After watching other Big 12 games this weekend, i'm feeling better.

We can beat anyone on the schedule, but I can also see us losing any of the games (yes, Kansas too). Should be an interesting season...

I think we have MAJOR issues on offense. The BigXII stats bare out the facts, we have to fix some things if we are going to be week in and week out competitive, we need an offense that at worst can execute on basic plays.

2012 Overall Football Statistics - Big 12 Conference - Official Athletic Site

We are statistically 8-9th in every offensive category. This won't work if we are going to make a run this year.

If our offense can put together some whole games then I think we'll be just fine.

If not, it's gonna be a long year.

did someone forget we have to play texas? AT texas? that will be scary

Baylor looked really fast on offense. TCU doesnt seem as tough as originally expected.

No kidding, that D is nasty and Ash may have it figured out even more by then.

that is the one game i see as an extremely strong chance of losing. but a lot can change from now to then.

Edit: by that i mean we have have very little chance to win

The only game i really dont think we have a shot at is @ Texas but think we can upset OU and WVU at home

**Cycl1** · 09-24-2012, 09:31 AM

We have proven we can beat anyone, it is just a matter of if we can consistantly beat people. People shouldnt be writting in a W vs ISU every year anymore.

the commentators during the TCU Virigia game were talking about TCU's win streak and mentioned that ISU came to town in 2 weeks and said "ISU is by no means an easy win"

Will our offense ever figure it out. I guess thats the question that needs answered for us to have a successfull season.

**tejasclone** · 09-24-2012, 10:08 AM

Texas will be exposed by someone who has a defense with a pulse. They do look much better than last year, but I'm not sold yet.

I'm cautiously optimistic until we play an actual Big 12 team. If we look good against Tech on Saturday I think we're in line to finally improve that conference wins number.

This. I think we should see what this team can do against real competition. I can see this team being very competitive, but the offense and its propensity for momentum killing turnovers will not bode well the Big 12.

I think ISU can hang with anyone in the Big 12 as long as they limit (or eliminate preferably) their turnovers.

If we have some lousy weather for WVU, it might help. Go ABC.
