The Beat Reporters: Huge QB Test, Hutchins Returns & Tamin Lipsey Is BACK?!

The Beat Reporters are back with a special reunion as Ben Hutchens returns to join Jake Brend and Rob Gray for a deep dive into Iowa State football, West Virginia, and the latest Tamin Lipsey news. Ben just covered Oklahoma State’s trip to Morgantown and breaks down what he saw from the Mountaineers, including Michael Hawkins Jr., explosive running back Cam Cook, and a West Virginia offense that runs the football at an incredible rate. The guys discuss how Iowa State’s defense can slow down the Mountaineers and why the matchup could come down to strength vs. strength. On the other side, Jake, Rob and Ben examine what could be a huge game for Jaylen Raynor. Can Iowa State’s quarterback and young receiving corps finally put together a breakout passing performance? The guys discuss Iowa State’s offensive line and why West Virginia may force Raynor to win the game through the air. Then it’s a major Iowa State basketball discussion as Tamin Lipsey’s potential return changes the outlook for T.J. Otzelberger’s roster. The guys discuss the NCAA court case and how Iowa State’s roster could look if Lipsey is officially cleared to return. The Beat Reporters presented by Kelderman Manufacturing.
