-Purdy Or Zeb at QB, though it's probably more likely that it's Kempt or Purdy
- Collin Olson OR Josh Mueller is a change at LG - Mueller had been listed #1 prior to this week even though Olson has started the last 3 games.

Did Chase Allen play at OSU? I don't remember seeing him but it would sure be nice to have him back and involved in the offense.

We won't see Kempt until after the bye week thats at the earliest. Pretty hard to remove Purdy from the starting role as of now.

The thing that gets me most excited is seeing how many of the two deep will be back. Some tough losses to replace at corner, and Willie Harvey will be missed, but a very strong core of the team will be back, with depth that has already seen the field in many cases.


Was just thinking about this especially on the O-line. We return a lot of starts next year there. Also lots of RB talent.

Is Braxton Lewis still a walk-on? Hasn't been playing like one...
yes, but he has a full tuition scholarship for academics

Braxton Lewis took his dad’s advice today and never looked back. The redshirt junior is still a walk-on, but has watched his role and responsibility transform from that of an occasional special teams player to a starter at safety. It was his work ethic that made it possible.

Lewis had received a George Washington Carver academic scholarship from ISU, so the interest started there. Coincidentally, his high school coach, Tom Radke, played football for the Cyclones in the 90s, so the the Lewis family talked to him to see if he could make any headway with then-coach Paul Rhoads about finding Braxton a spot, even as a walk-on.

my thought as well, but Campbell said this during the Big12 coaches teleconference



Campbell is careful to never let the opponent know the details. Same thing here.

One thing people often don't think about is, if you take Purdy out, the whole team loses the opportunity for production. Look at Saturday, Kene, Lang, Cronie, Milton, Akers, Jones, Butler, Eaton all had opportunities to showcase their abilities. Haven't seen that much speading the ball around for a long time. Granted thats with DM out but his numbers will increase if the defense is not crashing the box every time like they had been before Saturday's game.

Mueller started SDSU, Iowa and OU. Olson started TCU and OSU. Mueller injured his knee in practice before the TCU game.
