountaineers compiled 389 on the ground. White hopes to be back on track after being limited to 94 yards combined against No. 4 Penn State, No. 22 Pittsburgh and Kansas.
FACTS & FIGURES
Anthony Becht, a tight end for the Mountaineers from 1996 to 1999, will be honored during the game for his induction into the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. His son, Rocco, is Iowa State’s quarterback. … The Cyclones have won 12 straight when scoring at least 30 points. They’ve scored at least 30 in the last five meetings with WVU. … ISU had nine plays of 20 or more yards against Baylor last week, tied for the most by a Power Four team against a conference opponent this season. … The Cyclones’ defense gets better as the game progresses. They’re allowing an average of 4.0 points and 112 yards in the second halves. … West Virginia will wear all-black uniforms in honor of the state’s coal mining industry.

Trump announces ‘America250’ celebration, says 2026 Iowa event planned
A part of the “America250” celebration, Trump said an event dubbed “The Great American State Fair” will start in Iowa.
Gov. Kim Reynolds has named a task force to prepare Iowa to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence next year.
Reynolds signed an executive order on Nov. 6 creating the task force, named the Governor’s Task Force on Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday, which will be led by Lt. Gov. Chris Cournoyer and Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig.
In a statement, Reynolds said she was honored to launch the task force.
“Ever since President Donald Trump visited the Iowa State Fairgrounds to kick off the 250th celebration, my administration has been working to coordinate our own year-long celebration,” she said. “I look forward to showcasing the incredible contributions Iowans have made throughout our nation’s history.”
Trump visited the Iowa State Fairgrounds on July 3 for an event kicking off America250, the national yearlong celebration of the nation’s semiquincentennial, leading to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.
“Iowa has a prominent place in American history more than deserving of displaying for our country’s 250th birthday,” Cournoyer said in a statement. “I want to thank Gov. Reynolds for appointing me to lead this task force with the goal of acknowledging Iowa’s impact on American excellence over the years.”
Naig said he was grateful to help lead the task force.
“America 250 is an incredible opportunity to celebrate the people who have and continue to make our nation exceptional, as well as the values that built this country — faith, family and freedom,” he said. “I look forward to working with partners across the state to highlight Iowa’s important contributions to our nation’s history over the last 250 years.”
Twenty-one Iowans will serve on the task force, including four ex officio members made up of a Republican and Democratic lawmaker from the Iowa House and Senate, who will be appointed by their legislative leaders.
The remaining members of the task force are:
- Lt. Governor Chris Cournoyer
- Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig
- Secretary of State Paul Pate
- Department of Administrative Services Director Mark Campbell
- Department of Management Director Kraig Paulsen
- Department of Economic Development and Iowa Finance Authority Director Debi Durham

Iowa women’s basketball recruit Jenica Lewis commits to Notre Dame
After a hard push by Iowa women’s basketball, in-state 2026 five-star shooting guard prospect Jenica Lewis announced on Thursday night her commitment to Notre Dame. Lewis chose the Irish over fellow finalists Iowa, Oregon, and TCU.
Lewis had long been one of the Hawkeyes’ most sought-after prospects in the 2026 class and she took an official visit to Iowa City on Oct. 25 late in the process. While the Hawkeyes hoped to add the Johnston, Iowa, native as their second 2026 commit alongside fellow five-star McKenna Woliczko, Iowa instead finishes as one of the four finalists.
“From every moment, every game, every dream – it all fits. Committed to Notre Dame,” Lewis wrote in her X announcement.
Lewis is the nation’s No. 22 overall recruit, the No. 4 shooting guard, and the No. 1 prospect in the state of Iowa, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. Per Rivals, Lewis is the nation’s No. 21 player, the No. 5 combo guard, and No. 1 player in the state in 2026, while ESPN rates Lewis as the country’s No. 24 player overall.
At Johnston High School, she was honored as the 2024-25 Iowa MaxPreps High School Girls Basketball Player of the Year after averaging 18 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.5 steals per game on 47% shooting from the field, 35% from 3-point range, and 88% from the free-throw line.
With Lewis off the board, the Hawkeyes and their fans will have their eyes locked in on the upcoming recruiting battle for five-star forward Addison Bjorn, as the program tries to secure at least two of their three high-profile 2026 targets.
Bjorn is scheduled to take her final official visit to Kansas this weekend and has yet to release an intended commitment date.
