Just curious but this is one of the only games not to have a line yet. Anybody know why?

I heard 14.5 on KXNO yesterday. Haven't look online yet.

It isn't online yet. I typically check Danny Sheridan's site and it's got nothing. I figured maybe KU had some major injury, but then they've been getting beaten so badly I can't figure why it would matter.

They might be down to their third string QB. I don't think they know for sure yet.

Seriously have we ever been favored by 14 points to another Division 1 team. It had to be like 20 years ago.

I hadn't thought of that, but yeah, that's probably why the line hasn't been officially released. Vegas is probably waiting to see which QB will be out there.

So do you think that 14 point line assume they are playing their first string, or their 3rd string? Their second string had a concussion so I have to assume he is out for sure.

Supposedly down to their #4 QB now... Gill presser is this afternoon.

Good thing our Defensive line remembered how to play last week, I have a feeling that we'll be seeing a lot of rushing on Saturday.

The reason is the uncertainty about the Kansas QB situation (and possibly additional roster "unknowns").

The spread that Marty mentions (and Chris reports) is a number released by the Las Vegas Sports Consultants (LVSC). This information is not available free to the public, but you can subscribe to their service to receive their lines, which I assume Marty does.

LVSC is an independent company that does the research that most casinos use to set their initial lines. Any movement in the lines after that is based on the money that comes in on either side. A casino's goal is even money on each side, thus, guaranteeing profit on the "juice".

What has likely happened is that the LVSC has released their initial line, but the casinos are waiting for more info on the Kansas QB situation before opening the game up for betting. It's not a game they are likely to see a high volume on, anyway, so waiting a couple days is worth it to get it right.

Sands and Beshears are their running backs. Webb and Pick who are both dinged up are the QB's. If Sands and Beshears are out ISU better beat KU by 50 they have no offense left.

I would guess that Tiller and Capello will do most of the game for us. ARob will probably be rested for most of the game. A lot of the younger players on both offense and defense will probably get some time also.

Who is this? A JC transfer? Also did we hear official news as to what was wrong with Webb?

When did he get suspended? He was playing wildcat for them last week and looked pretty good.
