Cyclone Alert Publisher Alec Busse publishes 18 thoughts on Big 12 football following Week 1 with a look ahead to the marquee Week 2 games in the conference at the end. 1. West Virginia played the Big 12's biggest game of the week to start the season on Saturday hosting No. 8 Penn State, giving the Mountaineers an opportunity to record a marquee victory for WVU and for the Big 12. But West Virginia never looked like they were going to put a serious scare into Penn State even though a severe weather delay. Despite a scoreless first quarter, Penn State took a 20-6 lead into halftime with PSU quarterback Drew Allar throwing three a pair of passes for Harrison Wallace for scores, including a 50-yard bomb to take a 6-0 lead following a failed two-point conversion. Kaytron Allen also caught a second-quarter touchdown pass from Allar to help PSU gain control of the game in the second quarter. When Nicholas Singleton broke free for a 40-yard score just five minutes into the third quarter, it was clear Penn State had separated itself enough to feel comfortable about its season opener. West Virginia is supposed to have one of the Big 12's best-rushing offenses this season, but C.J. Donaldson and Jahiem White combined for just 75 total rushing yards in the loss. The good news for West Virginia is that they won't play as talented a defense again all season, so Neal Brown will have an opportunity to run wild with Donaldson, White and quarterback Garrett Greene – who passed for 161 yards on Saturday – helping pace the offense.
